College students are often on a tight budget, so making them a gift can be tricky. However, with some creativity and thoughtfulness, you can make an amazing present that won’t break the bank. Here are some ideas for thoughtful gifts to give your college student:
1. Customized mug - A personalized coffee mug is always a great way to show someone you care! You can easily find customizable mugs online or at most stores that sell kitchen supplies. Add their name and school logo or even something funny like “Coffee keeps me going until it’s acceptable to drink wine again” for an extra special touch.
2. Care package - Everyone loves receiving mail! Put together a box of snacks and treats from home with items they may not be able to get in their area such as candies from your hometown or favorite regional snacks. Include small trinkets like cute keychains or stickers too if there's room in the box!
3. Gift card - It may seem impersonal but giving them a gift card will allow them to buy whatever they need without having to worry about spending more money than what was given as the gift itself – leaving more funds for other expenses such as textbooks, groceries etc… This also gives them flexibility when it comes time to shop around for whatever item they choose – whether its clothes/shoes/electronics etc…
4 .Subscription services- There are tons of subscription services available nowadays ranging from food delivery services (HelloFresh & Blue Apron) , streaming sites (Netflix & Hulu), music platforms (Spotify & Apple Music) and much more ! These subscriptions provide convenience and entertainment which every college student could use during those long days studying in libraries or dorm rooms .
5 .Selfcare products- A basket filled with selfcare items like face masks , bubble baths , candles , lotions etc… would make any college student feel pampered after long hours of studying ! You could also include things like planners / journals / books that help promote mental health if you want something extra meaningful .
6 .Gift baskets- If all else fails – put together various items into one big basket ! Fill it up with chocolates/sweets, cozy socks, fuzzy slippers , stationery sets etc.. All these little goodies will definitely brighten up anyone’s day – especially during exam season !
