Gift Ideas For Students Away At College

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.

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.
