No offense but these are pretty corny for a college student. Would be cute if you were a kid, but adults should be doing some of this already without thinking its a gift. I help cook and clean all the time, why should college students rely on the parents? The passage of time picture seems kind of self absorbed as well, gives the impression you think the whole world revolves around you.

Brittany,
What is your point in leaving such a rude comment? If your going to lecture people about their parenting and having their kids live at home then maybe someone should remind you of the simple lesson "If you cant say anything nice, don't say it at all".
And the article is for college students. Where do you expect them to be over summer, christmas break, etc. living in an apartment for a weeks to 3 month? No! You go home for break! And for those young adults that are living with their parents, take a look at the economy sweetheart. Who can afford their own place on a starting salary!? These young adults are trying to get started and if that means spending a year or two at home to save money, I'd say they are looking ahead and making a smart decision. You think they really want to move back in with their parents after having all that freedom away at school?
And my mom loves to cook and bake! She makes dinner for my dad every night, so when I come home from college on a break, yes she cooks dinner for all of us. Its not a hardship? And if your parents raise you right, you get up and help by setting the table, washing your plate after dinner, and picking up. When I'm home I help my mom in the kitchen a lot.
These are some really sweet ideas that a college student can do for their parents! My sister and I are actually using one of them. We are buying a nice bottle of wine and getting a giftcard to one of their favorite restaurants so they can have a date night. I didn't do anything like this at age 8. Thanks for taking the time to post some of your ideas Kelci!

Maybe the offer is there because some college students don't have their own place and are going to be home for a month over Christmas break, and not everyone has tons of money so these aren't such bad ideas.

These are gifts from college students? It sounds like things I did when I was 8 years old. Also why are these college students still pathetic enough to be living at home and having their parents cook and clean for them. Absolutely sad and pathetic. This type of mind set makes me weep for humanity.
