Happy Holidays! At this time of year, one of my favorite things to do is holiday gift shop. I study for a few hours, and use holiday shopping on Amazon as a reward. I know not everyone loves shopping as much as I do, or could use some gift ideas, and I would love to share some tips and ideas with you.

College Students: Amazon Prime Student

Amazon Prime is an awesome service with many perks, one of the best being free-two day shipping on many items, so if you haven't started shopping yet, no problem! College students can use Amazon Prime Student for 6 months for FREE!

Amazon Gift Ideas

1.) Succulent Necklace

I absolutely love succulents. Succulents are thick and hardy plants that are able to live with little water. They are very easy to take care of and so beautiful. I bought one of these necklaces online, and I LOVE it. This one is called the "Little Gemstone."

The seller of these is WearItPlants, and the customer service is fantastic. The necklaces are about $11 with shipping and arrive within days in adorable packaging. You can get most of the plants on a necklace chain or on a keychain. Here are some more of the plants you can buy:

I highly recommend these necklaces! I have 2 of them and wear them all the time. They always get tons of compliments too!

2.) Hand-made, Customizable Keychains

I recently bought a handmade keychain from a seller on Amazon, "Hayden and Grace", and was so amazed by the choices, beautiful designs, and great prices. Almost all of the items have free shipping and arrive within days! There are keychains for women, men, dogs, and cats. Here are some examples of the amazing keychains and their prices:

State (any state), three 3 piece key chain. $8-$19, depending on which pendants you would like. The perfect gift from a college student to a relative or friend!

You are my favorite: $15 FREE shipping
