As Thanksgiving celebrations end and the holiday season rolls in, people begin to stress about Christmas presents for their friends this year. As a fellow college student, I know that shopping for us can be hard but I also have some Christmas shopping tricks up my sleeve.

1. A Black NorthFace Jacket

You may think that this is "basic" but NorthFace jackets hold up for a long time and are incredibly warm. I tried going the cheap route by purchasing an off-brand jacket a year ago and all it does is shed fur. The nice thing about these jackets is that they do not shed anywhere as much fur and are very comfortable.

2. A Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Many colleges have a radio in their bathroom but sometimes we want to play whatever we want through our own speaker. With a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, we can keep our phone far enough from the water to keep it safe and the speaker close enough to the water to hear it.

3. Gift Cards

Every girl loves money and a good way to give it in a gift without feeling lazy is by getting a gift card to a place they love. I know that I personally love gift cards to places like Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, Victoria's Secret, Target, and more.

4. Fuzzy Socks

Fuzzy socks are amazing, especially during the cold months. Many girls aren't picky about brands and will love fuzzy socks from Walmart but personally, I love the brand Cabin Socks (I also love regular Walmart fuzzy socks). The aloe-infused fuzzy socks are especially nice during the winter to help with the dry skin during the cold months.

5. Spotify Premium Subscription

Personally, with my major, I am not currently able to get a job so I had to cut off my Spotify premium membership which was crucial to my shower jams. Getting able to pick my songs and not having ads are very important to me and other girls I know so I think a lot of girls would appreciate the $5 a month subscription. Also, for a limited time, the subscription comes with a Hulu account!

6. Games

I love playing games with my friends in my dorm room but they are a little pricey to all buy myself so I know I would love to receive some. Some popular (and fun) games are Cards against Humanity, Phase 10, Yahtzee, Monopoly, and more!

Overall, I think your friend will love whatever you choose to get them and will realise how much love and thought you put into it. Have fun holiday shopping!
