[Graybush]

Buying for students can be a challenge, and finding the perfect gift can be as stressful as a final exam at the crack of dawn!

Finishing out my 4th year of college, here are some items I cant live without:
RTIC water bottle: Similar to the one linked but cheaper, and in my experience it works great: https://www.rticcoolers.com/shop/drinkware/water-bottles/26oz-Water-Bottle-Graphite
RTIC food canister: Nice to pack a hot (or cold) meal in the morning and have it still hot by dinner time is nice for those long haul days: https://www.rticcoolers.com/shop/food/Food-Container-17oz-Stainless
Anker Bluetooth speaker: Pretty self explanatory here: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Soundcore-Bluetooth-Anker-Waterproof/dp/B07CSPLGV9/ref=dp_ob_title_wld
APC Surge Protector: College power should be stable, but it isnt always: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012YLTR6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Water filter: If you're like me, municipal water tastes terrible, a water filter is one of my most used items: https://www.amazon.com/PUR-Dispenser-Chlorine-Provides-Filtered/dp/B00IK5A4U8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1540919551&sr=8-8&keywords=water+filter
First aid kit: Especially if you have a kitchen, its going to happen eventually: https://www.amazon.com/d/First-Aid-Kits/Johnson-All-Purpose-Portable-Emergency-Travel/B01M09COIF/ref=sr_1_8_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1540919664&sr=8-8&keywords=first%2Baid%2Bkit&th=1

My personal wish list, because I have a kitchen in my on campus apartment, is almost entirely lodge cast iron. Cant live without it.

I sent my brother off with about a 6 month supply of Red Bull, since he got into pre-med and we all knew he was never going to sleep again.

Maybe a padlock/lock to stop pesky invaders from stealing things that aren't theirs? I personally know of some who steal other peoples belongings and sold them for quick cash.

However true that might be, I think we should look at the world as though there aren't any bad habits. For my submission, I thought this would make for a nice addition to any persons stationary.

This set of markers

would be helpful if you tend to color code stuff, if you're into graphic design or illustrations or simply a designer.

Here's a sketchbook

to holster all those thoughts.

I'm an architect and the best thing I could have is stationary(among other things in my arsenal) at my disposal to get those ideas out into the real world. I could include charging cables and what not but it's a good idea to have a charging cable specific to your handset. Using generic cables often tends to degrade the battery of a phone.

I thought I'd bring this back

in again
