Now that Noah has been in college for a few years I know way more about what a college guy would want for Christmas. In fact, Noah let me pick his brain so I could create a list of the best Christmas gifts for college guys.
It’s important to factor in the living situation. If he is in a college dorm room he has a lot less space than if he is in an apartment. If they you aren’t sure what the living situation is assume that if they are a freshman that they live in the dorms.

Best Christmas Gifts for College Guys
Jabra Elite 7 Pro
Jabra is a great brand and you can expect their products to least for years. We’ve had many of their products over the years and they hold up really well over time and they are comfortable in your ear. Thanks to the adjustable Active Noise Cancellation the sound is excellent. Having the noise cancellation can also help students concentrate when getting their work done. Buy on Amazon.
Shower Speaker
If the college student you are shopping for has their own apartment a shower speaker is a great gift. My kids have the SKYWING Soundace S8 5W Shower Speaker. At $18 it’s a super affordable that college boys will appreciate.
EcoTank ET-2850 Printer
Having their own printer will make their life easier. I personally recommend the EcoTank ET-2850 it’s an innovative cartridge-free printer that uses high-capacity, easily refillable ink tanks. So college won’t have to worry about running out of ink or having to spend money they don’t have on cartridges. The ET-2850 has great print quality, auto-duplex printing, a high-resolution flatbed scanner, and a convenient color display making it the perfect printer. Buy on Amazon.
Alarm Clock
Most young men use their cell phones for an alarm clock but these are not always the best choice. Get them a smart alarm clock that also offers wireless charging. Check out the options on Amazon.
Portable Charger
The MyCharge Hub Max will quickly add hours of battery life to your device like a cell phone because it’s a lightening charger. It has two built in cables including an iPhone charger and an Android charger, plus a usb port that allows you to charge anything else. Why get a wimpy charger when you can have this much better phone charger. $79.99 on Amazon.
Water Bottle
There’s only two water bottles I recommend the Owala or the Hydroflask. Both are insulated stainless steel, don’t sweat, and BPA free.
Duffel Bag or Weekender Bag
College kids do travel a little here in there, whether headed somewhere fun for spring break or just home for the weekend. They often don’t need much so a duffel bag will easily do the trick.
Leatherman
A nice Leatherman makes a great gift and they last forever. Plus, you are guaranteed that the receiver will definitely end up using it. Pick out one that has all the basic stuff like a screw driver, flat head, bottle opener, tweezers, a knife, scissors, and pliers. These come in all different sizes, all types of styles, and different price points. Shop all the styles on Amazon.
Gift Cards
You cannot go wrong giving a gift card as long as you stick to places you know are in the town their school is in. If you are unsure what kind of stores are near them just get them a iTunes, Amazon, or a Visa gift card.
HALO Bolt
The HALO BOLT can jump start a full-sized car or SUV. It can also inflate your tires with the built in air compressor with a universal nozzle with interchangeable nozzles that allow you to inflate other things like balls, air mattresses, and more! It also has two USB ports to charge your devices and a bright LED floodlight that will help you incase you need to change a tire in the dark. It’s small too, you can see it in Noah’s hand in the photo while we jump start his car with it. $89.98 on Amazon.
College Care Packages
For a more practical gift you could create your own version of a college care package with a variety of items. Items could include Ramen noodles, school supplies, water bottle, fuzzy socks, stress ball or stress dough, snacks, candy, and anything else you want to throw in.
College Merch
Get them some t-shirts or a hoodie to the school they attend. You are guaranteed to wear them since that’s their school.
