Instant Camera
Remember those cheesy cameras in the 90s where we used to take photos and weren’t quite sure how they were going to turn out until you developed the roll? How about the thrill of taking a Polaroid and watching the photo come out, debating whether you need to shake to develop faster (don’t do it!)? Well guess what: instant cameras are back in fashion! Get her an instant camera so she’ll have plenty of pictures to hang up in her dorm.
Belt Bags
On that note, guess what else is back in fashion? Whether you call them fanny packs, bum bags, or belt bags, it’s not just your dad who loves them anymore. Now she’ll have an appreciation for the practicality of a totally hands-free belt bag. No more straining her shoulder with tote bags or being weighed down by a backpack. Have her pair her trendy belt bag with white sneakers, and she’ll be the coolest girl on campus.
Portable Charger
When she’s running around campus, the last thing she wants to see is her phone running low on battery. She won’t want to carry around a charging cord with her in hopes of finding an outlet somewhere and having to stay next to her phone the whole time. Instead, get her a portable charger. It’s a game changer for on-the-go!
Noise Canceling Headphones
With noise canceling headphones, she’ll be able to block out the world. She needs to study. She needs total concentration. Opt. for noise canceling headphones with smart noise cancellation. Also look for Bluetooth capability so she won’t need to worry about pesky wires getting tangled.
Coffee Maker
Whether she’s chugging energy drinks or downing her third cup of coffee for the day, get her a simple drip coffee maker. You don’t need to get her anything too fancy like an espresso machine – a drip coffee machine will do just fine so she can brew in the wee hours without waking up her roomies.
Electric Kettle
If tea is more her style, get her an electric kettle. With an electric kettle, all she’ll need to do is add water and plug it into an outlet. This type of kettle comes in handy when she wants to drink hot tea or make a quick meal like instant noodles.
Laptop Cooling Pad
Some days, she’s just going to want to do her homework from the comfort of her bed or couch. Make sure she has a laptop cooling pad to keep her laptop from overheating. With a laptop cooling pad, according to Linux Hint, a quality cooling pad can help lower the temperature of your laptop on average, anywhere from about 14 to 30 degrees.
