As a freshmen in college money is a problematic factor right now. Not having enough and debating on spending your last $15 on that new shirt or Village Inn for breakfast. You never seem to have any. Then Christmas rolls around and you have to buy presents for your family AND friends. With what money exactly? Here is a list and picture visual I compiled of cute holiday gifts that you can make or buy for little cost on that college budget.

Homemade Candy Cane Sugar Scrub

Mason Jar Cookie Recipe

Put the ingredients for your favorite holiday cookie into a mason jar! But, maybe exclude the eggs and butter.

Festive Soap

Get some festive holiday soap from maybe the Dollar Store, Target, or Walmart. If you're willing to spend a little extra Bath and Body works usually has 6 soaps for $24. Attach a cute message and ribbon to your soap!

Mason Jar With Candy

Fill a mason jar with holiday candies and decorate the outside with ribbon, buttons or even a festive bow!

Sharpie Mugs

Get a cheap plain mug from the dollar tree or the sale area at Walmart or Marshalls! All you need from there is a stensil or sticker and your favorite colored sharpie!

A very cute and cheap idea for a gift! Get a mason jar, a nail polish, and filer and if you have some cotton balls at the house add those at the bottom! Add a cute ribbon or tag and there you are.

Candy Ornaments

Get a clear ornament and fill it with some holiday candy and attach a cute name tag or even a ribbon!
