10 Gift Ideas For Sorority 'Big & Little' That Won't Break The Bank

Sorority big little week...a time where girls spend most of their time trying to embody a color-coordinated display set up they randomly found on Pinterest. Each school and sorority chapter is different, but most involve gift giving. Now, this personally stressed me out a little bit, not to mention the fact that i was taking on not just one, but TWO littles (I know, I'm crazy). I wanted to spoil them but also found myself not necessarily having the funds to do this. So, let's get ~crafty~

1. Flowers

Flowers are one of those gifts that are so easy, yet so meaningful. With two littles, you can even split the flowers up and save some money.

2. Mason jars

Fill these with anything and everything. They're super cute and can be used after the festivities are over, too. I put candy, gift cards, small items and more inside of the jars and wrapped some ribbon around to make them more visually appealing.

3. Fuzzy socks

You can never have too many pairs of fuzzy socks and they're a given item that your little will love!

4. Picture frame

Buy a picture frame and stick a cute picture of the two of you inside, or if you're trying to keep the week of the reveal a secret, put a little note inside that reads something along the lines of "Insert a cute picture of us here!"

5. Stickers

If you walk around a college campus where Greek life is present, you'll most likely see Greek letters on laptops, water bottles, cars, etc. You can't go wrong with purchasing some stickers of your sorority letters for your little to deck out her new gear.

6. Face masks

Face masks are cheap, small, and you can pile them up to make a cute display. I know that my littles were so excited to get some skin treatment and even got some for myself so that we could all have a face mask party.

7. Canvas paintings

If you have enough paint and consider yourself an artistic person, you've got a huge advantage and can create some unique and personal paintings for your little. Pinterest has lots of ideas for paintings that pertain to sorority related designs, but also has many ideas for trendy wall art as well.

8. Greek letters

Wooden greek letters that you can paint are SO appreciated by the little sisters. They would love nothing more than to be able to hang them up in their dorm and show off their cute letters. There are so many different designs and variations available to personalize the letters, be creative!

9. T-SHIRTS

Your little is relatively new to the sorority and probably doesn't have too many t-shirts to wear around yet. I had an excessive amount of shirts, some that I never even wear, from a bunch of events and some that my big passed down to me. Trade shirts with some sisters and give your little some tees so she can represent your letters.

10. Snacks

Your little, or any girl, will definitely appreciate some free food. Purchase a basket and put a few of her favorite snacks and candy inside, you can maybe even add some colored frilly filling inside to make it look fuller and cuter!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
