When my (now sophomore) college kid left us last year, I had done all the research and prep and shopping. She had everything she could possibly need… or so I thought.

Her roommate had a calendar whiteboard, and she did not. It did not matter that I’d had a duvet cover custom-made for her, or that she had a bulletin board, or that she even had coordinating throw pillows. No. She needed a calendar whiteboard. And I never bought her one, because I am the worst. I think she ended up buying one for herself.

Have a college student? Learn from my mistake. (This is a great graduation gift, too, of course.) Right now Amazon is offering this 16X20-Inches Aluminum Framed Magnetic Dry-Erase Calendar, with a Marker and Two Magnets for just $5.49. It is an Add-On, so you’ll need to toss it in with another order, but this is not only its lowest price ever, it’s about a third of what it typically goes for. Trust me, you won’t beat this price anytime soon. (The only thing I can find that comes close is those magnetic board that aren’t framed or rigid, plus you need a large metal surface to put them on.)

Am I buying a couple? Yeah, I learned my lesson.
