What are good items to put in a basket for a girl who lives with guys?

Asked by IBERnineD (7324points) December 18th, 2008

My sister went from having two female room mates to having two guys. My sister complained one day about how she couldn’t borrow the same things she could from the girls, from the guys. (i.e. nail polish remover, tampons, etc) I thought it would be cute to give her a basket of things she can’t borrow from boy room mates. What should I make sure to include?

this is actually a really cute and good idea! i love it!

i would include:
– tampons
– midol or tylenol lol
– hair ties, barrettes, hair accessories
– nail polish remover
– clear nail polish (she can even use this for runs in her pantyhose, ha)
– deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body splash, body wash gel (i’d get the trial sizes)
– eyeliner
– lip balm
– a nice eyeshadow single
– and a good mixtape and/or book

i’ll add more as i think about it :)

All of those ^ things, plus some earplugs.

I’d put an air horn in. Not only does it make for a good gag joke, but if the guys get loud n’ rowdy and your sis finds it annoying, she can give a quick blast, that should quiet things down enough so she can use words and communicate with em. Just don’t let the guys find it or it’ll never stop!

More practically, a few sets of pantyhose might be nice, I know that’s one thing I would need to borrow in a pinch. Apparently you can get them in a plastic egg, so it would fit in nicely with the basket.

Air freshener

Good one kevbo! That goes along with those earplugs for the unfortunate and inevitable ‘sounds’ that will have her reaching for the air freshener.

Taser or a pepper spray just for safety.

Condoms just in case a night of partying gets a little out of control.

Tasers and Pepper Spray is not needed! They are good friends with her and me, they would never hurt her!

A few basic fitted t-shirts. If you’re used to borrowing from your female roomies’ closets, then getting some extra clothing would be nice. Grab colours she doesn’t already have, if you can. It’s sad when the only colour you want to wear is the one you don’t have.
