College Student Spring Refresh
Do you have a college student who needs a spring refresh? As we get to the midpoint of the winter semester, many students are starting to feel the crush of exams, late-night study sessions, and too many hours spent in a classroom or school cafeteria. Now is the perfect time to share some fun gifts and reminders with your college kid and help set them up for a strong finish.

Spring College Student Refresh
Get Outside
There are many days of cold weather left in the season, but some nice hints of spring are teasing us. Don’t waste the early days of spring being stuck inside scrolling through social media. Instead, grab your pickleball paddles, a cute spring-time paddle bag and all the gear so you can head outside and have some friendly competition.
The Pickler Purple Pickleball Accessory Set from The Pretty Pickleball Company includes stylish and functional essentials for every pickleball player. Featuring a matching paddle cover, towel, and keychain, this set adds a pop of personality to your game while keeping your gear protected and ready to play.
Spend Time Exercising
Whether your college student loves to frequent the gym or just walk around the block, a new pair of tennis shoes or workout pants may be just the thing needed to spark some fresh motivation. Bonus points if you provide a pair of leggings that have pockets!
The Sculptive Full-Length Pocket Legging by Tasc Performance offers a sleek, supportive fit with moisture-wicking, breathable fabric. Designed for comfort and performance, these leggings feature a high-rise waistband and convenient side pockets, making them perfect for workouts or everyday wear.
Eat Healthy
It’s tough to eat healthy during college – especially if you spend most of your meals eating in a college cafeteria or fast food drive-through between classes, work and schedules. Provide some bento-style lunch box containers so your student can pack a snack lunch and get a quick healthy boost between classes and afternoon activities. Think about easy foods that can be packed and taken on the go.
- Nuts
- Berries
- Cheese blocks
- Hard salami or sausage
- Olives
- Grapes
Don’t forget to add a toothpick to help with the snacks!
Give the Gift of Sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep can be tricky when your college student is sleeping in a dorm. Drown out the many noises of the crowded dorm or apartment with a simple sound machine so your student can get the sleep needed to function through the busy days of the semester.
Cover up distracting noises with a choice of 20 sounds, (10) fan sounds, and (10) white noise variants (white, pink, and brown). Use the LectroFan to mask disruptive noise while you’re sleeping or working. They’re all unique, digitally synthesized, and truly non-looping.
Living in a dorm or apartment often involves cold floors and time back and forth visiting friends down the hall. Walk around in comfort with some new house shoes.
The San Ysidro Slide in Blushed by Fleks Footwear combines effortless style with all-day comfort. Designed with a sleek, minimalist look and a supportive footbed, these slides are perfect for everyday wear, whether you’re at home or on the go.
All these ideas are great but don’t forget the number one thing college students need: A simple reminder that they are loved, valued, and missed! A simple call, text or gift card to buy an iced coffee or donut will never be forgotten.
