The first gifts on this page are the ones to lead with for most students: a laptop, everyday earbuds, a sports watch, a tablet, a photo printer and a pocket camera, each from a different brand. Below them the guide runs through study kit, headphones and speakers, fitness trackers, cameras and a few things for downtime, such as a streaming stick and a games controller. When choosing, think about how they study and how they unwind. A laptop or tablet suits someone who writes a lot or reads on the move; noise-cancelling headphones help in a busy library; a fitness tracker suits a regular at the gym or on the running track. Check which phone they use, because some earbuds and watches work best with one system.
