One of the best, but most overlooked parts of Christmas morning is opening the treasures in your stocking! Here are five useful and creative ideas (to tell Santa) that college girls will love!
1. Scrunchies & Hair clips
Something every college girl can NEVER have enough of is hair ties and hair clips! If you are anything like me, you are constantly losing them everywhere. Scrunchies have made a definite comeback and are a cute addition to a perfectly stuffed stocking. There’s no need to take out a small loan for these hair essentials. Try the Invisibobble Traceless Hair Ring sold at Ulta, or Sincerely Jules by Scünci available at Target for great quality products.
2. Bath bombs and fizzes!
Let’s be real here- one of the best parts about being home from college during winter break is not having to use the gross communal dorm showers! Fill the stocking with some fun bath bombs or fizzes and treat your college friend/daughter! Go ahead and pick up your bath bombs when you are shopping for hair essentials. Ulta sells a great “Luxe Relaxing Bath Bomb” and “Me! Bath” at Target offer quality soaks!
3. Lip Balms & Lotions
The temperature is dropping, snow is falling… and our skin is drying up! Some small lip balms, chap sticks, and lotions/creams are a must during the winter, especially while walking around on campus all day. Fix My Skin Healing Lip Balm available at LovelySkin.com offers the best products for the lushest lips.
4. Makeup Wipes & Mini Makeup Samples
Makeup stores like Sephora and Ulta always have a holiday section DEDICATED for stocking stuffers! Small makeup samples and beauty products are an easy, fun and inexpensive way to fill up a stocking and possibly find a new favorite product! Makeup remover wipes make a great base and help fill up space.
5. Small Jewelry Pieces
A little bit more on the pricey side- consider adding small pieces for your college girl to accessorize. Bracelets, stackable rings, or simple necklaces offer a fun and unique surprise. Check out Cost Plus World Market or Etsy for some super stylish, yet reasonably priced jewelry.
It’s the season for giving! Show someone you care with some of these fabulous and fun stocking ideas this Christmas.
