Great Gifts for The College Bound
Any College-Bound High School Grad Would Love These 3 Great Gifts!
Know a college bound high school grad? Then I know some great gifts he or she just can't live without. It's just weeks away before your new college student will be on his or her way to the dorm. Changes are, they don't have everything they need (and they might not even know what they need to begin with). These three gifts can help.
Sheets
Dorms come with a bed. They don't usually come with sheets. And even if they did come with sheets, who in their right mind wants to sleep on sheets some other college student has used? But do you think students are thinking about bedding when they're planning for their trip? Probably not. That's what makes sheet sets such great gifts for college bound students.
And sheet sets don't have to be boring. From luxury to sports-orientated knit sheets you can find a set that matches the personality of the student you're buying for. And, best yet, this gift doesn't have to break the bank.
An Emergency Stash
You know those piggy banks that have an "in" slot but no "out" opening? The ones you have to break if you want to access the stash stored inside? They make great gifts for college students.
Buy one of these little treasures, throw a $50 (or $20 or $100) in it and write "Break In Emergency Only" across it in permanent marker. Encourage your gift recipient to add his or her own cash when they have some to spare. Then, if an emergency strikes, they can smash that sucker and get the cash out. Every college student runs into a cash emergency at least once. Your gift can help them out of it.
A Mini-Fridge
It's for soda, okay - not beer! Seriously, dorms don't have refrigerators. When you need a soda or an iced tea at midnight during a cram session you want something that's cold. Not a room-temp can from the closet. A mini-fridge is the perfect way to have cold drinks on hand without paying vending machine prices or running to the store every time thirst strikes.
So there you have it. Show them how much you care and how proud you are with one of these three great gifts that any college student is sure to love.
