So your son or daughter is going back to school and you want to get them something special. But what to buy? Why something they will use for school of course!

Here’s 10 gifts they’ll be thankful for:

Alarm Clock

Why? So they wake up in time for class.
Why the Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock Radio? It’s small, looks great, and is visible across the room.
Bike

Why? So they can easily get a around and make their classes on time, well, when they don’t sleep late.
Why the GMC Denali Road Bike? It’s light-weight and affordable.
Voice Recorder

Why? Because taking notes for hours on end can cause major crampage.
Why the Olympus VN-4100PC Digital Voice Recorder? Tons of great features, great memory, and uploadable to a PC.
Office Suite

Why? Chances are they will have to write something sometime or another or make a presentation.
Why Open Office? Because it’s everything Microsoft Office provides, but is free.
Lamp

Why? Because dorm rooms don’t always have the best lighting.
Why Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Black? It looks great and is flexible for those weird angles.
Guitar

Why? Hey, it’s better than them playing Guitar Hero all day, right?
Why Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar? It’s cheap and can easily be replaced if an accident happens.
Headphones

Why? Dorm halls are always loud, especially when trying to study. It’s much easier to concentrate when listening to music than 100 college students yelling.
Why V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds? They look great and have quality sound.
Computer

Why? Homework can be a hassle without the ease of a computer.
Why Apple iMac? Because iMacs simply kickass. That, and they handle graphics programs better than their PC counterparts. iMacs are an art students dream come true.
Cellphone

Why? For safety and the comfort of knowing you can contact them whenever… and so they can easily ask for money.
Why T-Mobile Sidekick? It’s cheaper than an iPhone and looks just as cool. Frequent texters love the QWERTY keyboard.
Laptop

Why? Dorm rooms are already crowded as it is. Also, some classrooms allow laptops for notetaking.
Why ASUS Eee PC 1000H 80G? It is small, but has enough power and space to run everything the average student needs.
