As a young adult, I often times find it hard to make a Christmas list. I don't feel like I need anything, per se, but truth be told... there are actually quite a few things that would really be helpful right about now.

Whether it be something to help me survive winter break when I'm off of school and my work-study job or something to make my next semester a little less stressful, I can honestly say that not only myself but pretty much any college student would be extremely grateful.

So if you're struggling to come up with a great gift idea, why not one of these?

1. Gym Membership

At most schools, we have free access to our on-campus gym and exercise facilities but once we get back home, we have to find an alternative. So why not gift a month at a local gym? A one-month membership will cover almost all of winter break.

3. Gift Cards To Their Go To Spot

During the school year, students are constantly wanting a little break but sometimes we can't afford it. So gifting some food and drinks at your students' favorite spot is definitely a great choice.

5. A Vacation

OK, this might seem a little over the top but with cruises selling for under $200 and plane tickets on sale for $20, this might just be the year do something a little extra special. After the chaos of finals and moving back for winter break, a much-needed getaway is something that could bring a person to tears of joy.

8. A Bottle of Wine

When we're at school sometimes our budgets limit our ability to purchase our favorite drinks. Plus, you can't just bring a glass of vino into the dining hall. For me, there's nothing better than a glass of Moscato to go with Christmas dinner.

9. Gas Gift Cards

A gas station gift card is a serious blessing. Giving your student an expense-free commute can take a huge load off of their shoulders, especially if it's a long drive.

10. A Massage

A massage is an amazing way to relieve some stress and enjoy a little relaxation. With a gift card for a local massage parlor, a student can save it and use it for those moments when school has just become way too intense.
