While we all wish we could get our besties the lavish, over-the-top gifts they deserve, being a broke college student can make that wish a little bit out of reach. There have been plenty of ways to get around that within friend groups, such as doing a Secret Santa or a Yankee Swap. If you’re planning on getting each of your girlfriends their own special treat, however, stocking stuffers are great ways to do so without breaking the bank. Here at Her Campus, we compiled a list of some great stocking stuffer ideas for under $20:
1. Nail Polish
My favourite brand for this stocking stuffer is Essie. They retail at about $8.00 at CVS, Target, and Ulta.
2. Face Masks
Who doesn’t love a little pampering? Scoop up these face masks at Sephora for $6.00, or get 5 masks for $24.00. With over 5 choices, there’s a wide variety for all types of skin-care needs.
3. Blanket Scarves
With the cold winter air, who wouldn’t want a scarf that keeps your neck warm and operates as a makeshift blaket?
4. Bath Set
When you return to a non-communal bathroom over winter break, you need to break it in with a warm bubble bath. After getting through yet another semester of college successfully, it’s safe to say that every one of us has earned at least one luxurious night of pampering for ourselves.
5. Socks
These bad boys are incredibly underrated. They’re arguably the most amazing gift you could get now. After all, the dorm floors are harsh and what could be more cozy than a pair of fuzzy socks hugging your feet? Get this adorable pair from Forever 21 for $5.00.
