With Christmas right around the corner, many parents are probably struggling with ideas on what to get their college student. For those who can't give their children a small loan of a million dollars, here are some nice ideas that are sure to brighten their holiday spirits.

1. Headphones

It's tough to survive college without a handy pair of headphones. They help us stay shut out from the world when walking to class and attempting to study for massive exams.

2. A New Backpack

They may not be too excited about it, but it never hurts to have a new backpack in case our trusty one fails us one day. Plus, you could fill it with snacks to take back to college once the break is over!

3. A Time Capsule

There's nothing like great memories made while in college, so why not get your student a handy way to keep those memories forever? That way they can look back at all the amazing times they've had when graduation rolls around.

4. Customized Pillows

Has your child gone to college out of state? Do they really love their pet? Either way, a customized pillow is sure to bring them happiness, and allow them to keep a small piece of home with them as they traverse through life.

5. A Bluetooth Speaker

Have a child who is way into music? A Bluetooth speaker is a handy way to let them blast their tunes while on the go and be the DJ of the party.
