I'm a current D2. I don't think it needs to be dental specific (like a tooth keychain or something silly like that). More practical gifts seem to be better like a contigo mug (http://www.amazon.com/Contigo-Autoseal-Stainless-Steel-Travel/dp/B00HZI5XBG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417880861&sr=8-2&keywords=contigo ), these are like the best mugs and they keep your coffee or drink warm for a really long time. You could get her a mini fan to take with her into her operatory clinic or simulation clinic. Our's get really hot and sometimes people bring in their own fans and put them on the counter next to them: something like this http://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Zone-CZ6C-Clip-On-White/dp/B000U9V47E/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1417880999&sr=8-14&keywords=small+fan .
Other than things like that just get her small things that will make her comfortable like fuzzy socks or better yet, buy things for you both that will create experiences. Examples would be concert tickets for you both, a trip somewhere, bed and breakfast for a night or weekend, etc.
hope some of this helps

Some quick ideas...

  • Make a budget, consider subscribing to /r/personalfinance/
  • Prepare an area at home where you can study, keep distractions away, keep papers organized, etc.
  • Understand and practice your commute to school
  • Laptop computer or iPad w/ keyboard and case
  • Backpack or bag to hold computer
  • Extra power adapter to keep in bag
  • Battery pack for phone for long days (Anker)
  • Dropbox (or somethign similiar) to keep your notes and things in sync across devices (speaking of which, do not immediately buy the books, most book PDFs can be found easily online)
  • Water thermos (zojirushi makes some nice ones)
  • Good pens, pencils, highlighters
  • Planner (Lilic Paper, recommended by /u/Babynobodyputs) or Calendar (digital or paper version, it doens't matter, just keep your long-term commitments in check)
  • Cheap black and white laser printer allowed me to easily print notes from home
  • Plan fun things do to with friends that are non-dentistry related (example: escape rooms are an easy thing to plan with some acquaintances/friends!)
  • Remember to have fun and enjoy dental school, in addition to getting good grades and becoming the best dentist you can! You'll make many long lasting friendships in school!
  • edit: spelling

I bought this one when it was on sale for about $20. If you find one like this I'd recommend it. The school has some cheap ones we use but I can never hear anything to well. With this stethoscope I can hear perfectly. Our school requires us to take BP every appointment and some people have been diagnosed/run to the emergency room because of high blood pressure. We work on a lot of poor people. I had one guy who had a BP of 220/130. He needed to go to the ER. I personally think they are good investments but everyone has a different opinion.

Thank you so much! Are there any resources to sort of avoid? Do you recommend at books like DAT Prep Plus by Kaplan Test Prep?

i have both of these! something i give kids and fellow students alike is the crocodile dentist game, which i loved as a kid. sadly nowadays i can only find the version you push the teeth down, while mine you extracted each tooth until he snapped
