Links We Love: Holiday Gift Guide!

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

With studying for finals occupying almost all of your time (Get off of Facebook and review some notes!), it can be easy to forget that Christmas is right around the corner. Choosing gifts is hard, but here are some links we love to gifts that even a collegiette can afford!
 
Real Simple magazine—yes, the one your mom reads—put together a great collection of stocking stuffers that would make perfect gifts for your roommates, guy friends, parents, and everyone in between! The best news? They’re all under $25.

 Urban Outfitters also has a gift guide that they separated into categories to make choosing a little easier! Find stuff for the “class clown,” the “life of the party,” and the “artist” in your life here! Just try not to get sidetracked and spend all your money on a dress for yourself.

This season is all about spreading the joy, so why not stretch your giving ability a little more and give to charity while checking friends off your list? Gift.com has an impressive charity gift section, where everything you buy supports a different cause.
