Gifts That College Students Will Love

By Elba Fenwick


While going away can be a lot of fun and a chance to gain some independence, college students need a little something to lift their spirits and cure any bouts of homesickness. If the student in your life needs a little TLC, here are a few gift suggestions they are sure to enjoy.

The dorm food is notoriously bad, so one great gift idea would be to send them something truly decadent to eat. While collegians tend to inhale large amounts of pizza every week, you can change this up a bit and send some gourmet chocolate pizza. This chocolate confection, created by The Chocolate Pizza Company, is created from a mix of luscious milk or dark chocolate mixed with homemade English toffee. This forms the crust and then the pizza is topped with everything from nuts to M&Ms to marshmallows and Reese's Pieces and a drizzle of white chocolate. The pizza is then wrapped in cellophane and placed in an actual pizza box for presentation.

The owners of the Chocolate Pizza Company also have created a special gift designed just for collegians. This package, the "College Survival Kit," contains everything need to lift the spirit of your favorite college student. In addition to a slice of milk chocolate pizza and a miniature dark chocolate pizza, the box also contains peanut butter wings and several other goods. The wings are actually gourmet, locally made potato chips blended with the finest creamy peanut butter. Finally the mix is dipped in either dark or milk chocolate.

Small appliances, such as a compact microwave, an electric kettle or a coffee maker, make great gifts for the dorm room. Send a kettle along with an assortment of instant hot beverages, cereals and soups. You can also purchase a small refrigerator for the dormitory, but some colleges restrict the size of appliances, so be sure you know what is allowed.

When your child goes away to college for the first time, it is a great idea to give them some practical gifts. They will be completely responsible for their laundry, so a great present would be to fill a foldable laundry hamper with all the detergents, stain treater and fabric softener they will need. In addition, write down some helpful laundry tips and include a big bag filled with quarters.

If your student needs a laptop or tablet, that certainly is a great going-away gift, but if those supplies are not needed, then consider getting them a cool bag to carry the computer, books and supplies. An alarm clock is another idea, but it's a good idea to get the type that also acts as a charger and speaker for their mobile phone or MP3 player. Headphones, the fancy noise-cancelling type, are another electronic item college students will appreciate.
