Gift Ideas For Students Away At College

By Elba Fenwick


Certainly going off to college is an exciting time for students, but that doesn't mean that they don't suffer from some homesickness from time to time. To bring a little cheer to their busy college life, it's nice to send a care package now and then. Consider the following gift suggestions that are ideal for university students.

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.

The Chocolate Pizza Company also has created a special treat just for college students. The College Survival Kit is a box packed with delicious treats. The box include a mini dark chocolate pizza, a slice of milk chocolate pizza, chocolate-covered Oreo cookies, a chocolate and caramel drumstick and the perfect chocolate pizza accompaniment, Peanut Butter Wings. These wings are formed by mixing potato chips and peanut butter and then coating this sweet and salty mixture in 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.

When your child goes away to college for the first time, it is a great idea to give them some practical gifts. They will be completely responsible for their laundry, so a great present would be to fill a foldable laundry hamper with all the detergents, stain treater and fabric softener they will need. In addition, write down some helpful laundry tips and include a big bag filled with 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.
