It is often difficult to find a gift for a college aged guy. Typically college guys just want money so they can go out and buy a DVD, video game, or other things. There is one thing college guys don't want people purchasing for them and that's clothing. The styles in college are dramatically different from high school and since they aren't into the business work yet, a suit and tie isn't a great gift for a college guy. Here are some great gifts for college guys.

Start by going to the web site Gifts-911.com. This site has tons of ideas for gifts for every age range. If the college guy is graduating, you can even find gift ideas for graduation. One great idea from this web site is to give him a gas or electric scooter. Since college guys typically have to walk all over campus to get to class, a gas or electric scooter is the ideal gift to help him get from one side of the campus to the other in a short amount of time. There are several options to choose from, here are some styles to take a look at:

• Boreem Tankman - This gas powered scooter offers maximum performance with a 1.7 hp engine. You can go up to 28 mph with this heavy duty scooter.
