1. Blueberry oil serum – the Bybi serum is magic and can help to protect skin from aging effects of the blue light from our screens. It is a wonderful, eco friendly beauty product that is made from the by-products of the juicing industry, using seeds that would otherwise be thrown away. It would make a perfect gift, especially for beauty lovers, for students as they are often looking at a screen for a huge portion of the day.

12. A game to play together – to unwind for some screen free time! Often when we have free time we like to spend it online, even when we have spent time working online throughout the day. This way, we often miss out on human connection and social interaction, which is so beneficial for us! A gift of a game to play together is such a special idea and makes a great ice breaker for your college student when making friends. Time together playing games by candlelight is so special!
