If you're thinking of bedding/linens, keep in mind that many colleges require extra long twin bedding, so that might be something worth considering. Most kids consider that "school supplies" and aren't thrilled with that anyway.
A "natural" time to get study & college app books is when the family goes to the bookstore & browses. This way the students & parents can have input before the choice is made--much better than having the books gather dust. "Tooth & Nail" is an interesting SAT vocabulary book that my S enjoyed--his sister didn't even open it. I admit S didn't open most of the college app books I purchased for him & D didn't open any of them at all (she just applied as a transfer to one school & was accepted there). In my next life, won't purchase such books for the kids & just let them use the resources at their college counseling center. Donated the books to the public library. <sigh>
