9 Gift Ideas for the College Student on Your Christmas List

  1. Massage. Work out the stress and anxiety of finals week with a relaxing massage.
  2. Tablet. With accessories like keyboards, it’s even easier for college students to use tablets like the iPad for note-taking. They can even download their textbooks as e-books and save money and the environment in the process. Good-bye back pain from carrying heavy textbooks!
  3. Gift card. Whether it’s to iTunes to load up on study music, to a nice restaurant in town, or Amazon where they can get virtually anything, gift cards are a great way to go.
  4. Portable Speaker. I have the X-mini ii and you would be surprised at how much it amps up the sound when watching a show on your laptop or listening to Pandora on your smartphone. At$19, it’s a great gift.
  5. Gym membership. How better to kick/avoid the Freshman 15 than working out? They can hit the pilates, spin, or Zumba classes to stay motivated.
  6. Luxurious mattress cover. Not only will this facilitate a better night’s sleep (what college student wouldn’t go for that?) it will also add some healthy boundaries between them and the mattress in the dorm.
  7. Movie tickets. After finishing a big paper or writing a midterm, sometimes you just need to unwind. Movie tickets will let them turn their minds off and reward themselves for a job well done.
  8. One Line a Day book. This five year memory book will help preserve memories for years to come. $16.95
  9. Money. Green goes a long way with college students and they will welcome it in any amount! Money talks, baby.

‘Tis the season for office holiday parties! A word to the wise, here are some things you should when deciding what to wear:

  • Cleavage — is that where you really want attention to go when talking to the guy from IT?
  • Too short/tight dresses — leave the club clothes for Saturday night
  • Too casual clothes — as to avoid showing disrespect
  • Holiday costumes — no sexy elf costumes!
  • Ugly Christmas sweater — unless that’s the theme!

Remember, you are partying with your boss and colleagues so that means your reputation is on the line. A good rule of thumb is this: Less skin is more! Because the more skin you show, the less authoritative you become.
