I had a very hard time coming up with that idea, but was very pleased when I finally did.
He is starting a trade school.
Just (last week) moved into an apartment with three boys he has never met.
My brother sent his address to me.
I happened to get it the same day I was meeting middle and her boy for dinner.
I mentioned I wanted to send something to my nephew, I always have (sent things) to his sister in college, but said I was having a very hard time thinking of non-food things for him.
I can fill a box to a girl in about five minutes in Target.
Boys are a bit trickier.
Middle's boy had very good suggestions. These will last me a while. And I will ask for more, he is a good source.
The first one is a good quality over the back of the door basketball hoop.
I ordered this one (below) from Amazon. The second picture shows an extra (soft) ball I sent too. I read a lot of reviews before settling on those two items. Hopefully they are good.
Another idea middle's boy had (will send later) is a velcro type dart board. (Suggestions of brands or types welcome in comments please, I am sure they are not all created equal.)
Then he (middle's boy) also suggested posters. I will ask my brother for very specific ideas. That is another good idea. Bare walls are not very homey.
I have had a couple texts from nephew, he is adjusting well. Likes the other guys. They have been gaming and cooking, waiting for classes to start.
