Most people know at least one college student who is difficult to shop for. I have taken the liberty of compiling the most needed things for college students.

1. Dry erase board

Every student needs a dry erase board they are so good for jotting down reminders or for planning a week ahead. You can get a very similar one at Office Depo.

2. A high quality water bottle

With a busy lifestyle, the most important thing for a student to do is to stay hydrated, encourage the good behavior with a stylish and durable water bottle. You can get these specific ones here.

3. School supplies

No matter the student, school supplies are a must-have! pencils, pens and, notebooks make great gifts for those students who want to spend their money elsewhere.

4. Money

Every college student can use money. College is expensive! And trust me, they WILL appreciate it!

5. Textbooks

A gift literally every college student will appreciate, offer to help them purchase one of their textbooks!

6. Snacks

Snacks are such a good gift that will come in handy literally all of the time. 3 AM study session fatigue is a thing of the past when snacks are involved.

7. A coffee maker

A coffee maker is great even for the kids who don't drink coffee. And everyone knows that caffeine is the fuel of the modern student

8. Socks

Students will hold off on laundry for as long as possible. A gift of socks will not go unnoticed.

9. A planner

Getting it together is much easier when they can write down every task at hand. Get your student a planner so that they will succeed.

No matter the gift, Most college students will appreciate it. Mainly because it is free. We are all broke.
