A female friend of mind recently drove me and another friend up to visit our buddy at another university since she was visiting a friend of hers at the same university too. My buddy got really drunk on the way up and was really obnoxious, and he had never even met the girl before. I feel awful, because I think she wanted to stay longer, but I had to get back to work (she knew this in advance).
She is a good friend, and she lives in a sorority house. Id like to get her something to thank her for taking us up, and putting up with my friend. What should I get her and how do I give it to her without looking like I am trying to date her in front of her whole sorority house (which will inevitably tease her like crazy if it does look that way)?

A little card expressing your thanks and apologising for your friend with a beautiful bunch of flowers and some candy :)

You can never go wrong with a restaurant gift certificate. They are nothing personal but they show you care. To go with it you should buy movie certificates. They sell them at AMC. I think those would be an appropriate gift for this occasion. She did you a really big favor, so they gift certificate should be about $50 for the food and two movie passes. Attached should be a thank you card, showing it’s just a thank you and not a more personal thing.
If either of those don’t sound good, maybe a gift card to the mall or a money gift. I wouldn’t buy chocolate or a bear or anything like that. That would be awkward, I hope you find the perfect gift and she enjoys it. Good luck

The gift might be travel related since her generosity came from giving you a ride. How about a First Aid Kit which every car, boat, home or office should have because you never know when an accident might happen. Email me if your interested as I work with a group that has a top notch one I can get you at a gift price.

Sending flowers to her sorority would be a terrible idea. If she could get them somewhere else that would be a very nice expression of your gratitude for the favor she did for you. The safest thing to do, but does not have the impact is to send her a thank you card.

Give her a Thank You card with a Bath & Body Works Gift Cert inside. Write inside the card that you really appreciate her dealing with your abnoxious friend and she didnt have to do what she did but shes a great person!

A nice gift card to a store, or spa. Enclosed with a simple thank you card. That's always a good gift for anyone: friends, family, for any occasion too. And it's small and discrete so you can easily slip it to her unknown to the world.

A thank you card with a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant. Make sure the certificate is enough to pay for 2 meals, maybe she'll invite you. But if she doesn't, don't be angry, this is a gift and hers to do with as she pleases. Maybe she'll take her mom there.
Good luck.
Peace.

Gift card to macy's, dillard's nordstrom or saks. Not as personal as Victorias secret or a smell-good store, but she can find the best of just about anything she's into in those places

Give her a gift card to a local salon for whatever. We girls love the salon for hair and nails, etc. Give it to her with a nicely written "Thank You' Card. You are sweet to give her something. Good Luck.
