I think you're on the wrong track entirely. What a college junior needs is:
FUN!
MOVIE TICKETS!
EXTENDED CURFEWS!
UGLY SWEATERS!
Anything, *anything* but college stuff.

In my opinion, a scanner/3-hole punch/SAT prep book combo under the Christmas tree would be the WORST present ever.

Those aren't gifts, they're school materials. Christmas gifts should reflect a person's value to you, not their college plans.

I cannot say strongly enough:

KEEP COLLEGE OUT OF YOUR POOR KID'S CHRISTMAS. Please. Dear God please.
