Jaybird Reign
What better gift can you give your kid than the gift of health? The Jaybird Reign is a Fitness recovery band that familiarizes itself with the wearers’ health, heart rate variability (HRV) as well as sleep patterns, among other things. It displays their day-to-day activity and comes with an amazing 5 plus day battery and a lifetime waterproof warranty.
Kindle Paperwhite
Hardback books require a lot of space both during travel and while settling in a new dorm room. Book lovers know what a pain it is to leave their beloved books behind when moving to a new city/state to study. If your kid is a reader, this is the best gift you can get them. It’s compact and stores thousands of e-books and also has a built-in backlight for all those late-night reading sessions. It also supports audiobooks when paired with a Bluetooth device.
Oculus Rift S
A PC-powered virtual reality headset, the Oculus Rift comes complete with touch controllers and 5 in-built cameras for the ultimate VR experience. This will help your kid take a breather from all the additional college work and is the perfect stressbuster. It has amazing visuals and is designed to keep speed and comfort in mind.
Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera
People, especially kids, love creating and preserving memories. The Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera with zero ink printing technology can be a great choice for amateur photographers. It prints in under a minute and has an adhesive backing that makes it easier to paste on any surface while also saving all your photos for easy uploading.
eGift Cards
If you’re having a hard time deciding what to gift your kids, or simply wish to empower them to make their own buying decisions, eGift cards are the safest way to go. Tech-savvy kids understand and appreciate the importance of getting to choose a gift from a wide range of products and services. The gift is yours, the choice theirs. By getting them an egift card you ensure they get to choose something they really want. This makes the gifting experience all more beautiful.
Eero
Let’s face it, our lives would be much harder if we didn’t have access to WiFi. The first thing graduates do while checking out a dorm room or a new place is enquiring about the WiFi connection. Eero’s advanced system covers every corner of a space and can be easily installed. In case of problems with connectivity, you have troubleshooting options on the user-friendly app. What’s even better is that you get support from Eero’s team in less than 60 seconds.
Amazon Echo Dot
This device packs in a lot of features that go a long way in making everyday tasks easier. It is voice-controlled and has Alexa- the modern equivalent of a wing woman. It works well with other devices providing you with a hands-free experience. From ordering Ubers, pizzas, setting alarms, and checking the weather report, Alexa can just about do everything for you.
Clocky Alarm Clock
If your kid is a heavy sleeper and a professional snoozer then this is probably the most amusing gift you can get them. The Clocky Alarm Clock works like any other alarm clock and it will beep when it’s time to catch up. Here’s the catch, pun intended. After the 1st snooze cycle, Clocky jumps down and rolls around, making it harder to hit the snooze button the next time around. This fun, annoyingly persistent alarm clock will guarantee they wake up on time for lectures even when they’re away from home.
Nest Hello Smart WiFi Video Doorbell
Moving into an unknown neighborhood may seem terrifying and it’s always best to take precautions, especially when it comes to your kids. Here’s where the Nest Smart Doorbell comes in. It will alert you of someone’s presence outside your door even if they don’t ring the bell. Its full color and high-resolution video make it much easier to identify visitors. It streams around the clock and can be accessed when you’re not home too. You can use your home network to sync the doorbell to your smartphone or tablet.
