I would agree with Damage. You can actually smell the grilled onions and bell peppers all over Los Angeles (usually around 2 am, when all the clubs are closing down).

Whatever it is they use for beef sashimi- that stuff is addictive.

Oooh- a rich cup of hot cocoa with a biscotti.

I think the most important thing about being a senior in college is the idea of crossing a threshhold from one lifestyle to another- from grown up in training to full fledged adult. The basket really should reflect it- it should contain morsels that any adult palate would appreciate, while containing a few grown up versions of comfortable favorites.

The cherry chocolate bread and Vosges hot cocoa would be fun, high end versions of familiar comfort foods. Expand the palate with adult favorites such as a beautiful crotin and some of the six year old balsamic vinegar paired with the french peasant bread. Include some adult tastes only foods like the bottaga caviar. Then finish with something that anyone can enjoy, no matter where they are in life: some delicious brownies and cookies.

These are all just suggestions- I only quickly browsed the website to look for ideas- I'm sure even better items than these listed would fit the idea of transitioning from (relatively) carefree college student to full time adult.
