My friend is a senior in college. What is a practical gift I can buy him?
I usually get people a bottle of their favorite liquor or case of beer for their birthday because I know that they will use it, I know that they like alcohol, and I know that it will save them a trip to the liquor store. But I’m tired of that, what’s another creative, practical gift that I know that a college student would use?

If he’s moving away, I’d try not to get him something that might be difficult or burdensome to move. An Ikea gift card comes to mind, or maybe a gift card to a store where he can buy interview clothes.
The largest capacity thumb drive that you can afford. I can’t get enough of them.
A webcam so you can stay in touch more (if they are moving away), or
a pair of cheap walkie-talkies if he lives close (guys love walkies, not matter what age).
Really nice sheets, or good pillows.
A good cookbook. I highly recomend cooksillstrated.com. Their cookbooks are amazing. He will use it for life and always remember who gave it to him.
a box of porn and a bottle of whiskey
I would get him a D.S.S.I. ink pen that it also a digital camcorder with sound so he can record his classes instead of taking notes. check them out http://www.dssi.cc/dssi_spy_pen.html The secret is that D.S.S.I. sells them for cheap on ebay and they are the best brand for the money.
shoot… some brew and a whole lot of strippers jk.. well it is his last year to party hardy before going into the real world… A practical gift would be a box of condoms… seriously, you should get him a digital picture frame so he can look at all the good times he had in college w his friends…
An interview suit if your budget allows. Probably the most practical.
