Now for today's list  -
Ask any college student what they want and the majority of them will answer MONEY!!!  So I whole heartedly endorse cash and gift cards for them.  However, we can be a little creative in how we give it.

I  have a whole board on Pinterest for college student gifts you can find it here.

I have pinned ideas for Christmas trees made of money




Candy bars wrapped in money


Money in Gum wrappers


Money inside their favorite candy


And coins wrapped up like peppermints.


I hope you will check all of this out on Pinterest.  Honestly, Pinterest people are very creative.

Now when you finish oragami'ing your money into these gifts, you can also consider things like
Gas Gift cards
Fast Food Gift Cards
Spa Gift Cards

My college daughter has 3 roommates and I start them on December 1st opening a gift a day until they part ways for their Christmas break

Last year their gifts included:
1) Shower Gels
2) Pioneer Woman Christmas mugs and hot chocolate mix
3) A Christmas Movie/popcorn
4) Hair Ties
5) Comfy socks
6) Hand lotion
7) Card Game
8) Ornament
9) Hedgehog Dryer Ball
10) Holiday Banner
11) Bath and Body hand sanitizer
12) Dip Mix/Crackers
13) Snack mix
14) Car Freshner
15) Snacks for the drive  home

Here's a look at the wrapped gifts for this December

I wrap four of every item in one box so they can open the one gift together and each have a surprise inside unless it is a group gift like the movie or the card game.  I can't report on the contents of these boxes because I don't want to ruin their surprise but I hope they are going to love it all.

Phone accessories are also good college gifts

Apparently, kids like things that help them hold on to their phones like:

Popsockets

Cell Phone Ring

And every college girl needs a good crossbody......might I recommend

Sole Society (3 color options)

Top Shop

And both boys and girls like a new pair of athletic shoes

Men's Nike Free Run

Women's Nike Air Zoom

P.S. All hand creams are on sale at Bath and Body for $1.75 today....in stores only.  These would be good stocking stuffers, fun to slide on a co-workers desk or even good for our college students.

Have a great weekend girls.  Talk to you on Monday!!!
