Big Little Reveal Basket Ideas Your Chapter Will Love
So you just got your little and now you're freaking out about how to plan the perfect reveal. We’ve been through this process (and scrolled through way too many TikToks about it), so we got you.
We’ll be sharing the ultimate guide for creating a Big Little reveal basket that will slay in 2025. These ideas are not just cute, they're meaningful touches that will make your little feel special from day one!
Handwritten Note
Nothing beats personalizing your basket with a sentimental note. In this digital age, taking time to write something by hand hits different. Share why you’re excited to be their big, mention specific moments from recruitment that stood out, and maybe drop some advice from your own experience.
You could include your favorite spots on campus, little traditions you want to start together, or inside jokes you've already developed. This costs almost nothing but will be something they'll keep forever.
Matching Tees
Cute Big Little shirts are a must-have for any reveal! You and your sisters could come together and gift matching chapter shirts for the Big Little reveal. These moments create such good content for socials! Plus it immediately gives your little a sense of belonging.
First, you need to find Big Little shirt designs for your littles. If your class doesn't have a theme yet, now's the perfect time to pick one.

Want to make your little feel seen? Create a collage of things they love plus a pic of you two together and put it in a frame! This shows you've been paying attention to their aesthetic, interests, and the connection you're building. They can hang it in their dorm room as a daily reminder of their new sisters.
Check their Pinterest or Insta to nail their vibe. College life can be intense so having this visual reminder that they belong somewhere special can be so grounding. Plus, they will appreciate you taking the time to curate images specifically for them.

Snacks
Load that basket with their favorite munchies! Think about their everyday essentials—maybe they always have those protein bars from the campus store, can't live without their iced coffee, or love munching on Takis.
It's a simple thought but feels personal when someone remembers your specific snack preferences and daily habits. This kind of attention to detail is what makes a Big Little reveal event truly memorable.
Errand Support
The ultimate thoughtful gift? Ticket stubs for laundry and other errands they need to run while living in the dorm. College life is overwhelming, and practical gifts can be a lifesaver. Include laundry tokens, a small laundry bag, gift cards for the campus coffee spot, printer credits, or even rideshare credits for those late nights.
Remember, Big Little isn’t about who can put together the most expensive basket. It’s about making your little feel special and showing how excited you are to be their big.
