My nephew starts college in a week or so, and I'd like to give him a suitable gift, preferably something reasonably practical. He's got a bike, a laptop, etc., but there must be other things that would be handy, and preferably not hugely expensive. He's studying design and engineering, don't know if that suggests anything.

Any thoughts?

Backup drive for the laptop could be very handy. It sucks to lose all your term work when your hard drive pooches just before projects are due…

Another possibility is a headset for his laptop, so he can use VOIP to chat to friends rather than paying long distance. (Only useful if he has high-speed internet, of course.)

That's a possibility, though I've never encountered a college network that had the bandwidth.
