Christmas can be hard to shop for considering everyone wants or needs different things, while the buyer still needs to consider their budget. What is a good medium to make everybody happy?
1. Gas Money/ Gas Card
It is not uncommon to have cars on campus, but it is hard to keep up the bill of gas if you are unemployed such as myself. Gas money will be something that anybody but especially broke, college kids will use often.
2. Gift Card to Their Favorite Clothing Store
While many students cannot just go home to switch out their wardrobe for the upcoming season, buying new clothes can help that problem while also being fun! Gift cards are said to be a boring gift, but honestly one of my favorite considering it gives me the option to purchase the exact thing I want. Consider the store's price range and accommodate a good gift card amount that will work for the student and your budget.
3. Winter Accessories
In the city around my school, it can get very cold and extremely windy. I did not come to school prepared with enough winter clothes, so expanding this part of my wardrobe with gloves, another jacket, thermal leggings, fuzzy socks, or scarves would be ideal. Walking to classes in the freezing cold would be a lot less painful with these items in my closet.
4. Apparel from Their School
Who doesn't love getting new apparel with their school name written on it? There are also sales that happen around the time for Christmas in bookstores!
5. One Year Worth Of Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime is a lot more helpful to college students than people can see. Almost anything can be ordered off of Amazon including textbooks, clothes, electronics, or gifts for others. It costs $99 for one year and gives the student access to PrimePantry, streaming tv shows and movies, free day shipping, and smaller perks.
