If you're like basically any guy I know, you have no idea what to get that special girl in your life for Christmas; whether it be your significant other or your mother (no judgment). So you every year present with the classic gifts like the lame vanilla cupcake scented candle, the body lotions, and sprays that we all have plenty of and never end up using anyway, or the classic, "MOM" embellished necklace, as if your mother would actually ever wear it.

And to all my ladies reading this: I'm confident that all, if not most, of the items on this list would make you a very happy 21st century gal on Christmas morning.

So here are my ideas for the simple millennial girl should Christmas List:

1. Makeup


You can never go wrong with a nice eye shadow palette and a few of her favorite shades of lipstick. If you have money to spend, you can visit high end stores like Mac or Sephora. But if you're ballin' on a budget like myself, you can pick up basically all of the same quality items for a more affordable price at Ulta.

2. Cardigans/Sweaters


The favorite fall fashion trend. Do you even know of a girl who does not have a closet stocked full of fall fashion like oversized sweaters and cardigans in every color? This one is super simple and easy, just make sure you have the right size or at least include a gift receipt! Hit the mall and check out a few trendy stores like Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, and H&M!

3. Boots

The perfect gift. Fall is boot season, we all know this. A simple pair of black or brown boots can tie a whole outfit together, and who isn't happy with a nice new pair of boots. Keep track of BOGO sales at your friendly neighborhood Payless, especially around the holidays!

4. "5 for $27.50" At VS


What else has to be said about this one!? Victoria Secret is almost always having this sale, so as long as you're pickin' up what I'm puttin' down, you shouldn't have a problem with this one.

5. Concert Tickets

Who doesn't love a good concert? As long as you know what kind of music she's into - you're set!

6. Fuzzy Socks

Remember the disappointment every Christmas as kids, when we unwrapped a present that turned out to be socks? Well, that doesn't apply here anymore. Diamonds are not a girls best friend, fuzzy socks are. You can make your girls day by spending anywhere from $3-$10. You can find a cute pair at J.C Penny, Macy's, and just about any women's clothing stores you can even try the stores mentioned in #2.

7. Candles


I know, I know. I mentioned the "lame vanilla cupcake scented candle" in my intro. But a truth to that seemingly common Christmas present is true. Girls do love candles! Just spice up the scent variety a little bit and her room will smell like "Pumpkin Pecan Waffles", or "Girl Scout Cookie" for months. (Okay, that may be totally me, but it still applies!) Check out Bath & Body Works or Yankee Candle for awesome 3 wick scented candles like those!

9. Starbucks/Dunkin' Donuts Gift Card

Coffee is key to a happy girl. Actually, a happy human being in general. Knowing myself, I spend half my paycheck on coffee each morning. So the girl in your life will appreciate you feeding her addiction while simultaneously saving her wallet.

10. Sunglasses

A good pair of sunglasses is important. Girls typically buy a new pair each year. Kind of because we're indecisive, kind of because we lose them and they are never to be found again. Either way, splurging on a good pair of sunglasses will make a girl very happy. Any girl would love a pair of Ray Bans, but while that is the case, there are cheaper options that are just as nice.

11. Food

Is she happy? Feed her. Tired? Feed her. Angry? Feed her. Catching my drift? Gift cards to pretty much any food joint make perfectly acceptable gifts, especially for a broke and hungry college girl.

12. Jewelry


Now, I'm not talking typical jewelry because I guarantee whoever the lucky lady you'll be buying for is, she has tons of jewelry that looks exactly the same that just sits in her jewelry box for years. Put some thought into it, make it significant and it will mean a lot more. Or you can change it up and get her a watch. Michael Kors watches have been on the rise among young women over the past few years, although they are pricey, if you have the money to spend, look into it!

13. Scarves


You can never have to many as a girl. In the fall/winter I'm in a scarf every day. I probably have one to match every outfit. I get all mine form Charlotte Russe, but like I said, any of the other stores I've mentioned sale them too! I don't think you should have any problems with this one. Side note: Are we catching the drift that Charlotte Russe may be my favorite store? I urge you to check it out!

14. That Perfect Shade Of Nail Polish


Spring/Summer colors include bright, fun colors and pastels. Fall/Winter colors include dark purples, blues, and reds. Nail Polish is relatively cheap and you can find it literally anywhere. CVS, Rite Aid, Ulta, Target. Seriously, almost any store you walk into will have it, I promise. A lot of girls will agree with me that the best quality brand with the most diversity of colors is Essie, if that helps you narrow down your mass variety of options.

15. Netflix Account

Pay for her Netflix account and she'll be happy for the rest of her days, or until she finishes the episode of Grey's Anatomy where Derek dies. (Oops, spoiler.)

16. Blanket


Comfy blankets are a must for the colder weather, a girl can never have to many. Kohl's, Target, and J.C Penny are my go to for this!

17. A Nice Planner


Organization is important and with one semester coming to an end and a new one approaching soon after, look out for a nice planner you think she would like. They do get pricey, like the amazing Lily Pulizter ones. But you can get a nice one from places like Target or Staples.

18. Money

When in doubt, money is the way to go.

Hope this helps you on your holiday shopping journey! Merry Christmas!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
