7 Useful Gifts You Can Buy This Valentine’s Day For Your Girl

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UWB chapter.

If you are struggling to buy a gift for your girl, don’t worry! You have come to the right place! All of the items I’m about to tell you somehow always get forgotten, but trust me it will definitely win her over. 

Fancy portable charger

Let’s get real, everyone’s phone dies when it is most needed. A portable charger would be practical and of good use when she forgets her charger, which she most likely will just like everyone else. 

Instant photo printer

College days are the most memorable days of anyone’s life. What can keep those memories safe and locked? Pictures. What can keep them even more safe if they are lost somewhere on the phone or laptop? Physical pictures. They also make cute wall decor. 

Smartphone projector

She can watch movies with lots of friends in a pajama party. She can also watch lecture PowerPoint right before finals and still feel like she just learned it from class. Practical yet fun! 

Parking pass

If the girl you’re gifting to drives to UWB, this is the best gift ever. We all know the struggle to get a parking pass, stand in a line at the pay station and be late to class. Or maybe because there are more cars than parking spots that day. A parking ticket would save her so much money and time. 

Coffee maker

The Pacific Northwest is cold and brutal during the winter season and no one, and I mean no one can survive the cold and torture of the morning classes without a good cup of coffee. In addition that who wants to spend five dollars every day going to Starbucks when a good coffee maker could save her life. Trust me this gift will be a lifesaver!

Bedside storage

Everybody who has enough storage raise your hand! No one? I thought so.  And that storage right next to the bed is a nightmare. Buy her a storage compartment where she can put her phone, laptop, books and any other items she may need to store away.  You’ll be her best friend forever. 

A pizza pouch

This pizza pouch is the greatest invention in the history of mankind. I mean, a pouch in which you can keep an extra slice of pizza warm and carry it around? Sold! 

These are just some items that most of the college girls craving for, but can never remember to buy them while shopping. But if there any other items that she wants badly, don’t be oblivious buy her that instead!
