    flannel sheets EXTRA LONG! for her dorm bed! lol

    bed bath and beyond has some really affordable sets.

    depending on your time and talent, for the homemade stuff:

    you could easily make a bed spread buy sewing large rectangles of fabric together and then backing of your choice

    make her a pair of shower slippers/flip flops; decorate them with huge flowers or beaded trim, etc.

    a shower bag to hold her toiletries

    a rug; get large weave type base and then slip strips of fabric, yarn, torn old t shirts, sheetsc etc through the holes and then just tie them in knots close to the base

    painted or glass etched tea light candle holders.....but, she may have to say they are "shot glasses" lol

    a cork board and some fimo clay thumbtacks

    one or two hand painted/decorated paper lanterns

    a decorated bowl to keep her keys and change in

    and a $20 dollar gift card to the local coffee shop!

    good luck!
