100 Presents for the College Student

From Space-Saving Desks to Instant Selfie Cameras

— December 24, 2016 — Lifestyle
With everything from space-saving desk accessories to robotic beer pong toys, these presents for the college student strike the perfect balance between work and play.

In terms of practical gift options, it is hard to go wrong with any product that makes it easier for weary students to hit the books. For example, noise-cancelling headphones such as the Linner earbuds are a perfect way for students to drown out distracting sounds. Another practical gift is the Volga Desk, which gives students an easy way to create a functional workspace in their dorm or bedroom.

Of course, not all presents for the college students need be so practical. On the other hand, gifts that encourage fun and relaxation are also great options for stressed-out students. Some party-ready gifts include slip-free bottle openers, instant selfie cameras and superior beer pong cups.
