There are any number of things that are good for the college admissions process that can make good gifts. First, dress clothes -- most HS students don't have a good suit or business casual clothing or formal wool overcoat, so a few outfits would be great for college interviews and should have some use for senior yr events and in college. Second, a digital camera is a must. They'll want it for jr/senior prom and other senior events and they can use it for college tours. Computer accessories like speakers, flashdrives, ipod speakers etc. are great and they can enjoy them at home and then take them to college. Ipods are always good, but they don't necessarily last forever so I wouldn't necessarily expect that they will take it to college 1.5 yrs later because it may not work anymore. Jewelry for women and nice watches for men always make good gifts. While these don't have anything to do with the college admissions process, many students don't have these accessories and with college expenses, it's not the first thing that students or parents think to buy. However, a nice accessory can come in handy for years for admissions interviews, senior events, and throughout college with various internship interviews/events because it can make a regular outfit appear more formal.
