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.
While college food has probably improved in the last few decades, it's still not five-star cuisine. So it might be nice to treat your student to a special culinary treat such as chocolate pizza. College students do eat a lot of pizza, but chocolate pizza is a treat like no other. The Chocolate Pizza Company creates this delectable specialty which begins with a blend of the finest dark or milk chocolate and handmade English-style toffee. This "crust" is then topped with a mix of nuts and white chocolate drizzle. Other topping options include M&Ms or perhaps Reese's Pieces.
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.
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.
One gift idea that is both thoughtful and helpful would be a gift basket filled with laundry items. The basket itself could be foldable laundry hamper that can be used to tote clothes back and forth from the laundry facility. Fill the basket with detergent, fabric softener, laundry instructions and a bag of quarters to use for the wash. This is a great going-away gift for your student.
Electronic gear is often a great idea for students. This can include anything from a great carrying case for their laptop or tablet to noise-canceling headphones which can make it easier to study, to listen to music or watch movies without bothering a roommate. Another option is an alarm clock that doubles as an MP3 or phone charger and speaker.
