finals week surprise???

my younger brother (19) and cousin (18) are about to kick off finals at their perspective colleges.... I want to send them something (think: Amazon) as a little surprise and give a little push through finals... any ideas??? I could send snacks but wondering if the FGB community had some other (more original) ideas!

Someone once told me that to toss a ball between your right and left hand helps engage the right and left hemispheres of the brain and helps tackle bigger problems with better results. My desk holds different 'stress balls' that I can toss back and forth when I need to think and/or take a moment. Slinky's are another one that engage both hands. I also did a quick search and found this. https://www.hipkits.com/collections/exams

Love the food idea! My friend works at a company called Goldbelly that ships regional / artisanal food, so you could send them something from where they're from, or where you are located, to make it a little more meaningful :)

Love the nerf gun idea! Depending on their major, you could find something fun and specific for them too. (Ex: Anatomy coloring books or the game operation if they’re science/medicine track, etc.) Instead of ordering them food, I would suggest giving them a gift card for food delivery (like door dash) so they have more flexibility.

This is so sweet! I have to agree with food/snacks, though- can't go wrong there.

Love this idea. But a guy's gotta eat right? See if there's a late night cookies and milk delivery place at their schools. That's a new thing I've seen popping up. Truly, you can't go wrong with pizza can you? Send a few! Check Dominoes, Papa Johns or Pizza Hut for any deals and send two or three pizzas (for maybe a discounted price). They can share and everyone will love you!

Everyone needs a study break. Something silly and fun-- think Nerf products they can use with others; tiny or gigantic version of chess or checkers or Battleship; adult coloring book/colored pencils; if appropriate, water balloons...
