Top 10 Student Gifts

It’s December and officially the silly season has begun, so what to buy for the starving student on your gift list? Well, most students are technologically switched on and current about cool gadgetry, so to impress you may have to think outside the square. These are 10 of the most krunk items I’ve come across this year.

• The Alfred Dunhill Biometric Wallet: It’s made of carbon fibre, is ultra lightweight, nearly indestructible and it auto locks and can only be opened by its owner’s personal touch. It’s true! Not only that, it is alarmed to alert your mobile to any uninvited entry.
• Wavetooth: We know that students live super busy lives and may need to stay in touch while swimming or showering so someone has come up with the clever idea of a waterproof bluetooth headset.
• DigiGolf Glove: Speaking of waterproof this baby is also resistant to inclement weather and the golf player on your xmas list will absolutely love it! A glove measures your grip - clever.
• Outcast: For every student with an iPod but not the equipment to crank out the music loud and proud there is Outcast. It’s a weather resistant, wireless, speaker dock rich multidirectional stereo sound, and it looks really cool too. Did I mention its wireless? Yep, with a ten hour rechargeable battery pack so you can take it to the beach, or skiing.

Those five really grabbed my attention, other great gift ideas within the practical realm of day to day life:

• Grooming: Wet/dry shavers and epilators for men or women really reduces the time on daily grooming and will surely be appreciated by the any busy student (without a beard).
• Handheld Attack DVR: This gadget is a personal safety wizard. When activated it sets off a blinding light, a piercing scream and it records everything on video.
• XBOX 360 Kinect: Just for fun. No remote controls and gets you off your butt while playing video games.
• Clocky Rolling Alarm: To exhausted to get out of bed? This crazy clock will wake you up, it doesn’t just ring it moves and torments you!
• Dictaphone or a phone that records: It may seem like simple technology but reminders about scheduling, appointments, classes and essay due dates are an information asset that most students need and appreciate.
