The Hawaii gifts haven't changed much. I still wear my swim trunks and Aloha shirt on occasion from 2014.

NEW Mexico bowl looks nice

looked online and those Aloha shirts cost almost $100 a piece for a regular shirt with an Hawaiian print

clt says the student athletes should not recieve gifts.

What does "gift suite" mean? Wonder what all is included.

Pretty sure it’s like the Santa Store when you were in grade school.

Gift suite from what I remember USM players saying was there would be about 20 or so gifts to pick from with gifts ranging from approx $50 (1 point) up to $300 (6 points) or maybe was $350 (7 points). You got "6 or 7 points" to spend so you pick and choose from the 20 items that puts you at the $300/$350 range. Gifts would range from sunglasses to sound bars to iPads to one year USM's gift suite offered a recliner as one of the top gifts.

From the interwebs:
The NCAA allows each bowl to award up to $550 worth of gifts to 125 participants per school. Schools can, and usually do, buy additional packages that they can distribute to participants beyond that 125 limit. In addition, participants can receive awards worth up to $400 from the school and up to $400 from the conference for postseason play, covering both conference title games and any bowl game. Participants are given order forms and can select from available gifts up to the specified dollar amount.

I'm assuming the bowl game ships the recliner

This was from the gifts that the school was allowed to give on top of the bowl gifts which is usually the same amount. And the recliners were sent to either the school or the player/coach's home address
