The holidays are right around the corner, which means the time left for buying gifts for friends and loved ones is ticking away. I think we all can agree that shopping for a boyfriend is one of the most daunting tasks. As finals are underway, and we are trying to cram every last ounce of knowledge into our brain, we don’t have time to search every men’s store for the perfect present. Before you start to panic, take a deep breath and a study break with these 10 easy gift ideas.     

1. Gloves and a scarf. I know this sounds basic, but many college guys do not have gloves and a scarf that they can wear with dressier clothes. Finding a pair of dressy gloves and a scarf will make that ice skating date you have in Millennium Park much more enjoyable and warmer for your significant other.  

2. Burt's Bees Men’s product line. Need a stocking stuffer idea? Burt's Bees has a great line of men’s products including body wash and aftershave cream that smell amazing. Not only can you get these at a drugstore, but they are also great for guys with sensitive or acne prone skin.  

3. Art of Shaving. Does your guy pride over his perfectly groomed beard or facial hair? Hit up Art of Shaving to splurge on a new shaving kit for your man.  

4. Total sports fanatic? Treat your guy to tickets to see his favorite team over winter break. Not only is this a thoughtful gift, but it will be a fun date for the two of you as well.  

5. Winter boots. Most guys are not fond of winter boots because of their bulky appearance. Consider a pair of Timberlands or checking out the selection at JCrew. Students also receive 15 percent off at JCrew with a valid student ID.  

6. Martini shaker or bartender set. Is your guy really into starting Friday Happy Hour off with a bang? Consider getting him a martini shaker or bartender set. You could even throw in a cocktail recipe book. Who knows, you may score some great drinks out of the deal.    

7. Reading fanatic? Consider getting him a Kindle or Nook. This is also handy for future events because you could always give him a gift card to buy more books on his device.

8. Does your guy love outdoor sports? Consider giving him high quality sunglasses that will protect his eyes and help him look good while being active. Check out Oakley or Sunglass Hut.  

9. Want to give him a trip down memory lane? If you are like me, and not gifted with crafting abilities, consider making him an album on Shutterfly.com. All you need to do is upload pictures and choose the book style.  

10. Does your man like to cook, but his apartment lacks cookware? Head over to Bed Bath & Beyond to get all the kitchen utensils you can dream of. Plus, they will take multiple coupons, and even expired store coupons.       

P.S. To my boyfriend reading this -- no, these are not your gifts. I would not make it that easy for you to figure out.
