Don’t Forget to…

Brush your teeth, wash your face, put on deodorant, make your bed, clean your room, do your homework, comb your hair, change your sheets, do your laundry, and most importantly CALL YOUR MOTHER! Send them the little reminders you can’t resist to say.

They’re on their own now. You can only do so much reminding, but sending them some “extras” on the off chance the lack of nagging has them slipping in the self care department. - Brooke

DON'T FORGET TO...List:


Game Day Ready

Bruce Pearl at Tennessee

OF COURSE it’s about the game, but make sure their look is tailgate ready!

I went to a school where guys wore coats and ties to games (War Eagle!) and girls planned outfits for weeks, but no matter the game day look, send them the right vibe to cheer on their team! It might be a game day tie or it might be body paint for the true fans. Make sure they read this before they begin their artwork! - Jenny

GAME DAY READY List:


The Sniffles

They might not call you everyday but the minute they have a sniffle the phone will ring because they want their MOM! There is nothing worse than being far away from your “baby” and not being able to nurse them back to health.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Goldbelly will be your new “go-to” to ship a quick pick-me-up. Try sending them some comforting matzoh ball soup from Junior’s or select a get well soon soup package from Spoonful of Comfort. Sports injuries or a breakup can also cause a case of the sniffles. This list will make it all a little better. - Brooke

THE SNIFFLES List:


From SF with Love

www.michelebellstudio.com

There truly is no place like home. Our east coast kids miss San Francisco. While we can’t deliver the hiking and surfing, we can send some local faves to supplement that cafeteria food.

What did we do before Goldbelly? From the famous Tartine bread to Jane cookies and more, your SF kids will love a taste of home! - Jenny

FROM SF WITH LOVE List:


Dorm Room Finishing Touches

No. You can’t stay with them in college ;) but you can send comforting finishing touches so their home away from home feels like their new nest. Faux flowers and plants instantly freshen up any bare dorm room and needlepoint pillows or neon signs add a pop of fun. - Brooke
