Sears and others sell compact kits with screwdriver, pliers, wrench, tape measure, assorted nails & screws, etc., for about $20-30. Absolutely invaluable to a new college student. Often the first thing they have to do is buy shelving or similar stuff for their dorm rooms. Kit needs to be small and flat to fit under the bed or in a corner.
My wife and I teach music privately to high school students, and each year we have given each of the graduating seniors a toolkit, and they love it.
Good luck!
