Help, my child is moving out! What can I do to help them remember me?

The time has come. Your little (or now quite grown-up) offspring is leaving the nest and moving into a student house where a "cleaning schedule" is nothing more than a myth. Of course, you want them to have their freedom, but let's be honest: you also want them to remember you! Luckily, you can give them a gift that reminds them of home every day, without you having to call every day to say, "Did you eat well today?"

1. A wooden skyline – A piece of home, always in sight

Whether they're going to study in a vibrant city like Amsterdam, Utrecht, or Rotterdam, or moving to a cozy village, a skyline of their hometown will evoke a warm sense of familiarity. Hang a wall-mountable skyline on the wall or give them a freestanding skyline for their desk or bookshelf. This way, their student room will instantly feel like a familiar place.

Tip: With the hanging skyline, you can also choose LED lighting on the back, turning the skyline into a vibrant city at night. A charming addition that instantly gives their room a warm feel!

Bonus: It's the perfect way to subtly let them know: Think about your parents every now and then, okay?

2. A skyline clock – Because arriving on time remains a challenge

Arriving at class on time is a serious challenge for many students. That's why a skyline clock is a brilliant move. Not only is it a stylish addition to the room, but it also subtly hints that class really does start at 9:00, not "somewhere between 9:00 and lunch."

Pro tip: Have a fun quote engraved on it, like "This clock is ticking... just like my patience when you're late again."

3. Skyline Coasters – Protect that table (if it's not too late)

Students and nice furniture? Let's face it, the two don't always go together. Give them a set of skyline coasters so their coffee mugs and beer bottles don't leave a permanent mark on their cheap IKEA table.

Advantage: If they get a new home after their studies, they don't have to replace a discolored circle table.

4. Skyline Phone Holder – So they don't lose their phone permanently

You know how it goes: "Mom, I can't find my phone, can you give me a call?" Get them a skyline phone holder so their phone always has a fixed place (and you don't have to play "detective" all day).

5. Skyline Magnets – For the Fridge (Which Hopefully Stays Full)

Food is a basic necessity, and students know that all too well. With skyline magnets, they can hang their grocery list or their new favorite takeout menu on the fridge. Bonus: they can also hang a nice photo of you and your family – even if it's just to let you know they miss you every now and then.

6. Skyline drinks platter – For cozy evenings

We all know that student houses are great for socializing. Give a skyline drinks platter , perfect for a long get-together with housemates or a Sunday evening of Netflix and snacks. It's even more fun with an engraved message like: "Eat something healthy every now and then, love from home!"
