Find the perfect gift suggestion for those who are heading back to school

A selection of unique, gift ideas for those getting ready for school his year. Whether you are staying home for school or packing off to a dorm, some of these will probably make the experience that much more enjoyable. And, good luck with those grades!


Huion Kamvas 13 Pen Display Tablet

Could this be the perfect size pen display tablet? I think so. Thin enough to fit neatly next to any 13 – 15.6 laptop and light enough to not overload your backpack. A tablet is only handy if you can have it with you when you need it, and this is light enough to keep on board at all times.

The low power consumption design enables Kamvas 13 to be powered by a laptop directly. To power on the pen display, users only need to connect Kamvas 13 to a laptop that runs on 5 volts or above via a USB cable. And don’t worry about power for your pen. It’s battery-free.

With the optional USB-C to USB-C cable, you can get power, data, and video all from that one single cable. Talk about convenient.

The Kamvas 13 continues the convenience theme with 8 programmable press keys along the rim. With pen in one hand and the other on the keys, you’ll fly through your designs.

Three products from Multitasky that will make the trip to school more fun and productive:

Creator On-Screen Kit – Multi-charging Self-powered Ring Light

This Creator On-Screen Kit – Multi-charging Self-powered Ring Light is ideal for those who want to do YouTube videos, but are limited for space at school. Actually, three tools in one, this kit give you a ring light so those closeups look great, no matter where you need to film.

The almost 12″ diameter ring light evenly lights your face and can be set to three different color temperatures, based on the mood of your video. It’s attached to a plastic base with an extendable column that surprisingly rises to perfectly film anyone of average height. (I’m 5’9″ in this photo for reference.) Just as surprising,

the whole unit folds down into one piece that fits in a desk drawer. (12″ diameter – under 3″ high)

The other components included are a 3 cord USB device that powers your phone and the ring light simultaneously. And, a USB powerbank that doubles as a hand-warmer (that gets really warm!) You’ll probably want to keep both of these in your bag or backpack this coming winter.

Portable & Foldable Laptop Stand

It’s been proven that your neck will feel better if your laptop/Chromebook monitor is at eye level. Unfortunately, set flat on your desk, you are forced to stare down. With the Multitasky Portable & Foldable Laptop Stand, that’ll be a thing of the past.

Depending on your typing preference, you can raise your screen a little or a lot. Takes only seconds to set up and folds flat and compact for travel. Folded, it’s only 10.23 in x 2.36 in (260 mm x 60 mm). Made from ABS and aluminum alloy, it only weighs 8.28 oz. (0.23kg).

I’ve also found that it works great as a large three-ring binder stand. Having the binder elevated, it makes it easy to flip pages when used as a quick reference tool.

Compressible Metallic Book Stand

Too many files? Too many projects or classes happening simultaneously? Want everything handy without taking up your whole desk? This Compressible Metallic Book Stand holds files, papers, books, three-ring binders…etc. While it compresses down to less than 1-1/2″ when not in use, it expands big enough to even hold heavy duty 1-1/2″ ring binders. These two ring binders showh here are stuffed full of paper and weigh a lot, but the book stand holds them securely. Available in gold or pink gold. For more information, see their website:

CORD ORGANIZER CLIPS

Every dorm room has the potential to have cords strewn all over the place. With these cord organizers, you can at least keep your cords straight and available.

The Cable Clips are made of 100% silicone, which is non-toxic, non-magnetic, anti-static, and flexible. Once you insert the cable into a slot, it won’t fall out easily.
Suitable for holding cables less than 6mm such as computer cables, audio cables, USB charging cables, and network cables.
The double-faced adhesive is very firm and long-lasting and works well in smooth and clean the surface, such as marble, plastic, wood, glass, metal, and rubber.

CASEOWL Fully Foldable Tablet and Phone Holder

This is the sturdiest, yet most portable phone and or tablet stand I’ve owned. Folds down to about the size of your cellphone for storage or transport, yet opens instantly and holds its position nicely.

The aluminum alloy support rod and weighted base make this stand weighted enough to hold a tablet and use the touchscreen, no worry any wobble at all.

 The whole pad back and the cradle dock and the bottom of this cell phone stand are fully covered by non-slip and non-scrape silicone. Convenient to Use: The hook width of the cradle dock is 18 mm, which is wide enough to hold your device (thickness< 0.7in) with a heavy case on.
