Re: ME reference manual
The Machinery's Handbook is a timeless standard with tons of data. It is most useful in a manufacturing environment but also useful for designers. Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers is another comprehensive reference. I have an older edition and continue to use it at work on a semi-regular basis.

While they may not get much use in the short term (freshman student) I think either (or both) of these books would be a wonderful gift and a useful reference for years.
