So relax, don’t let gifting be stressful while you have enough to worry about. And we promise people will love these gifts!
 

Crushes-
 
Long-time Friend: You may just be in the friend zone right now, but let him know you care by giving him a nice thoughtful gift, and what guy wouldn’t like another gift? This leather flask from j.crew is the ultimate gift for any college student. Personalize it with a card to make your gift more special! J.crew $42.50
 

New Boy-Toy: Maybe you’ve been hanging out for a little while, or maybe you just want him to notice you. Wrap up the Steve Job’s biography and give it to the guy you have your heart set on. Amazon $17-$35
 
Boyfriends-
 

New Fun Romance: You and your man started dating because you’re both laid back and fun. It’s not about to get too serious between you two so you definitely want to keep the gift light and fun. This is the perfect gift and he wont be able to resist shoing showing off his Krup’s BeerTender to all of his friends. Neiman Marcus $100
 

Artsy boy: Maybe your guy is more of the artsy hipster type who can’t do anything without his coffee. If this sounds like your boyfriend then he’ll adore this Keurig single-cup brewer that can easily fit in his dorm room. This comes with a variety pack of K-Cups and now you’ll always have something to give him! Green Mountain Coffee Roaster $99.95
 

Too Cool for School: If your boyfriend is just oozing with coolness then maybe it’s time to style him with sunglasses. These Carrera sunglasses put a modern spin on the classic aviator style and for an affordable price! If he likes a little flash, go with the gold, but if he’s more of a subtle kind of cool the black is perfect! Saks $140
