courtesy Filson A duffel bag is easier to stow than a suitcase. This one is by Filson. Luggage may seem like a great graduation gift, but for the kid going off to college it has real drawbacks. Any parent who has moved a teen into a tiny dorm room knows there is usually no place for suitcases. The better gift is a set of duffle bags that can be stuffed under a bed when not in use.
