13 Gifts College Students Want This Year
Her Campus

The most wonderful time of the year is quickly approaching us. Thanksgiving and Black Friday has already passed so just think Christmas is next! It's the time of the year where everyone loves to give and no matter who you are we all like to receive.

For college students this means no homework, sleeping in late and taking as many naps as we want, eating all of our favorite Christmas food, cuddling up by the fire in our fuzzy socks and warm blankets and most of all getting those presents we've been waiting for!

So if you're buying for a college student and just don't know what to get here are 13 Christmas gifts all college students would love to receive this Christmas.

1. Money

I can promise you no matter the college student they will love to get money. Whether it goes toward food, shopping, a movie night or paying bills they will be thankful for it.

2. Gift Cards

If you think money isn't enough find out their favorite places to go and get them gift cards. You can't go wrong with food, gas or shopping gift cards.

3. Food

College students are at that point in the semester where their over can food and frozen dinners. Groceries or even food gift cards would be appreciated.

4. Warm clothes

Warm winter clothes is a must when you're walking from one building to the other in the snow.

5. Shoes

All college students do a ton of walking everyday, so cute and comfortable shoes is a nice touch to the Christmas list.

6. Apartment stuff

Nothing is as exciting as having your own place and being able to decorate it however you want. Being on a college budget not many students have the money to my all the decor they want. So any rugs, pictures, pillows or furniture would be an awesome way to go.

7. A pet

Even though college students are busy a pet is still a great companion. I mean pets can help with depression and improve students day to day activities.

8. Comfy blankets

We all love those cozy blankets to cuddle up with on the days we have nothing at all to do.

9. Keurig w/ coffee

Every college student needs some type of pick me up for those 8am classes. And what better way than a quick and mess free cup of coffee from their Keurig.

10. Concert tickets

There are always concerts, shows, games or even plays that every college student wants to go to. So a ticket to their favorite game or artist is just the way to go.

11. Cookbooks

When you live on you're own you don't have those meal plans for school dinners. So a nice cookbook or two for easy dinners is a great thoughtful gift.

12. Candle/wax warmers w/ the wax

Candles are nice but not always allowed in dorms or a a cute wax warmer with the perfect scents is a gift any college student would be glad to have.

13. Pay for school loans

If all else fails money, money, money and more money to pay off those students loans. This gift is probably the one gift every college student with a loan out will be jumping up and down about.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
