Trying to figure out what to gift for the holidays can be a daunting task. Shopping for the holidays is fun, but it’s a lot more fun when you can figure out a shopping list. While the best gifts are often personal ones, if you’re stumped for ideas it doesn’t hurt to find something incredibly awesome and add personal touches with a card or note.

Ultimately, this college girl gift guide can be used as finding ideas for what to add to your holiday wishlist or as a gift guide for the collegiates in your life.

Stocking Stuffers/Lower Cost

#1 Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream Set – I don’t think I can gush about these enough. Remember my swatches and review post? This cute little set is the perfect stocking stuffer–it offers a nice variety of lip colors.

#2 Portable Battery Pack – Perfect for the girl whose phone is constantly dying while she’s on the move. Portable battery packs can be incredibly inexpensive, but you can always splurge a bit for one with a fancy design.

#3 Starbucks (or Dunkin) Giftcard – Nothing’s better than being able to buy coffee without actually paying for it, am I right?

#4 Cute Phone Case – There are so many absolutely adorable phone cases out there, one sweep around the Internet or any store can tell you that. Most girls love to switch up their phone case on the regular, why not add to her phone case collection?

#5 Coffee Mug – I’m a firm believer that something you see every morning ought to be pretty and fun to look at. A travel mug or plain mug in general is perfect for a college student–it’s more than likely that they love their hot beverages like coffee or tea.

#6 Fuzzy Socks – Has anyone ever not fallen in love with a pair of fuzzy socks? You can never go wrong with a cute pair. The Shea infused fuzzy socks from Bath & Body Works are my personal fave–they moisturize your feet while you wear them!

Medium/Higher Cost

#7 Clarisonic Mia – This is perfect for keeping your skin fresh and clean. While it is pricey, it’s definitely one of those gifts that keeps on giving.

#8 Designer Wallet – It’s crucial to have a place to keep all of the store cards, credit cards, IDs and cash that collegiates must tote around, right? A pretty little designer wallet is sure to melt the heart of any college girl.

#9 College Apparel – We all know firsthand just how expensive college bookstores are. A new hoodie or pair of sweatpants repping her college is definitely going to be a gift that gets a lot of use.

#10 Roku Streaming Device – This is perfect for the Netflix or Hulu lover in your life. This device gets hooked up to a television and allows you to easily stream your favorite TV shows and movies!

#11 Sephora Lash Stash – This is perfect for beauty lovers and for anyone who’s an avid lover of mascara. Most college girls, whether they wear makeup on the daily or not, are fans of mascara. Who doesn’t love a simple beauty product that can add some pizzazz to any look? This set is awesome because it’s like a buffet of new mascaras–you get to try all sorts of new products and figure out your favorites.

#12 Instax Mini Polaroid Camera – These are extremely popular among college girls, especially those who love to capture memories. The Fujifilm Instax Mini is freaking adorable, first of all, and it’s also a gift that keeps on giving. Be sure to give this gift with a package of film!
