Best Gifts For College Students
Reward Hard Work With The Right Gift
It can be difficult buying presents for college students. They have busy schedules and not a lot of space, so most housewares are either unnecessary or simply not an option. We like to give college students gifts that will make their lives simpler and more enjoyable so that they can keep studying hard, get good jobs, and buy us really great gifts someday.
In most cases, shipping and taxes are additional. Prices and items are verified at time of publication, but are subject to change over time.

Senseo Coffee Machine
Since running out to Starbucks everyday is not exactly cost-effective or a time saver, the convenient system from Senseo makes brewing a single cup of coffee as easy as pressing a button. This system is perfect even for dorms without kitchens because there is no messy clean up: simply toss the used pod and rinse the cup. The Senseo Holiday Gift Pack, shown at right, even comes with 2 bags of Senseo pods, 2 pod canisters to store the pods, and a thermal travel mug, so that co-eds will have no reason not to show up alert on the first day back from winter break.

Back to Basics Egg and Muffin Toaster
College students are notorious for skipping breakfast or grabbing leftover pizza slices on-the-go. This handy all-in-one egg cooker and toaster eliminates the need for bad choices. Within four minutes, your favorite collegian can have a brain-fueling poached egg and english muffin sandwich. The toaster slots also accommodate croissants, bagels and hamburger buns; the egg cooker can whip up eggs that are poached, scrambled and hard-cooked. There’s even a slot to warm sausage or canadian bacon—all in one tiny footprint that can fit just about anywhere a hot curlers will. You’ll feel better knowing they’re not hitting the breakfast menu at the local fast food joint.
