    Shopping, in general, is an obstacle in itself. But shopping for a college student is an entirely different beast. You spend weeks bookmarking items to purchase for their new dorm or apartment, yet somehow end up forgetting something they need. No amount of pre-check-in reading will prepare you for this experience—trust us. Bed-in-a-bag and instant oatmeal are essential, but we guarantee there are a few other important knick-knacks you left off the Amazon registry

    Whether a freshman or super senior, college looks a bit different for students this year—and likely will remain this way for the foreseeable future. To help ease the pain, we compiled a list of classic college goods (bed sheets, desk supplies, etc.) and pandemic essentials (phone sanitizer, masks, etc.) your student will actually use. Ahead, the 42 best gifts to get the student on your list.
