BEST CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR COLLEGE GIRL:
1. APPLE WATCH
Apple watch is a must for any athletic college girl. Even if she isn’t that into working out, Apple watches are so convenient.
They allow you to send and receive text messages, call, track your steps and so much more!
2. iPAD
iPads are so popular among college students. They are great for taking notes in class, studying, and doing homework. I got this as a graduation gift last year and I swear by it.
I don’t go anywhere without my iPad. They will last all throughout her college years and beyond.
3. DIFFUSER
If you live in a dorm room, chances are they don’t smell very good. Some colleges don’t allow you to have candles so this diffuser will really come in really handy.
This one from Amazon is SO good. There are 7 different LED mood lights you can set it to from your phone.
4. WATER BOTTLE
Water bottles are essential for any college girl. I especially love this Hydro Flask water bottle. It keeps my drink cold for the whole day and I don’t have to refill it as much.
5. LIP BALM
Summer Friday’s lip balm is the “it” girl of the lip balms. It’s everywhere on TikTok and has so much hype around it and for good reason. This will keep your lips moisturized for so long and it has great shine.
It also comes in 2 different shades so you can get her the color she likes most.
6. EARRINGS SET
Every college girl wants jewelry as a Christmas gift. This set from Amazon comes with 9 different pairs of earrings. They are great for everyday wear and don’t tarnish for a really long time.
7. NAIL POLISH KIT
If you get your nails done, you know how expensive it can be. You can save SO much money by learning how to do them at home. It’s super convenient since you can do them in the comfort of your own home.
This nail polish set comes with everything you need to do your nails at home and is super affordable.
8. PIMPLE PATCH
I know every college girl has had a gross pimple on their face that you can’t get rid of at least once. I always felt super self-conscious whenever I left my dorm room. Especially on those days where I really had to look good and that pimple was ruining everything.
These pimple patches are literally a lifesaver. You can just stick this on before you go to bed and it’ll absorb all the pimple gunk right off.
9. MAKEUP MIRROR
This is another fantastic Christmas gifts for college girl. Every college girl needs a good makeup mirror. College dorm rooms have very bad lighting, so the LED on this is super helpful to do makeup.
Also, if you like to do your own eyebrows at home, it has a magnifying mirror so you can be very precise.
10. SWEATPANTS
If you’re a freshman going into college and wondering what everyone wears, it’s literally sweatpants and an oversized shirt or hoodie. So this will make for an amazing Christmas gift for college girls.
11. SEPHORA GIFT CARD
If you have absolutely no idea what gift to get for a college girl, then gift her this Sephora gift card. You cannot go wrong with a Sephora gift card. Even if she’s not into makeup, she can buy her favorite fragrance, skincare, or haircare.
12. BUM BUM CREAM
This Brazilian bum bum cream has been super popular on TikTok. It smells like heaven and is very moisturizing. I actually don’t use this cream as a moisturizer because it’s so strong.
I like to use it as a perfume instead and it lasts for more than 8 hours on my skin.
13. TASMAN SLIPPER
Tasman slippers are great for a lazy day at home. I’ve been seeing them everywhere on Pinterest. They are so comfortable and go with almost anything.
14. WEIGHTED BLANKET
If you live in a dorm room, this is an amazing Christmas gift. My dorm room was always so cold, so this weighted blanket definitely added an extra layer of warmth. Plus it’s so pretty and soft.
15. FACE ROLLER
If you’re a college girl who loves to take good care of her skin and has an elaborate skincare routine, then you need this face roller. You can pop this in your fridge so in the morning when you use it, you’ll feel refreshed and calm.
It also works great to de-puff the face in the morning.
16. WORKOUT SET
Who says workout clothes can’t be cute? If you’re looking for Christmas gifts for college girl she’ll love, then get her this workout set.
It’s super stretchy and comfortable. You can look HOT while working out too!
17. PERFUME SET
Perfume is another great gift for a college girl, mom, sister, friend, or anyone who likes fragrance. I am in LOVE with the replica perfumes. They smell so good and have great longevity.
You can get her this mini perfume set that includes 5 different replica perfumes. If she’s trying to find a new fragrance she wants to buy, this gift is perfect.
18. PEPPER SPRAY
I think this gift is a necessity for all women. I know we’ve all heard about girls getting attacked while walking home, grocery shopping, or generally doing daily activities.
If you are ever in a situation where you need to defend yourself, this pepper spray will come in handy. This is the maximum strength of pepper spray that is used by the police force and military.
19. HOLLYWOOD FLAWLESS FILTER
Charlotte Tilbury anything is a yes from me. They have the BEST makeup. The Hollywood flawless filter is my favorite and I’m sure most girls will agree with me.
