College age “kids” are hard to shop for sometimes; trust me I know, from the pile of questionable gifts I have received in the past few years. Please forgive us for not calling and telling you what we want; this time of the semester our lives revolve around eating, sleeping, and studying (mostly studying). I have put together this gift guide in hopes of helping you find the perfect gift for the college girl on your list. Personally, I would be thrilled if Santa brings me any of these items!
1. In junior high and high school it may have been un-cool to carry a lunch box, but trust me, we are over it. Busy students don’t always have time to go home for lunch, and we definitely don’t have the money to buy lunch every day, so a lunch box is the perfect solution.

2. What do late night study sessions and 8 a.m. classes have in common? A reason to make coffee! Every college student needs a good coffee maker to get them through, and what girl doesn’t want pink kitchen appliances?
Cuisinart® 4-cup Coffeemaker with Stainless Steel Carafe
Cuisinart
3% of net sales for Cuisinart Pink Products are donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®
$29.95
3. Sometimes the shower is the only place where school, roommates, and work don’t follow me. Shower gel is a great gift for busy girls everywhere.
Pistachio Shower Gel
Earthworks Products, Inc.
30% of proceeds to World Resources Institute
$18.00
4. College is all about making statements: piercing your nose, protesting for peace, and/or dying your hair pink. This tee is a great way to help your college student make a statement and look cute at the same time.

5. This bottle is great for filling with water, coffee, or tea, for those pesky morning classes. It’s cheaper than buying drinks at school and it’s more environmentally friendly than using plastic water bottles everyday.
