What to Look For in Back to School Gifts for College Students

• Material durability: Canvas and leather hold up far better than polyester over four-plus years of daily use, so check material specs before buying.
• Carry capacity and compartments: A bag without a dedicated laptop sleeve or wet pocket will frustrate a student quickly, so confirm interior layout fits their routine.
• Engravability: Not every item engraves cleanly; laser-etched leather and coated canvas hold detail permanently without cracking or fading with use.