You can use this as a primer or by itself. I personally like to use just this and no foundation because I like the more natural makeup look. I will say though if you have a lot of blemishes, then you should probably use a foundation on top or spot conceal since this doesn’t have a lot of coverage.
20. HALF-ZIP HOODIE
Talk about Christmas gifts for college girl. College girls, including myself, love Lululemon anything. They are so comfy and simple. I especially love this pink half-zip hoodie. You can wear it to class, on a morning run, or for lounging around.
They have several different colors, so you can get the one she likes best.
21. ATHLETIC SHORTS
These athletic shorts from Amazon will make a fantastic gift for all college girls. They are super affordable and flowy, so they will be great for those hot summer months.
22. PERFUME
This glossier perfume has been all over my TikTok for you page. This smells SOOO good. It’s warm, fresh, and slightly spicy. It is THE fragrance every college girl needs.
23. AIR FRYER
This is one of my favorite Christmas gifts for college girl. If you live in a dorm room or are moving into your first apartment, you absolutely need this air fryer. We all know how expensive ordering takeout can be and how unhealthy it is.
You can make so many delicious and healthy recipes with this air fryer and keep that Freshman fifteen off.
24. MAGNETIC KEY HOLDER
How cute is this little magnetic key holder? If you don’t have too much to spend this holiday season, I highly recommend gifting this. You can just stick it on the wall and you won’t have to worry about losing your keys again.
Plus, it’s a nice addition to the decor.
25. CLAW CLIPS
I bought these hair clips after seeing so many videos on TikTok. And I have to tell you, they are so worth it. They are great for keeping the hair away from your face and also for when you don’t feel like doing your hair before classes.
Plus, they are super inexpensive.
26. JEWELRY TRAVEL CASE
You asked for affordable Christmas gifts for college girl,? Here it is! If you travel often and are always losing your jewelry because you have no place to put it, then this travel jewelry case is for you.
It has a lot of compartments for rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
27. TRAVEL PACKING CUBES
This is another great Christmas gift for college girl who loves to travel. It is great for space-saving and keeping things organized.
She can put her hair products and makeup in different cubes, and her clothes, and various different things.
28. HAIR WAX
If you like to do slick back hairstyles, you are going to love this hair wax. It keeps all your hair tamed and works great for those little hairs that just stick out.
It doesn’t leave a lot of residue but in order to get rid of it all, I recommend double shampooing.
29. BRONZING SELF TANNER
I absolutely love this self-tanner for my face and neck. I use it daily in the morning because my face and neck are a lot lighter than my body.
If you have the same problem or just want to add a little color to your face for those winter months, this is perfect.
30. INSTANT PRINT CAMERA
This is another one of my favorite Christmas gifts for college girl. This instant photo printer is such a fun way to keep memories from a party or vacation.
31. KINDLE
I bought this for myself last summer because I wanted to start reading more. It is the newer addition so it’s more expensive but in my opinion, so worth it. Physical copies of books are so much more expensive than if you just bought them on Kindle.
Also, you can pay a monthly subscription to Kindle Unlimited to read millions of books for free.
32. METROPOLIS PARKA
One of the very best Christmas gifts I’ve received from my parents is this Metropolis Parka winter coat. I like how it is a little longer than normal coats so it’ll also keep the tops of your thighs warm as well.
It’s great for the winter months especially during those really, really cold days.
33. INITIAL NECKLACE
College girls probably already have an initial necklace but if they don’t, it makes for a great Christmas gift. It has a little personal touch and I promise all the women in your life will appreciate this gift.
34. RARE BEAUTY BLUSH
Rare beauty is the sh*t. I have not tried a product from their brand and not love it. Their blushes have so much hype around them and for good reason. They are the pigment QUEEN! This little bottle will probably last you over a year even if you use it every day.
All you need is one little dot and you’ll have the prettiest blushed up cheeks. However, for darker complexions, you’ll probably need a little more for it to show up.
35. BLOW DRY BRUSH
I know you’ve seen this Revlon blow-dry brush all over TikTok. It’s the best blow-dry brush I’ve ever used. It saves me so much time in the morning when I’m getting ready. I don’t like using a lot of heat on my hair so this is great.
You only need to use it once after you wash your hair, and you’ll be good for the whole week. I highly recommend gifting this for Christmas.
36. FROWNIES
I have horrible frown lines on my forehead and this has helped me get rid of them. Before I found out about frownies, I was seriously considering getting Botox because it just looked so horrible. Right after the first use of frownies, I saw a drastic difference.
So, if you have worry lines or want to go longer without getting Botox, I highly recommend you buy these for yourself or ask as a gift.
37. SCRUNCIES
Every college girl needs scrunchies. No matter how much I buy them they end up getting lost the next day. So this is a great Christmas gifts for college girl.
