Gift for a college student?

[ffutures]

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?

Not sure it's the most useful thing for a new student though.
