Practical gifts for students that won't break the bank.
You
don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a back-to-school gift. There
are plenty of inexpensive things every student needs that are
critically important -- whether they're practical, interesting or just
entertaining. Here are a handful of great gifts for the dorm and the
classroom that cost less than 50 bucks.

Time management is crucial. And for less than $40, this elegant
alarm clock offers an innovative spin on the basic concept of waking up
in the morning. Thirty minutes before the scheduled alarm time, the
light gradually starts increasing in brightness until it reaches a
customizable max at the scheduled time and starts beeping with
increasing intensity to finish the task of waking you up.

For about one-third of the price of a pair of AirPods, these
wireless Bluetooth earbuds sound better than you'd expect. They offer
solid wireless performance and 5 hours of battery life, and come with a
compact charging case that delivers an extra five charges.

Help your student protect their most treasured possession: their phone.
After
being mercilessly mocked by colleagues for carrying around my new
iPhone XS Max without a case, I buckled to the pressure and tried out a
few. The Catalyst was my favorite of the lot. It looks cool, is
comfortable to hold, has a nifty rotating mute switch and a passthrough
for connecting to a charger -- and, as I can testify after at least a
half dozen drops, it does its job.
Amazon
Give the gift of power. This RAVPower charger is the ultimate
wall wart: It's got a regular USB charger for phones and other small
gadgets, and the USB-C PD (power delivery) port has enough juice to
charge up full-size laptops. We've charged up HP Spectres and new
MacBook Airs to capacity in under 2 hours with this puppy. Just be sure
to snag a nice 2-meter USB-C cable if you don't already have one.

Rocketbook's line of reusable notebooks make it easy to send
notes and other jottings to your email or preferred cloud service
(Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack and Evernote). I prefer the Everlast
model, which has straightforward dot grid paper, to the Fusion line,
which adds a handful of calendar and to-do templates.
On the one
hand, using the Everlast notebook is just marginally more convenient
than taking a photo of any piece of paper and sending it to yourself.
But the notebook has a few nice usability touches -- you can mark an
icon at the bottom of the page to route notes to up to seven different
destinations -- and the sustainability angle is compelling. Included
with the notebook is a nice Pilot FriXion pen (which doubles as an
eraser) and a microfiber cloth that effectively wipes pages clean to be
used again.
Rocketbook is offering a back to school discount between Aug. 30 and Sept. 3. Enter the code B2S2019 at checkout to get 25% off an order of $25 or more.

For the lucky student who already has a TV, the Roku Streaming
Stick will transform it into a full-featured streaming device. This
particular model does not support 4K and HDR video -- you'll need the step-up Plus model for that -- but it still has the best search interface around, and the remote will also control the TV's volume and power.
Hydro Flask
Modern students are aware of the benefits of staying hydrated,
and many are discerning about the container they use. Hydro Flask
bottles keep liquids cool for up to 24 hours and hot drinks warm up to
12 hours. And they're tough enough to survive the rigors of campus
life.
Amazon
Sometimes you just need to switch off the screen and fight your
battles the old-fashioned way -- with plastic miniatures on a tabletop
map. OK, "fighting" is an exaggeration here: This game is more about
strategic trading and building, but once you get the hang of it, it's
fun and engaging for kids, students and full-fledged adults alike.
Black & Decker
OK, technically, this costs $51.49 -- but I'm willing to bend the
rules for a 60-piece kit that has every tool a student might need,
whether they're living on or off campus. You get an 8-volt drill, a
hammer, a level, a tape measure and a bunch of wrenches and screwdrivers
-- all neatly packed into a handy carrying case.

It's not always easy for students to get to the grocery store or
the mall, and an Uber gift card can help ease the burden of
transportation. The company offers both digital and physical cards in
denominations from $10 to $500, and you can give the gift of a ride or
food delivery (through the Uber Eats service).
“Nuke Bizzle” faces 22 years in prison after brazenly bragging about an identity-theft campaign in his music video, “EDD.” Rapper Fontrell Antonio Baines, who goes by the stage name “Nuke Bizzle,” made his first appearance in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles on Friday after being charged with fraudulently applying for more than $1.2 million in jobless benefits under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Central District of California. Allegedly, Baines was able to defraud the California Employment Development Department (EDD) into distributing CARES Act relief payments under the Pandemic Employment Assistance (PUA) provision, the statement from the U.S. Attorney’s office said. The PUA is intended to aid independent contractors who aren’t typically eligible for unemployment benefits. Prosecutors claimed he...
Boseman, who skyrocketed to international fame in the role of King T'Challa in the 2018 blockbuster, died after a four-year battle with colon cancer. Actor Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed the Black Panther on the big screen, died Friday after a four-year battle with cancer, his family said in a statement on social media. He was 43. Boseman had not spoken about his bout with cancer, and his death came as a shock to many . He died at his home in the Los Angeles area with his family by his side. The actor was diagnosed with colon cancer about four years ago, according to a statement from his family. Boseman was a mainstay of the Black Panther franchise and also appeared in Avengers and Captain America movies. He also played Black icons Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall and James Brown in feature films. “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” his family said in the statement. ...
