Are you looking for some fun and unique gifts for the college student in your life? Move in day for college dorms are already here and time is ticking. Care packages full of snacks and useful items are always welcome but wouldn’t you like to give something more personal? Our sister site, Phototownship, has hundreds of Artists selling unique art and craft based on your favorite photos. Here are our top five Going Away to College Gifts:

Personalized Photo Soap ($5.50 USD)

This personalized soap is great for the budding environmentalist, or as more personal addition to the traditional care package. Simply upload a photo and message, and it will be placed into an 5.5 ounce oval-top rectangle soap bar. All bars are eco-friendly and made from a 100% vegetable base.

Completely Customizable Digital Cartoon ($10.00 USD)

Photo Gift by: lollyxbeans

This is simply the funnest gift because it’s completely customizable and up to you. For just $10.00 (plus $5.00 for each additional subject), lollyxbeans will create a digital picture or portrait of whatever you’d like; whether it’s the recipient’s favorite character, family, best friend, or herself as a cartoon. We recommend having the digital cartoon printed on Tshirt for an extra $19.99 dollars.

Theme Card with Portrait ($30 USD)

Photo Gift by: thefabian

This gift does double duty. It is a superb greeting card, but also nice enough to be tacked to the dorm room wall as a special reminder of home all year round. You can even add text and collage details that reflect the student’s personality, likes, hobbies, goals, etc.. The final artwork comes in a digital file so you can print it yourself as a card or as any other format/size you want.

Digital Pet Portrait ($30 USD)

Photo Gift by: sketchi

The perfect gift for the animal lover. Sketchi will hand-draw your pet and capture their personality as well as their likeness. You just provide a clear picture of your pet, and you’re set to go. If you would like a more exaggerated, fun version of your pet, be sure to mention it in your order. Sketchi can draw any animal, no matter how obscure. We recommend having the pet portrait printed on canvas for an extra $35 dollars.

Customized Splashed Colors Portrait (Oil & Acrylic $800 USD)

Photo Product and Gift by: iamgabz

Okay, this one is pricey, but we had to include it because we think any college student would love an original oil and acrylic portrait stylized like this. The result is texture-rich and full of beautiful colors and contrast. The work is done in on a 20x20cms gallery wrapped canvas, with colors continuing on the sides of the frame so no staples show and no frame is needed. This is an incredible gift that will last a lifetime.
