  1. Cozy blanket

Practical and affordable. A warm blanket is a perfect way to stay warm this winter and can be the ideal addition to a dorm bed. Choose between seasonal, floral, or plain designs from stores like Target and Macy’s!

  1. PJ Set

Personally, one of my favorite gifts to receive. Give your friend a chance to experience the magic of a two-piece silk pajama set. Cute options can be found at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls! 

  1. Lego Set

A fun activity that turns into a decoration. Explore cute floral options, including mini orchids and plum blossoms on the Lego website!

  1. Jellycat

A super cute addition to any room. Pick out a jellycat that fits your friend’s personality on the Jellycat website. 

  1. Selfcare Set

Make sure your friends stay moisturized during these cold winter months. Check out sets by BYOMA and TreeHut on Target’s website!

  1. Jewelry

Make sure you pick the right color. Buy a cool necklace, earrings, or bracelet at a local jewelry store for your friend. 

  1. Candles

Cinnamon or pine spruce-scented. Pick out wonderful-smelling candles of any scent to make your friend’s room smell like Christmas. Yankee Candle and Bath & Body Works are affordable options. 

  1. Going-out Top

For the times on Saturday nights when your friend “has nothing to wear”. Shop at Edikted, PacSun, and Princess Polly for a variety of styles and colors. 

  1. Phone Case

For your friend whose phone case is breeding the next pandemic. Check out Wildflower Cases and Casetify for unique and trendy designs. 

  1. AirTag

Perfect for a forgetful friend. AirTags are available at the Apple Store with custom engravings and keychains
