With Christmas season fast approaching, it’s time to begin building holiday shopping lists tailored for important people in your life. If your gift list includes a college student this year, there’s a good chance that Costco has everything you need.
Here are some fun and practical gift ideas for college students.
Sony Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones
- Price: $349.99
A college dorm isn’t exactly the most quiet place on a campus, and any student up late studying will need to be able to focus on their work rather than whatever is happening in the hallway, or even in their own dorm room. That’s why these wireless headphones are just what they need. Not only are they stylish, they’re also noise cancelling, voice and touch controlled and easy to pair with any electronic device. The included $30 credit for Apple Music is a nice bonus.
Dorm Room Snack Box
- Price: $39.99
When most people think of Costco, they think of bulk grocery items — like this massive dorm room snack box, which has 68 snack favorites inside, including instant ramen, mac and cheese and a large assortment of name-brand sweet and salty treats. It’s the perfect gift for a long-studying student who pulls all-nighters or doesn’t have the cash to constantly hit the cafeteria.
SentrySafe Digital Security Safe
- Price: $94.99
While this may not be the most sentimental holiday gift possible, any college student who has to share their room (and all of their possessions) would likely appreciate a literal safe space for their valuables. This 0.98-cubic-foot digital safe features two locking bolts, solid-stainless construction and a battery-powered digital locking system, all of which will allow your college student to keep their favorite things from being overly “borrowed” by roommates and fellow dorm students.
HappyLight Duo 2-In-1 Light Therapy & Task Desk Lamp
- Price: $63.99
This desk lamp offers more than just illumination for late-night studies — it provides full-spectrum, UV-free light, has daylight, warm and cool settings with seven different brightness levels and an adjustable gooseneck. It even comes with a USB charging port for phones and other electronic devices.
