2016 Gift Guide for College Guys

College is a period of learning balance. There's balance between fun on the weekends and studying during the week. There's balance between being independent and learning to build your support network. There's balance between following your passions and branching out. While these suggestions won't help every college guy achieve this balance, I've done my best to suggest gift ideas that reflect the many sides of college life. Make sure to check out the other gift guides as well like my guide for lovers of coffee, beer, and wine or the guide for outdoorsmen.
