I just bought a printer/scanner/memory card reader for under $115 at Costco. Made no sense for a separate scanner unless one needs very high quality.

Duffel/small wheeled bag for overnight trips (one that will fit on a plane) and toiletries bag (useful for visits and college). Prepaid credit card (USAA offers them for teens) so students can pay for apps without parental involvement AND can use the cards when on the road for meals, sweatshirts or unexpected expenses.

Unsexy gifts: Big 12-month wipe-off calendar got lots of use at our house and is under $20. Used it just for college stuff. Big plastic storage boxes for those accordion files and other senior year detritus. 9x12 envelopes. Stamps.
