Holiday Gift Guide for College Students

 

Every year around this time, we have trouble finding the perfect Christmas gifts for our loved ones due to two major problems. 1.) We are college students so we are BROKE and 2.) Everything they deserve costs over $100. So, what is the solution to this inevitable problem? LOOK NO FURTHER! We at Her Campus St. Petersburg have created a 2017 Holiday Gift Guide for your broke selves to give you some cheap yet amazing gift ideas for Christmas.

Everybody needs a good set of North Face gloves to keep warm in the winter. The unique thing about these, in particular, is that they are only $32.50 and you can use your smartphone while wearing them! Now your man will never miss your call. They also come in black.

 

This party game can get a little crazy. The idea is that you take turns reading one card from the deck and then you call out who the card fits best from the people playing. Card examples: “Is a little Bitch,” “Sings but shouldn’t,” and “Will make out with anyone.” This game is $16.
