College Girl

Whether you’re still in college yourself and need a gift for a friend down the hall or you have that friend who still adores that easy college wardrobe, here are a few items that will have her squealing with excitement when she opens her gifts from you.

Stocking Stuffer: Headbands

Every college girl lives for her headbands. Think Blair from Gossip Girl or Hermione from Harry Potter. Anything with flowers, plaid or a combination of the two is perfect! One of my favorite places to get headbands is from Etsy. You can find so many unique and fun items for a fraction of the price of any other store.

Retail price: This headband goes for $10 but the styles and prices are endless.

Under $25: Dorm Decor

Whether she lives in a dorm or an apartment, fun and quirky home decor that maximizes small spaces is perfect for any collegiate gal. I love the idea of giving a fun personalized bulletin board with a few photos of the two of you on it. She’ll appreciate that you considered her style and added a little something that will remind her of the two of you.

Retail price: This particular one goes for $15 on Etsy but you can easily make your own for about the same price with a few things from Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.

Under $50: Tote bag

Every college girl needs a great big tote bag to carry all of her stuff in. As she’s walking from class to class with her computer, notebooks, planner, cell phone and more, the bigger the bag the better. However, don’t leave her to use one of those boring old canvas bags. Give her a stylish bag that she’d be happy to take the the mall after classes end for the day.

Retail price: This bag goes for $37.99.

Under $100: Rain/snow boots

When she’s trekking from class to class she’s bound to get stuck in the snow or rain at least a few days out of the year. While lots of college girls resort to wearing Uggs, I sort of hate them. Unless there is a blizzard, you don’t need to sacrifice your style and wear ugly snow boots. Give her a stylish pair of boots from däv. She will want to wear these boots all year round. When däv sent me a pair to try, I was a bit skeptical at first about the comfort and style of a pair of waterproof boots but I honestly haven’t wanted to take them off since I got them.

You can win a pair of these stylish boots. Read on to the end of the post for more information!

Retail price: däv boots range from $55 to $98

$100+: Laptop case

Because she probably takes her computer with her everywhere, she’ll need a way to protect it when she’s out and about. There are standard cases available for each size of computer but I like the cases that go above and beyond your average cover.

These laptop cases look like a book you might find in an old library or deep in the corner of a dusty study. I love the old meets new look of carrying around a book that houses all of your digital photos, notes and more.

Retail price: about $99
