Gift Guide: College Students

Hello readers! How is everyone? I recently finished my semester and so happy to have a break from school. I can't believe it's almost Christmas. Has everyone finished their gift shopping? If not, this gift guide can help give you ideas to shop for your college classmate or family member who is in college. This gift guide can be applied for those who are college age. Please remember that this list is only suggestions and is not an inclusive gift guide.

• Gift cards: This can be a great gift especially if you are not sure what someone likes. Also restaurant gift cards are nice since young adults don't always have extra money to eat out #brokecollegestudent. Target, Walmart, and Visa gift cards are great options. If you know a specific place a friend likes to shop, then maybe a gift card there would be a great gift. Gift cards allow the person to pick something they want and ensure that they really like the gift. If you have to travel for Christmas, gift cards are travel friendly.

• Technology accessories: Personalized phone cases or tablet cases can make christmas gifts. Headphones/earbuds, charging cords, and screen protectors are also great options. It never hurts to have extras of these since many times they get lost. Five Below and target has inexpensive technology accessories.

• Homemade goodie basket: Many times college students don't have the time to make homemade food. It would be nice to make a gift basket of homemade foods/ desserts that they like.

• Relaxing things: Buy a gift that is relaxing for college age students. Movies, face masks, bath salts, games, books ( fun reading),  fuzzy socks, and music are things that can be relaxing for college age people. College students are often stressed and it is so important to relax.

I hope that this gift guide helps you with your shopping for college age friends and family. Have a great weekend. Please follow the blog on Instagram @awordwithlm to receive updates about the blog and see a glimpse into my daily life.
