There are people every holiday season who are consistently easy to shop for. College guys are rarely those people. This a HARD group to shop for. They give little direction other than a necessity for (beer) money. And while cold hard cash is a viable gift for some, if you’re reading this you probably want to give something with a little more girth than a greeting. So here you go: here is the help you’ll never get from him and could only get from Her Campus. Good luck!
For the book reader
Ready to splurge? The Kindle Fire HD is the gift that is completely, completely worth it. Your guy can read, watch movies, and play games and every time he watches yet another movie on Netflix, he’ll think of you! $200
For the player
Your guess is as good as ours about how you could possibly wrap this, but imagine the wonder in your guy’s eyes when he sees the giant box holding his Ping Pong Rally Table Tennis Table. You know it’ll get great use whether it be at a party or just an intense match between the two of you. $150
For the bed lover
If you’re looking for a good gift for a guy who manages to do pretty much everything (but shower and go to the bathroom) in his bed, he will fall for this Serta Ultimate 4-inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper. This baby could make even the most uncomfortable dorm bed feel like a dream. $145
For the cool computer
If he needs a new computer and you have $$$ for a splurge, this is your best bet. The Acer Ultrabook is a favorite of ours because of its great visuals. All the better for studying… sure… $600
For the most unique music fan
Laying out on the quad, hitting the beach, rocking out on a bus tour — wherever he goes he will be playing his music loud and proudly on this blue iPod/iHome docking station. Our warning? If you hate his music, get him headphones, not this super-cool boom box. $200
