Of course some of the most popular gifts for guys this year will be tech gadgets. I pods have continued to increase in popularity and almost everyone has one that they listen to between classes (and sometimes during class) to keep themselves busy. An iPod dock is one of the most popular things that you can give to him. A dock is useful because many of them will charge his iPod while he is listening to it and synching it with the computer. Most of the newer ones also have high powered speakers that can be used to rock the dorm on Friday nights with all his friends. There are many different sizes and shapes to select from and there is also a very wide range of prices which can be great for the gift giver on a budget or for the person who wants to splurge on their college guy. Of course other accessories for the iPod and other similar devices are also very popular. Some of the most popular ones are headphones that allow you to listen to your favorite music, block out unwanted ambient sound, and look cool while doing it. An important thing to keep in mind is compatibility. Some older models may not work with the newest gadgets but there are also many adapters that can make older versions work with the latest accessories.

Another great gift idea is something that isn't necessarily new but can make something that is use often seem like new. A DC and DVD repair kit could be just what he wanted. He really loves that movie, but it just doesn't seem to play in his computer and DVD player anymore. But there is something simple you can do to fix it and this can be a great idea especially if your college guy isn't really the maintenance man on the street. He may not take great care of his stuff, but you can help him make it like new again with a simple gift. Another great thing about this gift is that it is rather inexpensive and can make lots of his favorite music and movies like new again.

Another really hot item this year, especially for students, is a shoulder bag they can use everyday. Many people say that shoulder bags are better for the back than other traditional backpack style carriers. Also known as messenger bags, this style is taking the college world by storm because of their practicality and stylish fit. A messenger bag can completely replace a backpack and often hold a laptop bag inside along with books. They are very easy to find online and there are some great sites like ebags.com and ae.com where you can find a great deal on a stylish statement for school.

Another gift that may be more of a hint for some people could be a webcam. Long distance communication has become more and more important to many people and a webcam is one of the ways that your college guy can "visit" home without actually coming home to do laundry. Technology will allow him to keep in touch with not only you but also friends and family that he has all over the world. There are many different models that you can find almost anywhere and for a wide range of prices. You should keep in mind that if you want them to be able to use the webcam with you that you need to also have one. This type of service can also be used along with something like VoIP internet phones so they can call you anytime they want to talk without having to pay overage fees for their cell phone or for long distance fees.

Another great gift for guys is a simple handheld game. One of the most popular is called Sudoku. This game is said to increase mental responsiveness and may even help them focus and concentrate better in school. Of course there will always be the paper version in the daily paper or little hobby books, but a handheld electronic version can be taken anywhere, anytime and provides a distraction whenever they need it. Anything that goes with a computer is also a great gift. One of the things that have become more and more desired and common is a wireless mouse and keyboard ensemble. He can use them while sitting in bed instead of up to his desk at all times. This allows a lot of flexibility for doing homework and for entertainment as well. Something as simple as a mouse and keyboard could make his life a lot easier and also may even prompt him to work on his term paper a day before he may have started before.

Holidays are also a great time to give gifts. Especially those holidays that he may not be able to come home and visit you but that meant something in his younger years. Easter can still be a lot of fun when you send him his own Easter basket filled with his favorite goodies and Easter treats. Easter is a great holiday to send something to your college guy and another great holiday that you will probably not see him is Halloween. You could even send him a funny mask or other Halloween item that may mean more to him than someone else.

Seasonal items are also very popular and can range greatly from person to person. A warm blanket as a surprise on a cold winter day can warm his heart and his body. Another gift that never fails to please is a gift basket. You can make a basket a theme and it could include a blanket, a mug, some hot chocolate mix, a scarf, some new socks, and anything else he may need for the cold weather. The great thing about gift baskets is that they can be personalized for each person and a personalized gift means much more than a generic one that anyone else may have gotten too. The gift, of course, should always reflect the person you are sending it to and have a little piece of the person sending it too. Keeping this in mind makes a gift more memorable and maybe even more appreciated. There are many different websites and places online where you can find gift baskets and customize them to the person you are sending the gift to. Some offer completely customized baskets where you can decide every item that is put in the basket and other will allow you to choose from a list of things that can be put into the basket. Another reason gift baskets are great is because they can be made to fit almost every budget and allow a great deal of flexibility for the gift giver.
