School’s in Session
- TI Calculator: These calculators are the emblems of math, post-elementary school. In many schools, these graphing calculators are not only required, but also essential for the classroom for students in grades 7-12 and even into college. With the proper research and proper care, the calculator you choose will last you through those years and then some! If you’re unsure what model calculator your student may need, check out this calculator buying guide.
- Paperless Writing Tablet: Save paper, save the environment and become a green hero, all with this power free LCD tablet. It’s like the next generation of your favorite Etch-a-Sketch without the bulk. This tablet is not only sensitive to your fingernail’s touch, but any marks can be erased using a tool as small as a watch battery. Be a savvy environmentalist and replace your one-time-use notepads with this must-have!
- Microwave & Refrigerator Combo: If your student is beginning college and living in a dorm, you should consider investing in a microwave/fridge combo unit. This standalone gadget will save the space (that your student doesn’t have) while offering undeniable convenience. Would you look at that- instant meals just got easier! Tip: Be sure to keep an eye out for models that feature a single plug option to save you an outlet and to reduce cord-clutter.

Whether they want to show off their quirky style or a more traditional route, you are sure to find iPod/MP3 speakers that represent them well. Start the day with music with a multifunctional iPod speaker alarm clock that can be programmed to awaken even the laziest of students.
