With the holiday season quickly approaching, things are about to get hectic. Between shopping, traveling, and family gatherings, the last thing we all need is to be stumped on what to get our loved ones. Here is a list of a couple of reasonable gifts that most college students would accept with open arms:
1. Socks
Whether they are fuzzy or regular, it never seems like college students have enough socks. This could be due to the lack of laundry doing.
2. Coffee
We drink a lot of coffee in college. And coffee isn't always cheap. This is a gift that we can guarantee will be put to good use when we return to school after break.
3. Subscriptions
Whether it is a magazine, gift box or gym membership, subscriptions are a great gift because they keep on giving. This is a gift that extends over time and won't be used all at once.
4. Blankets
Blankets are always accepted, especially for those of us who attend schools in cold-weather states. Every time we curl up with that new cozy throw we will think of the person who gave it to us.
5. Candles (or a Scentsy for those in dorms)
Things get...smelly in college. Candles and Scentsys are a great way for college kids to unwind and relax. Gift a holiday scented candle to ensure the college kid in your life stays in the merry spirit all through January.
6. Gift cards
Okay, so you don't trust us with your cold hard cash. Gift cards are a great way to ensure college students are eating full meals and also getting things that they need.
7. Books
Informative books are great for college students. Also look for how-to's or cook books to gift.
8. Organizational tools
Usually in college we are living in pretty tight spaces. Tools for organization are always helpful and put to great use.
9. Portable phone charger or charging case
Give this gift and your college student will never have an excuse for not answering the phone again.
10. A massage
The ultimate form of relaxation would be more than happily accepted by any college student.
11. Groupons
Giving Groupons can give a college student anything from a nice dinner to a workout package. Groupons are great because they are specific and can be bought based on geographic location.
