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 soft-y
You didn’t hear this from us, but this is a great gift to give to a boyfriend because you can totally steal it when you’re cold and it is extremely warm and soft. But, anyway, we digress. The Salt and Pepper hoodie from American Apparel is a college guy staple — he’ll wear it everywhere, so you know your gift is worth it! $48
For the movie buff
If he’s juggling catching up on “Homeland”, seeing the latest Judd Apatow movies and occasionally entertaining girls and renting The Notebook on iTunes, a six-month Netflix subscription is a perfect gift. $48
For the one who monkeys around
Add something to his wall (other than those trashy posters of girls) with this fun Monkey Easy Hang Wall Canvas from OCM. It’s fun, funny and best all doesn’t make his dorm room look like an insane asylum. $29
For the organized traveler
A bit practical, but this Leather Toiletry Bag is personalized and a necessity he’ll be able to keep for years to come. $49
For the guy who never buys himself clothes
J.Crew’s Slim Henley is super comfy, warm, and therfore a perfect holiday gift. He’ll be so huggable and cute! $49.50
