Worth knowing: Keep it low-cost and personal. An expensive gift from a student can read as awkward rather than thoughtful.

How this list is made: only two hard rules — it stays within your budget and never shows what you asked to avoid. Everything else ranks rather than removes, each pick shows which of your answers it matched, and nobody pays to appear here. How GiftScene works
