15 Trendy Back To School Gifts For College Students

Finding the perfect gift for a young adult entering (or returning to) college can be daunting. With the trends and fads evolving at an incredible pace, you want to ensure your purchase is functional, trendy, and reliable. So we've created the ultimate list of gift ideas for college students that they will absolutely love.

To get started, gaming is BIG in college. A new Playstation 5 or XBox One X will surely keep your child and their friends entertained for hours.

An iPad is a great investment for studying, taking class notes, and entertainment. In place of a TV, you can also consider the portable XGIMI Mogo Pro 1080p projector with Android TV and premium Harmon Kardon speakers. Alternatively, Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV stick both provide streaming entertainment. For music lovers, the UE Megablast and Amazon Echo produce premium sound, and both are powered by Alexa. And speaking of Alexa, you can fuel hours of late night studying with the Hamilton Beach Smart Coffee Maker powered by Alexa.

Keeping items safe in college is very important, so we advise investing in a secure backpack, like the Korin FlexPack or XD Design Bobby. For the gym, consider the BenjiLock, which uses digital fingerprints instead of mechanical locks to secure your valuables. And since we're on the subject of the gym, we love the AfterShokz bone conduction bluetooth headphones for working out, which protects the ears and has unbelievable sound.

To get around campus, a PEV is the way to go. The best folding electric scooter with longest distance and lightest weight on the market today is the Unagi Model One. We also love the foldable and long-range Segway Ninebot MAX, albeit much heavier than the Unagi.

With all this amazing technology, doesn't it make you think about going back to school?
