Need some special Christmas ideas for college students on your list this year? Of course they want a Kindle, iPad, iPhone or any other expensive electronic gadget which they claim is necessary to survive and want help with learning. But if you have some relatives or friends in the list of college students this year that these items are probably not in your budget, and you have some cheaper ideas.
Some other factors when shopping for great gifts for college students is that you want to get them something useful or fun that they can use in school and do not take up much space! Space is at a premium in the dorm room and you do not want to give the student something bulky to lug their journey back to school either.
One way you can get around having to carry something heavy back to school gift you can not go wrong is the gift card. They can be a bit impersonal, but money is another commodity that is tight around the university dorm! An Amazon gift card allows the student to achieve something they need or want and pool them with other Amazon gift cards they could get. Amazon is not only carry their own gift cards. They also have gift cards for restaurants, movies, supermarkets, just about everything you can think of. Do not check and make sure that there is a store where a student lives first!
What else make good gifts for the students? How about some goodies for the dorm room. Most of the students have access to a microwave, but usually limited refrigerator or shelf space to keep stock of “real food” on hand. Cafeteria food gets old, however, and eating out is expensive. Being able to heat something up to your room while learning can be a time saver and money saver and some comfort from home.
This is another gift that does not need to go back to school. You can easily have goodies transferred to the student dorm. I would wait until after the holidays so you know they’ll be there to get it. A short note in a card or a gift symbol to tell them what to expect will give them something special to look forward to when they get back to the grind after the holidays.
How about a selection of fine hot cocoa, hot cider, tea or other hot beverage that only needs water heated up in the microwave? Nothing like a settlement with a hot drink on a cold winter night and the sweet taste of home, too!
snack food is probably where college students spend most of their money. Something salty or sweet and crunchy to munch on while learning keeps the brain focused, or so I am told by various students of the school. This is another food gift might seem a little silly at first, but will be highly appreciated. Selection of microwave popcorn or chocolate-covered espresso beans could be a great Christmas gifts for college students. Of course, prepackaged snack cart choice for just about every taste or occasion also available if you wanted to do it.
We heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and a good breakfast helps you learn better. It is probably the meal that gets released students most. The last extra precious minutes of sleep always win out over the cafeteria for a real breakfast. Would not you enjoy knowing that student is to get a good hot breakfast once in a while instead of always having a donut on the run? Think oatmeal or other hot cereal. I’m not talking about the instant stuff that tastes like glue. I’m talking about the Christmas present of some of the real stuff packed with goodies from dried fruit and brown sugar. Something they would never go out and buy for themselves but will happily cook in the microwave and eat while getting ready for class.
Does not that make you feel better?
