Gift Guide 2020: What College Students REALLY Want

Please welcome guest blogger Lindi Goff! 

As a college student, I always try to find a balance between asking for Christmas gifts I want and need. To be honest, I think this is a valid and strategic mindset to have as a during undergrad because college is a temporary time in life.

Not to mention that as students, we have to embrace the unknown. Our schedules get crazy and change each semester, we survive and thrive by taking power naps, and spend late nights studying or making memories with new friends.

From kitchen/dorm room appliances to offline and online entertainment to products that allow us to treat ourselves, I’ve included gift ideas that accommodate these uncertain but exciting moments. Whether you’re a student or someone shopping for a student, I hope these items make your Christmas shopping a little easier!
