It's already November, and now Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. Some people have already commenced their holiday shopping.
However, for the many of us who are not quite the early birds with Christmas shopping, here are some gift ideas that college girls, in particular, would be eternally grateful to receive.
1. Cash.
You can never go wrong with cold hard cash. No need to buy those Vanilla Visa gift cards with those pesky fees. Besides, there are still some merchants that do not accept credit or debit cards or have a minimum charge required to use a card. Cash is a gift that you can give anybody so that they can use it however they wish.
2. Tuition and fees.
You can also not go wrong by providing us with some much needed financial aid. The fewer student loans that we will have to pay back after we finally graduate, the better.
3. Apple Music subscription.
Buying every single song you want to have in your iTunes library is so 2015. For $4.99 a month for students with a valid school email address, you can enjoy millions of songs for no additional cost.
4. Starbucks gift cards.
We have to stay awake for our 8 am classes and our all-nighters somehow. Starbucks is fantastic, especially with their seasonal flavors like chestnut praline and pumpkin spice, but it can also become a rather expensive habit.
5. Blankets.
Blankets are an inexpensive and comfortable way to help keep us warm on those cold and snowy nights where our regular bedsheets just might not be warm enough for us.
6. Tile.
If you are like me and misplace things such as keys rather often, then you need Tile in your life. With four different types to choose from, you will certainly be able to find one that bests fit your needs. These lifesavers come in single and multipacks.
7. Quarters (and probably dimes and nickels as well).
Whether we want to grab a quick drink from a vending machine or we need to do a few loads of laundry, we will need to have some change on hand in order to pay for that.
8. Food.
Whether you decide to buy some snacks and groceries for us or even just adding some money to our meal cards, each and every contribution to our food budget will be appreciated. Ideally, we would like to have more than just ramen in our daily diet.
9. Makeup.
For those days where we want to make some more effort to look a little bit nicer, we could always use some fresh makeup. Even something as simple as eyeshadow or mascara will do.
10. Amazon Gift Cards.
You can buy anything on Amazon, including some college textbooks, and with their Prime membership being 50% off for students with a valid email address, you bet we are going to want to take full advantage of it while we can.
