If you are
the parent to a college-bound student, there are a number of great gifts you
can give to your son or daughter that can help them through their
newly-independent university life. The goal for the gifts is to blend form with
functionality so that anything you buy will appeal to your new college student
while still being fully functional. Here is a look at some great gift ideas for
those college-bound individuals.
No.1-
Emergency Kit. Not many college students are usually prepared for the
unexpected and usually don't have things like bandaids, gauze, and first aid
cream on hand. It's pretty inevitable that they will eventually have a need for
one or all of these items. Getting them a first aid kit will help alleviate
this need, plus there are a number of kits available that aren't in those tacky
red boxes but a nice leather or canvas bag instead.
No.2-
Bedding and Bath Accessories. Your new college student will be in need of a few
towels, sheets, pillows, and blankets to outfit their dorm room. Typically,
dorm room beds are XL Twin beds which require special sheets. If you aren't
sure what colors or styles they would like, opt for a gift card to Bed, Bath,
& Beyond, Target, or even Walmart.
No.3- Toiletries.
A gift basket full of back up toiletries will be an extremely fun and
functional gift, especially once your teen realizes how expensive laundry
detergent, shampoo, and conditioner can run. Your basket can include: soap,
face wash, shaving cream, tooth paste, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen,
tissues, and mouthwash.
No.4-
Prepaid Credit Cards. While your new student may not be able to get a credit
card yet, that's not such a bad thing. Opting for a prepaid credit card will
give your teen the convenience and security of using plastic to pay for
transactions, without the fear of accruing debt or interest payments. Because
your teen will only be able to spend the amount that has been placed on the
cared, there is no way it can affect credit negatively or get them in over
their head before they have a good concept of financial responsibility.
