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.

If there is one common complaint universal to all those living on a college campus, it would be that the food is not exactly gourmet cuisine. Treating your favorite student to something delicious will definitely be highly welcome, and a great gift to consider is gourmet chocolate pizza from The Chocolate Pizza Company. The pizza crust is not cocoa-dusted pizza dough, but a mix of real, gourmet milk chocolate or dark chocolate mixed with rich English toffee. From there, pizza toppings such as nuts, marshmallows or M&Ms are added, and then the whole confection receives a quick splash of white chocolate before being cleverly packaged in a genuine pizza box.

In addition to the wide varieties of chocolate pizzas, you can also opt for special items such as the College Survival Kit. This kit contains a slice of milk chocolate pizza topped with almonds, pecans and walnuts, a dark chocolate mini pizza, chocolate covered Oreos, a chocolate and caramel drumstick and a package of Peanut Butter Wings. The "wings" are made from creamy peanut butter mixed with crispy potato chips. This mix is then coated in thick, rich chocolate.

Along the same lines as chocolate pizza, food-related gifts are always a big hit. So consider sending along something your student can use to make snacks in the dorm room, such as a mini microwave or fridge or perhaps a plug-in kettle which heats water for tea, instant coffee, soup and instant oatmeal. Be sure to send along some snacks with your gift so that they can enjoy the new appliance right away.

Practical gifts are a great idea for new college students, and one option is to give the gift of laundry supplies. It might not seem like a bunch of fun, but doing laundry is a reality for college students. So fill up a basket with all the necessary laundry supplies and don't forget to add a few rolls of quarters.

Before heading off to college, you can surprise your student with a book bag or a laptop bag that can carry a ton of supplies. High quality headphones are another great option that can help a student focus or help them avoid bothering a roommate. Anything that is small and has several functions is a good idea, such as alarm clock that does duty as a speaker system and charger for an iPhone or Smartphone.
