It seems unreal that this fall semester of college has already passed. The year as a whole has completely flown by, and Christmas is quickly approaching. For those that also tend to procrastinate Christmas shopping as I do, here are some last-minute stocking stuffers that are perfect for any college student!
1. Fuzzy socks
Have you ever heard a girl claim, “I don’t love fuzzy socks”? I am sure you have not, because those girls simply do not exist. Fuzzy socks are such a simple gift and are perfect for anyone!
2. Gift cards to local restaurants
Gift cards to restaurants are great, because they allow us to finally eat somewhere other than the Union every once in awhile without feeling guilty for spending unnecessary money.
3. Gloves
Because no one should have to deal with frozen hands when carrying their daily Starbucks cup of coffee to class!
4. Wallflowers
Dorms are often filled with such an odd assortment of smells. While wax melters are prohibited, wallflowers are not, and they can get any dorm room smelling great in no time!
5. Portable chargers
These handy devices are super useful on those busy days with little time to charge your phone or to get you through those long football games after a few hours of tailgating.
6. Adhesive phone cardholder
Just about everything in college requires the use of a student ID. IDs are used to scan into class, enter the dorm, purchase food, attend games, enter certain buildings, and the list continues. I certainly would have lost my ID by now without my convenient little cardholder that sticks right to the back of my phone case to hold all of my cards!
7. Lint roller
While I cannot say that I lint roll my black leggings before class each day like I probably should, a lint roller definitely comes in handy in those occasional interviews and other formal settings in which I actually need to care about my appearance.
8. Subscription to Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime is a college essential for sure. The two-day shipping comes in handy for ordering books and other supplies or when you wait until the last minute to order everything like me. For college students, the first six months are free, and it is only $5.49 per month after!
9. Command hooks
You never realize just how versatile and essential these little things are until living in a dorm room!
10. Small umbrella
Nothing is worse than coming out of class and seeing that it randomly decided to rain and having to walk to your next location while getting drenched. This is why having a small umbrella that easily fits into a backpack pocket is so necessary!
11. Super long charger cord
Because regular charger cords are just not long enough 9/10 times.
12. Good pens
After taking copious amounts of notes in each class, additional large amounts of notes for studying, and possibly writing notes to yourself as daily reminders, you are more than likely to find yourself going through an excessive amount of pens. While pens, Sharpies, etc. might seem like such a simple gift, they are actually so practical!
