Digital Pen
I saw this recently and think it’s absolutely genius. This Digital Pen and accompanying app allow your hard-working student to take notes that will sync with their computer!! The notes are stored digitally for easy use, editing and organizing. It also takes audio recordings. When I was in college this would have been what I wanted.
Wireless Headphones
We all need a polite way to ignore other people, especially when you’re struggling to finish a ridiculous assignment. Help the student you love avoid pointless conversation and distraction with noise-cancelling wireless headphones! They’ll play anything they want while looking awesome. Perfect for bus rides, library hideouts, and gym sessions.
Portable Charger
 Everyone needs one of these in their lives but especially a student. When your device is running low on fuel it can be hard to find an outlet that’s not already in use. Give you’re academic the gift of freedom in the form of a Portable Charger. They’ll never have to worry about losing power again.
Yeti Tumbler
All college kids run on caffeine.
Let’s make sure it stays hot for when they need it with this cult classic Yeti tumbler. This gift does double duty by giving them a way to bring coffee from home so they don’t spend a ton at Starbucks day in and day out. Hot coffee and savings of $50-100 a month? #winning.
Laptop Bag
An amazing convertible laptop bag is the perfect gift for the business student or any student that will have a professional internship. Holding up to a 17.3-inch laptop this bag has tons of storage space, wheels and can be worn as a backpack or messenger bag. All while looking super stylish. Could you ask for more?

Storage is hard those first few years away from home. From shared dorms to small rented rooms, make it easier for the one on your list to have all their necessities close at hand with this Bedside Caddy.They can store their phone, pens, tablet, notebook or anything else in here for right when they need it.
Echo Dot
What student isn’t a fan of awesome music played by a high-quality speaker? The Echo Dot is also tiny for easy storage and comes with Alexa. From playing classical study music to pumping it up with their friends to ordering a pizza. Alexa and this Echo dot have them covered.
Day Designer Planner
I love a good planner. One that will have space for everything I need. Day Designer has planners specifically made for college students. It has space for classes, projects, goals, and everything else a busy college student needs to keep organized and productive. Plus learning how to do this is a skill they’ll value in their life after school too.
Toiletry bag
Sharing a communal washroom is not always awesome… Make it a little easier by giving them an easy way to store and carry their toiletries. With lots of room for everything they need in this toiletry bag, it’ll be easy to stay squeaky clean even in a dorm. It also comes in 5 colours so you can pick the one they’ll like.
These 10 useful gifts for college students are bound to be some of the ones they appreciate the most.
Make sure that they get to remember you fondly while their away at school by giving them something that they’ll use often and be thankful for.
Remember to grab that Free 6 month trial of Amazon for them, honestly it’s 6 months of free tv, just that is enough to make them happy. It’s the perfect bonus gift and it doesn’t cost you a cent!
