It’s the season of giving. That means it’s time to get creative and figure out how your college student budget is going to allow you to get gifts for everyone on your list. With that in mind, you may be thinking that you simply cannot afford to even think about giving back to the many deserving organizations that will be seeking donations this time of year.
But with these gifts that give back, you can give the perfect presents to everyone on your list and donate to incredible nonprofits, without spending any extra money. Plus, they’re all under $50.
