Gifts for College Freshmen: 11 Fun & Practical Gift Ideas for Any College-bound Kid by Marci Fair

Dorm living changes how college students live. If you're trying to think of a gift idea for a college-bound student, I have some great ideas for you.

Here are some gift ideas for kids heading off to college from a mom who has been there, done that:

• A terry bath wrap (monogrammed!), flip flops for the shower and a shower caddy to carry shampoo and soaps.

• A new set of headphone earbuds and an music gift card.

• Those dorms are tight, so Command hooks and under-bed organizers are great.

• Laundry bags are a necessity.

• Try a gift card to The Container Store!

• How about a clip-on reading light so they do not disturb their roommate late at night while reading a How To Survive Freshman Year book from you!
