Making your Holiday wish-list can be a struggle. Throughout the year, you may feel like you want so many things, but when it’s actually time to make a list, you can never seem to come up with anything. Have no fear, I have compiled gift ideas for you and your friends based on college majors!

Marketing

A Digital camera

Perfect for a media lover and the hottest trend on social media right now… a digital camera! There are many different kinds depending on your aesthetic, so be sure to do some research online. Regardless, you will be sure to love capturing memories that need no filter!

The Alix Earle Selfie light from Amazon

For all the Tik Tok enthusiasts or Social Media girls, a selfie light is the perfect gift to ensure pristine lighting at all hours. This light clips on your phone and is super convenient for “getting ready” transitions or any other kinds of content.

English:

A ticket to an experience

Most English majors love reading and the arts, so why not ask for those experiences you may be hesitant to splurge on yourself? The gift of tickets to a theater performance or show will be sure to leave an impression and may be worth more than any tangible item!

A Fun Sweater or Scarf

For some reason when I think of English majors, I imagine someone cozied up in a cute sweater and scarf in a coffee shop reading. So, why not get in the aesthetic and get comfortable in cute winter attire, such as this Madewell scarf, and channel your inner Rory Gilmore this season.

Pre-Nursing

Hoka Sneakers

Although I may not quite understand science, I do know that nursing majors are on their feet for hours running around. Sneakers are the perfect gift to keep these nursing majors on the move, plus Hokas are super stylish and cute!

Figs scrubs

Scrubs seem like a basic and unexciting gift for a nursing student, however Figs are pricey and said to be the “Lululemon” of scrubs. Not only are they super cute, but great quality!

Criminal Justice

The Anthropology “Clue” game

Criminal Justice majors love games and solving. Clue is a classic game everyone loves and Anthropologie recently released a line of games that are chic and the cutest colors. The price is steep, but it’s definitely not only for playing – these also make for an adorable coffee table piece! Plus there are dupes online if you dig around!

A Pair of Sunglasses

Sunglasses are always a must. I know for myself, I am always in need of a new pair! Whether I lost my old ones or am wanting a new style, they are always on my list. Channel your inner FBI agent and go undercover in a new pair of shades, such as these Raybans!

Psychology

A satin pillowcase

Rest your mind on a comfortable pillow case that’s not only cozy for a good nights’ rest, but also great for your skin and hair! Every psychology major knows sleep is one of the most important things for your mind and wellness.

The Five minute Journal

I’ve seen this journal everywhere and have heard nothing but great reviews. This daily journal keeps you grateful and centered and is the perfect gift for anyone that is passionate wellness and gratitude.

Communications

Summer Fridays Lip balm

With so many fun flavors and great reviews, the Summer Fridays lip balm is an amazing gift for a chatty and outgoing communications major. With lots of presentations, having glossy lips is an essential!

I-Pad accessories

An Apple pen and paper textured screen protector are the perfect pair for anyone with an I-Pad. Keep on top of your notes and get creative in class with these essential accessories.

Liberal Studies

An adult coloring book

Channel your inner child or join students with a coloring book. Not only are these so fun to do, but also a great way to relax and have a moment to be therapeutic. I personally own this coloring book and it’s so cheap and the most fun to color!

A Stanley water bottle

I know it seems basic, but Stanley water bottles are truly amazing for being on the go and keeping your water cold. Liberal Studies majors are talking often (maybe even having to raise their voices for that perfect teacher voice) and need to stay hydrated while being in style.

Business

Cute business pants

Not only are business pants super trendy right now, but a must for business majors that may have presentations, interviews, or sales competitions. Aritzia is known for its amazing quality, but Abercrombie is another great brand for a lower cost with tons of great business-wear!

The Long Champ Tote bag

These bags are both classy and comfortable. While being stylish, Long Champ bags also double as being super functional for slipping your laptop into when heading to a meeting. You can also pair them with inserts and dividers on Amazon to better organize the interior!
