So you've probably clicked on this article because you're a guy looking to buy a nice Christmas present for the girl in your life, obviously. She may be a girlfriend, just a friend, or maybe even a neighbor but you're totally clueless on where to start and that's OK. This article will help you out on giving you ideas on what to get her for Christmas.
As a college student, you probably don't have a lot of money so I will start listing your options from cheapest to most expensive. That way you don't have to sort away from the most expensive things you obviously can't afford.
1. Servant For A Day
This is a great idea because every girl would love an extra hand around campus once in a while. Ideas can include to carry her books or do her laundry while she can focus on studying for her exams. Maybe do small things such as bring her an umbrella if it unexpectedly rains or bring her a snack to class if she's hungry.
2. Artwork
We're not all artistic but maybe try creating a Christmas card with a few little drawings. You can try to create something bigger than that but be aware of your own ability. But in the end at least you tried and that counts!
3. Ornament
Similar to the artwork thing but ornaments can literally be painted with one color and then wrote on with Sharpie!
4. Candy
7-11, Family Dollar, and Walmart can be the hookup when it comes to big bags of cheap candy. Especially after Halloween, candy can go on sale and can come in cute Christmas packaging that you can give.
5. Meal
A homemade meal that's nice and warm to come home to would be a tasty treat for her. If you're not really a big chef, maybe you can take her to a sit-down restaurant or even to a somewhat nice fast-food joint if she's craving salty food.
6. Accessories
Diamonds are a girl's best friend but on a college budget let's be a little more realistic. Chain stores like Claire's or Icing can give good quality pieces like earrings and necklaces at a more reasonable price that you can give.
7. Makeup
Makeup isn't the cheapest thing ever especially when some of the most popular palettes are over $40. However, large general retailers such as Target and Walmart offer more inexpensive brand options. If you don't know about the quality of buying complicated things like eyeshadow, contour kits, and other things you don't know about, you can always just buy things such as brushes and sponges that can assist with makeup.
These are just a few gift ideas you can use to give to the girl in your life. I know its hard to set aside money when you can barely afford food besides Ramen, but some girls are worth it! Happy Holidays!
