I would like some idea's please?

my son will be graduating 8th grade this June. He attends a small private school with only 18 kids graduating. I was thinking of decorating those clear plastic paint cans that you can buy at Michaels and filling them with things to prepare them for high school. I would love some ideas of what to fill them with and if anyone has some kind of saying to go along with that idea. Kind of along the idea of those survival kits for teachers. Any and all help will truly be appreciated!!

depending on the size of the can--some ideas from a teacher: highlighter-a couple of colors (my 9th grade like to highlight their notes), good erasers, red, blue and black pens, post it notes, tissue, pencils, pencil sharpener. Those are things my students use the most.

Chocolate and post it notes would be good
