It is officially Christmas season! That means it's time for lots of love and giving, including gift giving. If you're wondering what your average college girl wants for Christmas, this list is a great source. These are some of the things we've wanted but can't afford, things we need but always forget to buy, or just things that would be useful in general.
1. Socks
We literally love socks so much. We don’t want plain socks. We want socks with unicorns or avocados on them. We want quirky socks that we can wear to be seen or not to be seen. Since it’s winter season we prefer them in crew sock form. We will also take fuzzy socks. Seriously, we love socks. Also our feet get cold sometimes.
2. Gift cards for food
We are broke college students. We like food, especially food that is not dorm food. Any food gift card will do, but probably not restaurants because we don’t really have time to sit down very often.
3. Chapstick
Eos, Burts Bees, actual Chapstick brand, really any type of chapstick is fine, those will always get used.
4. A Love Your Melon Beanie
We see girls around campus with them. They are adorable. They also donate half their proceeds to charity, so it’s a win win situation.
5. Card games/board games
College life can get boring sometimes. You become pretty cool when you have a new game to play with your friends.
6. Patagonia Sweatshirt
Again, we see everyone wearing them around campus. We try very hard to not want what everyone else has, but they look so warm and comfy and cozy and easy to style. Also their proceeds support good causes as well.
7. Sweatpants
They have a specific sweatpants in some stores called the dorm pant… those will work, or any type of loungewear honestly. It gets cold. Also on the weekends, if we aren’t out doing something, we stay inside and snuggle up with Netflix and some hot cocoa- who am I kidding, we do this nearly every night.
8. Rain jacket
This light waterproof jacket is even good for only slightly chilly days.
9. Flannels
Again, easy to style. They look good by themselves, with a vest, underneath a sweater, with a scarf… the possibilities are endless.
10. Vest
If we don’t have one, we want one. Again, partially because everyone else has one and partially because they’re super warm and cozy and add to any outfit.
11. Hats
Sometimes we don’t feel like washing our hair. Baseball hats are lifesavers and are only $2.97 at Walmart…
12. Hair ties
We lose those a lot. (this also applies to bobby pins but our hais almost never gets done so those aren’t as necessary).
13. Cash
This is a no brainer. If you don’t like giving cash you can also donate to our student accounts. All you need is our ID number which we will happily give to you. This is in fact an anytime gift. Feel free to surprise us.
14. Pictures
We probably have a wall of photos in our dorm because we miss you all very much. We also don’t really have time to print out pictures on our own.
15. Your love
Honestly being home for a month is enough. We love spending time with the family since we’ve been deprived of it for so long- just don’t annoy us too much. (the same rules apply for friends).
