The college years are some of the most memorable ones in a person's life, which is why we've put together 40 Gifts for College Students that we believe will help make their college years, and the "real world" afterward, even more memorable.
One notable is the the 'Kyan,' a compact portable kickstand for a phone, tablet, or another mobile device, that uses magnets to ensure the stability of the device. Small enough to fit into a pocket or backpack, this phone stand folds into a square.
This guide of gifts for college students includes a variety of useful items to help them get organized and add some flair to their space. From desk accessories and wall décor to kitchen appliances and storage solutions, this list has it all in one place.
