What to look for in gifts for college students

1. Practicality

College students often appreciate practical gifts that they can use regularly. Think about items that can make their life easier or more comfortable, like a quality backpack, noise-cancelling headphones, or a coffee maker.

2. Compactness

Due to limited space in dorm rooms, it's best to choose compact and easy-to-store gifts. Avoid bulky items that might take up too much room.

3. Durability

College life can be rough on belongings, so opt for durable items that can withstand heavy use.

4. Personal Interests

Consider the student's personal interests or field of study. A gift related to their major or hobby will show that you put thought into the gift and understand what they're passionate about.
