Gifts don't need to be bought. Make him something to remember you by or give him something he'll remember you by. That's not cheesy, it says that he is a great friend and that you'll miss him. It doesn't have to be alot. Something simple will send him the message.

here are some ideas:
a blanket
ipod/accessories
food for his dorm
a scooter (if its a big campus)
cloths
shoes-flip flops come in handy for gross showers
some magnets of where he is going (ex, rutgers)
school materials such as paper and pens
itunes gift cards
a watch to be on time to classes
some signed or not signed posters
a wallet
key chains
hats
toiletries, like shower soap and shampoo
books
umbrellas
rain boots
ipod docks
webcams
shoulder bags
portable electronics charger
mini safe to put valuables in
calendar
alarm clock
a planner, (like an agenda)
pillows
plants (some people like them...)

i hope this list helps you!

Make him a CD with all of his favorite songs, or songs that remind you of him.

Make him one of those tie blankets to take with him.

Get him some new books! :)

Or, just go to Ikea and look for some really cool dorm room accessories. They have some really neat stuff.

Well if you know anything about the kind of things he's into, you can use that kind of information to help.

Since he's leaving you want it to be something touching, something for him to remember you everyday. If you have any inside jokes or things between just you and him, go by that and find something related, you both can laugh about it or you can use the card to explain the meaning behind it!

Know something he really loves to eat? Bake him something special to take with him :-)

Maybe get him a going away basket. Put some little goodies inside:) If you make him something yummy yourself you can put that in it, and you could also put that special insider gift inside, and maybe you could find something that he could put up in his dorm, preferrably something useful, or something he could have in his dorm, use alot, and think about you at the same time :)


I really don't know :P
Just some ideas....


Hope it helps a little bit :)
