5 Easy Christmas Presents To Buy Your Favorite College Student
Hallmark Channel

On behalf of college students and young adults everywhere, we are sick of people wasting their money on gifts that we will never use. Sorry, but we will never wear the shirt you bought us with a big, sparkly butterfly that is probably the wrong size anyway. Literally do not waste your money or time finding us "the perfect gift" because unless you ask us, you will probably have no idea what it is. Therefore I have created a list of five easy, yet applicable presents for any college student or young adult anywhere. You are welcome.

1. Coffee

Literally anything coffee is life. Coffee is our bloodstream at this point. We like to think of it as a lifestyle, not an addiction. So feel free to supply our habit. This can include but is not limited to; actual coffee, k-cups, fancy coffee maker, coffee maker accessories, gift cards to coffee shops, cute coffee cups, and travel mugs.

2. Socks

Everyone loves some good ole socks. Fuzzy ones, long ones, short ones, and funny ones. Load us up. It is always good to have extras, especially when you are a professional at putting off laundry as much as possible.

3. Food

In case you were wondering, we pretty much go malnourished during the semester due to the fact that we are not adult enough to feed ourselves properly. Any kind of food is welcome. Actual food, take us to our favorite place that we cannot afford without adult money or gift cards for food to use throughout the semester. Anything to do with food is the perfect gift because it will be appreciated.

4. Gift Cards

Now some people feel like gift cards are a bit impersonal (and I understand I used to think the same way), but they are one of the best gifts to receive at this age. You know that my favorite place to go when I am stressed is Target. Perfect, get me a Target gift card. The money spent will definitely be appreciated and it is something that you know I will like because I personally picked it out. Nobody should get mad at getting gift cards for Christmas, be grateful that they care about you enough to let you pick out your own stuff with their money.

5. Money

Now, money is kind of a last stitch option, because you do not really know where it will go to depending on the person you are giving it to. But it is definitely a gift that will be used. We have bills. We need food. We like to splurge on stuff we do not really need but it seems like a good idea at the time. Or worst case scenario, it is some beer money to get us through the night when we return to our college town. Money is a gift that will never stop giving until we run out of it.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
