Gopher gifts

Giftbags.Students appreciate treats for special events, care packages before exams, or surprises for no reason at all. With a phone call or mouse click, you can make your student's day.

Balloons and bookstore items
To mark special occasions or just to brighten a cloudy day, parents can order a balloon bouquet or send University of Minnesota gear from University Bookstores (follow links to "gifts").

Care packages
Let your student know you care with care packages from the Gopher Express. Seasonal packages mark exam time, cold season, and holidays, or packages can be customized just for your student. For more information, see the Gopher Express Web page or call 612-624-8603.

Birthday cakes
Parents can call on University Dining Services to deliver a sheet cake (serves a whole residence hall floor), a half-sheet (feeds 48), or a quarter-sheet (24). Call 612-624-7173 during regular business hours; place your order at least three days in advance.

Party packages
Goldy's Gameroom in Coffman Union and the Gopher Spot in the St. Paul Student Center offer bowling and billiards passes as well as party packages (612-625-7707).
