Students are in school to study, learn, and prepare themselves for a successful future. We all know that socializing, relaxing, and exploring various recreational activities to maintain an acceptable entertainment level are often just as important to students as cramming through calculus 101. Shopping for students can be tricky due to style preferences and the ubiquitous challenge of choosing gifts that are actually used by the recipient and not tossed in the closet for posterity or the end of semester clean out donation to Goodwill. Spending hours hunching over textbooks highlighting, notating, and reviewing material commonly leads to horrendous posture. Laying textbooks and tablets flat on a desk promotes an unnatural forward lean, which alone is bad for the student’s back, neck, and shoulder; but it also seems to welcome using the non-dominant hand to support the head, which often leads to the head lying directly on the desk while the student takes a nap. One way to help prevent studying in an unhealthy posture is to use a textbook holder to support and elevate books and tablets to a more comfortable height. Raising textbooks off the desk allows students to sit up straight (just like momma said!) and study with a better posture. Improved posture has been shown to increase energy, promote better focus and concentration, and decrease fatigue. Plus, using a textbook holder, to elevate textbooks off the desk can promote better organization and de-clutter precious workspaces. There are many types of textbook holders – some are just for desktops while some work in bed or on the couch. Many simple textbook holders hold books directly on the desktop at a more comfortable viewing angle. A more useful textbook holder has the ability to adjust the book’s viewing angle and raise textbooks off the desk to a more comfortable height. Outside of textbooks, one of the most commonly used tools to foster educational development is a laptop computer. Students use laptops everywhere – sitting at a desk, lounging on the couch, and lying in bed. Compact laptop desks can be excellent gifts for students since they tend to make computing more comfortable and convenient. There are many types of compact laptop desks designed for use in a variety of situations. The best compact laptop desks are adjustable and tend to work everywhere that students use their laptops. Laptop desks are great gifts because they can cool laptops, especially if the desk’s surface is made of metal, has built in holes for ventilation or has cooling fans. Adjustable compact laptop desks are useful because they can elevate laptops off your lap, which makes it much more comfortable since you can move your legs around without upsetting your laptop and also because elevating screens can prevent hunching, back and neck pain.
