Students love to wear reading glasses for men in an oversized, angular shape paired with a neutral color palette. He’ll give off a studious vibe when he wears rustic round frames in an earth-tone color or a classic square shape with a daring pattern.
Chic reading glasses for women include soft square frames with juicy three-color gradients and cat-eye glasses with dreamy iridescence. If no magnification is necessary, give the student a pair of bluelight glasses. Bluelight eyewear features the same head-turning styles to match new outfits.

Every young adult will appreciate a new pair of headphones or wireless earbuds. For today’s college students, they’re an essential accessory for working out or walking to class. They can use them to review course material or keep busy with a podcast. They’re also useful for meditating or relaxing.
How do you decide between over-ear headphones or wireless earbuds? For most students, it’s all about personal preference. Some young adults like the style of colorful, oversized headphones. They’re big enough that they’re challenging to lose yet portable enough to put in a backpack or tote bag. In a pinch, they’re also easy to hold on to on the go. Some headphones are considered luxury items. Noise-canceling headphones will keep the sound out during exam crams and study sessions. If you’re shopping for a sleek and discreet pair of wireless earbuds, go for high quality.
Every dorm room should smell good and feel stress-free. A compact and stylish essential oil diffuser will help college students set the mood in their space. Compact diffusers are best for a desk or nightstand, especially when it blends in with decorative accents. A stone-inspired porcelain diffuser looks luxurious as it disperses scents across the room. If they like a faux wood look, sleek and stylish designs are perfect for a bookshelf or table. Some oil diffusers light up in your choice of colors or look like an LED candle.
Choose a model that gets good reviews and matches the student’s style. These days, you can even pick from diffusers with an electric power cord or one with a USB adapter. Whether they like a classic color scheme or a modern look, you’ll find a lightweight and portable diffuser to fit their personality and go with their dorm room.
College students need to stay hydrated. A water bottle that stays cold and travels easily will ensure they never miss a beat. An insulated, stainless steel water bottle helps keep liquids cool for hours. The best designs have a wide mouth for easy drinking and a secure lid to prevent spills.
There are water bottles with built-in straws that make excellent companions for class time or study time. A larger water bottle with a handle can help keep them hydrated all day, but there’s also room on the gift list for glass bottles. These vessels are chic and won’t transfer flavor, but their lack of insulation makes them best for short trips. Try a tapered bottle if you’re looking for a satisfying combination of design and function. These small-mouth, insulated vessels are easy to carry and look impeccably stylish. Shop for a classic color or a fun ombre design. A top-notch water bottle sips as great as it looks.
A compact laptop is a must-have for taking notes and completing projects. Once the student has the perfect device for school, you can outfit them with a lap desk for easier studying and research.
