By Nandi Howard · Updated October 23, 2020

School is now in session and while it seems as if summer has come and gone, that’s because it did. While some colleges started the madness this week, other students have a few more days to relax before going to 8 a.m. classes and studying for finals take over their lives.

And who likes to go back to their dorm (or apartment) empty-handed? It can be hard shopping for a millennial in 2019, but every college student loves a luxe gift or two. From streetwear finds like graphic backpacks and sneakers to sleek indie brands like Ban.do and Cult Gaia, these items are perfect for any college student.
