For a tech-savvy college student who wants more than an old-school looking glass, an LED light-up mirror makes a great useful gift, explains tech expert Erin Lawrence. Lawrence is an educator and YouTuber with over 80,000 subscribers who helps young adults wade through tons of tech to hone in on what’s worthwhile.

“I love the Ilios LED mirror in part because it offers both adjustable LED light and a rechargeable battery, which helps make it a little more sustainable,” she explains. It fits easily in any dorm corner, from bathroom to tabletop. Plus, it doubles as a ring light thanks to a convenient phone holder – so if the techie student is also social-media savvy (aren’t they all?!) they’ll find myriad uses for it.
