This back-to-school gift guide will help college students prep for the new semester. Whether you're shopping for someone who's heading to college, high school, middle school, or even elementary school; we've got you covered with some of our favorite back-to-school gift ideas.

We know that getting ready for the new year means packing up everything you need to bring with you and making sure all of your dorm room essentials are in order before moving day rolls around. To help make this process easier for everyone on your list, we've highlighted some great gifts that even those who are still finishing up their last day of summer vacation can use if they're headed off to college soon!

13-inch or smaller laptop

The best laptop for college students is a 13-inch or smaller laptop. With a smaller screen, you'll be able to fit it into your backpack and carry it around campus without feeling like you're carrying a brick around with you.

In addition to being more portable, the smaller form factor also means there's less space for bulky components like cooling fans and large batteries which lead to longer battery life and better performance overall.

If you're looking for an affordable laptop that will handle everyday tasks like web browsing, streaming music/videos, writing papers or emailing professors then we recommend checking out our list of the best laptops under $500 below!

Desk lamp

There's no better place to start than with the desk lamp. It's the most versatile gift for students and is a staple in any dorm room or apartment. Use it to study, read, play video games, watch movies, draw pictures...the options are endless!

Charging station/power strip

A charging station is a great gift for college students. It can be used to charge multiple devices simultaneously and in one central location. This means you can keep your computer, phone, and any other devices charged while being used. A great feature of the charging station is that it has an alarm system that will notify you when your phone or tablet has been fully charged.

Neck pillow

Neck pillows are great for long flights or car rides, but they can be used for much more. You can use them to read in bed and watch TV or movies on your computer. They're also great for watching TV at a desk or even napping on the couch.

If you have someone in your life who loves to travel, this is a great gift idea!

Pillow with arm slots

Pillow with arm slots are a great gift for college students. It's comfortable, convenient, and it comes in a variety of colors. Pillow with arm slots make studying more comfortable because it's soft and keeps your arms from falling asleep when you sit at the desk for long periods of time. When buying a pillow for someone who already has everything else on their wish list, consider giving them this practical yet fun item!

Noise canceling headphones

Noise canceling headphones are a great gift for any student. They can help you study in peace, or allow you to focus on your music while traveling. These headphones use technology to cancel out the sounds around you, so they’re perfect for those who have trouble focusing when there are too many distractions around them. There are a lot of benefits that come with owning noise canceling headphones, including:

• Improved concentration and productivity because of less interruptions from outside noise.

• Higher quality sound as well as improved bass response through active circuitry (this also helps block low frequency noises that could otherwise interfere with your music).

Cork board/bulletin board

A cork board and a bulletin board are similar in that they are both used to hang notes, pictures, and other school-related items. However, a bulletin board is usually mounted on the wall while a cork board is placed on your desk or table.

A cork board or bulletin board can be used for many things such as posting pictures of family members, writing down important dates and deadlines, displaying artwork made by students in class lessons or assignments.

Laptop sleeve or case

A laptop sleeve or case is a great gift for any student. While we’ve all become accustomed to carrying our laptops around in their shiny boxes, the truth is that most laptops aren’t designed for heavy use on the go. A good sleeve can protect your computer from scratches and bumps, as well as helping it stay clean when you need to take it out of your backpack or messenger bag for class.

Look for a sleeve with padding at the bottom and corners so that your laptop doesn't get damaged if it's dropped on its side (this is especially important if you're buying one for someone who takes their laptop everywhere). Some sleeves have additional pockets on the outside where you can store cables or other small accessories like headphones and chargers. The best-quality models are made from durable materials like ballistic nylon or heavy canvas; these are less likely to wear down over time than cheaper vinyl alternatives.

Here are three examples of popular sleeve designs:

- A slim, padded sleeve that fits a laptop and nothing else. These are good for people who don't need to carry anything else besides their laptop.

- A wider sleeve with enough room for other small items like cables or headphones. This is a more versatile option that can be used in conjunction with a briefcase or backpack if you're out and about all day.

Wireless mouse

If you're looking for a gift that's easy to use and can be used with any computer, the Logitech Wireless Mouse is a good choice. It's wireless, so you don't have to worry about tangling cables or losing them. The mouse is small and portable, making it easy to take with you when traveling or studying at the library. It has an ergonomic design that will make using it comfortable even after hours of use—especially if your student has carpal tunnel syndrome!

Gift card for favorite website or store

If your child has a favorite place to shop or a website they love, give them the gift of access to it. Gift cards are easy to purchase and can be used on almost any website or in any store.

Your kid may have their own Spotify account, but if not, consider buying them one for back-to-school season. This is especially helpful if your child wants new music but doesn't want you paying for it!

Dorm safe

Dorm safes are a great gift for college students. Dorm safes are available in a wide range of sizes and styles, so you can choose one that matches the decor of your dorm room. The compact size makes it easy to find a place on your dresser or desk where you'll use it often.

Dorm safes are especially useful if you have a laptop computer, as they offer extra security from theft or damage caused by water spills and dust accumulation. A small safe can also hold important documents such as identification cards, credit cards, cash and checks--the things college students need to access regularly during their time away from home!

Tablet stand (Rakorra Stand)

The Rakorra Stand is a portable, foldable tablet stand that can hold your iPad, Kindle or other e-reader with ease. The stand is made of aluminum and silicone, which makes it lightweight but sturdy. The silicone base grips onto the surface you put it on while the flexible arm ensures that your device stays in place at any angle you need. Whether you’re reading in bed or at school or work, this tablet stand will make sure that you have an easy time viewing content on your device.

The Rakorra Stand comes in three colors: black/gray; white/gray; and silver/blue. It folds up easily for storage when not in use (which means no more worrying about finding places to prop up your iPad), making it easy to carry around wherever life takes you!

Mini fridge/compact refrigerator

For a dorm room, or for anyone who lives in a small apartment, or for people who travel frequently and want to avoid fast food, the mini fridge is the perfect gift. You can keep your lunch cold in it and you'll always have access to fresh water when you're on the road.

If you ask us, it's the most practical gift of all!
