Sunny鈥檚 Top Ten Gifts for College Students

December 4, 2025

By Sunny the Sunbird

Hey Sunbirds! It鈥檚 Sunny the Sunbird, reporting live from my online perch.

I鈥檝e been watching students hustle to classes, sip questionable amounts of coffee and carry way too many backpacks and tote bags. And since gift-giving season is upon us, I thought I鈥檇 help you out with a big, bright list of the top ten gifts every college student will love.

Because if anyone knows what students need, it鈥檚 me. I鈥檝e got the best vantage point on campus. I see everything from the court to the quad. Ready? Let鈥檚 fly!

Top 10 Gifts for College Students

  1. A Giant, Overly Fluffy Blanket
    Perfect for staying warm during chilly morning classes or cocooning yourself during finals. Bonus points if it鈥檚 Sunny-yellow. (Not required, but it is scientifically proven to increase happiness by 84%. Probably.)
     
  2. A Durable Water Bottle
    Preferably one that can survive being dropped down the stairs at least twice a week. Hydration is key, Sunbirds鈥攇low from the inside out!
     
  3. Noise-Canceling Headphones
    Because sometimes you need to study, and sometimes you need to pretend you鈥檙e studying while listening to your feel-good playlist. I won鈥檛 tell.
     
  4. Gift Cards to Their Favorite Local Spots
    Coffee shops, boba places and bookstores鈥攜ou can鈥檛 go wrong. Nothing says 鈥淚 care about you鈥 like enabling someone鈥檚 caffeine habits.
     
  5. The Ultimate Snack Stash
    Chips, chocolate, gummies, granola bars, emergency Goldfish, Top Ramen鈥攜ou name it. College students run on snacks the way I run on sunshine.
     
  6. A Cozy Hoodie
    Preferably one with 鈥溋窳悠抵辈モ across the front so they can rep their favorite university (and their favorite mascot). Hoodies are basically the official uniform of higher education, and you can even buy them online at the 榴莲视频直播 Bookshop and Sunbird Athletics Shop.
     
  7. A Laptop Stand or Desk Organizer
    Because a tidy workspace means a tidy mind. And a tidy mind means fewer moments of 鈥淲ait鈥here did I put the syllabus?鈥
     
  8. A Planner or Digital Calendar Subscription
    To keep track of assignments, practices, clubs, work and of course all your hangouts with me.
     
  9. A Portable Charger
    Nothing strikes fear into a student鈥檚 heart like the 鈥1% battery鈥 notification. A portable charger is like a tiny superhero in your backpack.
     
  10. SUNNY MERCH!
    Okay, okay鈥 I might be a little biased. But trust me鈥攚hether it鈥檚 stickers, shirts, plushies or hats, Sunny merch brings joy, confidence and a healthy dose of campus pride. Perfect for finals week, mood-boosting or spontaneous photo ops with yours truly.

Wrap-Up Time!

There you have it鈥擲unny鈥檚 hand-picked, warm-and-toasty list of the top gifts for college students. Whether you鈥檙e shopping for a friend, sibling, roommate or yourself (we support self-care here), any of these choices will brighten a Sunbird鈥檚 day.

And if you happen to choose all ten鈥 well, I won鈥檛 stop you.

Happy shopping and Merry Christmas, Sunbirds!
