It's that wonderful time of the year where we all put together gift ideas and exchange what to get. As the big day comes creeping around the corner, I figured it would be a great idea to write an article about 15 last minute gifts to get college students. And by last minute, I mean last minute.
1. Fuzzy Socks
This is for the girls. Those suckers could be from the $3 section in Target or from Five Below. We aren't hard to please. If they're soft, warm and comfy, we'll be thankful
2. Giftcards
You were all once college students, you know we're broke and you know there are plenty of options on our campuses. A $10 gift card to Starbucks goes a long way for us and saving money.
3. Movies
Sometimes we need break from studying and watching a movie is a good way to keep us busy. Some of us actually study better with this kind of noise in the background. Any movie works, we don't expect much.
4. Sports Gear
If your college student goes to a college campus near a big city where there are sporting events, sports gear doesn't hurt. It could be the university school spirit or a professional's team. Sports gear is sports gear.
5. Lotion
Our skin gets so dry when we walk on campus in the winter, lotion helps us out a ton.
6. Candles
Lighting candles is relaxing and something that makes our living spaces smell 10 times nicer than it originally does. These are something you just can't go wrong with.
7. Coffee Pods
When we go through our phases of intense studying in the comfort of our own homes, making a quick trip to Starbucks isn't something that we do. K-Cups are usually a must have for college students.
8. Coffee Mugs
Can't have K-Cups without coffee mugs!
9. School Supplies
With the new semester around the corner, that means new everything. New pencils, pens, binders, and notebooks. That's something that for sure doesn't come around cheap and make for great stocking stuffers.
10. Winter Gear
Walking an entire mile across campus in 10-degree weather really isn't the greatest thing in the world. So to add on to great stocking stuffers, gloves, hats and scarves wouldn't hurt.
11. Hand Warmers
OUR HANDS GET COLD. EVEN WITH GLOVES ON.
12. Apartment Gear
I have a minor pillow obsession and you can never go wrong with plates.
13. Batteries
Those suckers are expensive for us broke college students. We go through them a lot. For our calculators, our game controllers, and out remotes. A college student could never have too many batteries.
14. Sports Gear
Believe it or not some college students actually work out.
15. Money
Or if it's super last minute and you still have no clue what to get for the college student you're shopping for, just be safe and write them a check or hand them a $20. That can go towards groceries or even filling up our gas tanks.
