Most of us understand and accept the hard truth: college students are broke.

Being a poor college student, gifts are awesome. But that doesn't mean you can't give this season. Here are some suggestions that won't break the bank:

1. A 3-month BirchBox Subscription

Birchbox sends you 5 personalized beauty products per month to your front door. From skincare, makeup, bath and body, hair care, fragrances, and more discover new products that may just become a new staple in your daily routine.

Bonus: Birchbox offers more masculine products as well (for a high subscription cost).

Price: $30.00 (+2.95 service fee)

2. A bottle of "good" wine

First off, who doesn't like wine? Second off, there are plenty of options out there that are totally affordable and totally delicious. Whether you choose Wine and Spirits, Wegman's or some other local bougie food market there will be a worker more then eager to help you if you look slightly confused at all the names you can't pronounce.

Price: As little as $10.00

3. Movie Night

Put together a popcorn bucket with some movies picked out from Walmart's $5.00 bin. Add some bags of popcorn, the recipients favorite candy, an a IOU slip that they can redeem for a girls night or date night.

Price: $11.00

4. Coupon Booklet

As third grade as it may be, it is still useful, practical, and widely appreciated. A coupon booklet is a great gift that works for friends, family members, or significant others. Give one to your dad with ideas like "Day of Football", "One free Mow the Lawn". Your boyfriend could have ones like "Get Out of One Argument" or "Free Back Massage". This idea allows you to get creative and will hold a special meaning when homemade.

Price: Free!!!!

5. Homemade Lotions, Soaps, and Scrubs

Winter is one of the most brutal times for our skin and lips. Everything is dry and cracking (ew). Homemade skin care products typically use very little ingredients, some even found in your kitchen already, and can be customized for skin type and scent. You can find travel size containers for your products at the local dollar store, or get crafty with mason jars and decorations.

Price: $7.00 - $20.00
