This week while Holley is taking a little vacation, our social media intern Paloma is taking over with her fabulous gift ideas for the college girl.
Santa shopping can get hard as the kids grow up. Shopping for college girls? Even harder! I’m here to give you the lowdown on what’s hot, what’s not, and what every college girl would be thrilled to find under the tree on Christmas morning. I’ve split up the gifts into categories: things to splurge on, some wardrobe essentials, and stocking stuffers. Let me take you through my College Girl Gift Guide!
If you’re looking to splurge, accessories are where it’s at. I’m talking about shoes, bags, and jewelry. Instead of splurging on fancy clothes that may go out of style, gift your college girl some accessories that will last a lifetime and will always be on-trend. This red Gucci crossbody is stunning and so classic. It will add a pop of color to any outfit! If red isn’t your color, then this black Rebecca Minkoff will surely do the trick. Now, for shoes. Golden Goose is always trending and in style, and this hightop version is adorable with cheetah accents and blue laces. They may look hard to style, but they can go with any and every outfit. Tory Burch and Gucci sandals are perfect gifts even in winter! These fan favorites are practical, yet still designer. Lastly, Uggs are back! These black mini Uggs are perfect with any loungewear outfit and on-trend. And these cheetah slippers are adorable- you know my love for animal print!
Wardrobe essentials make the perfect gift as well. I’ve included clothes, accessories and some beauty. Your daughter will be obsessed with these Agolde jeans (size down!) and this black Free People puffer coat. Of course, you can never go wrong with sweaters and graphic tees as well. Free People and Urban Outfitters are the perfect places to shop for these on-trend items. This black leather jacket from Topshop will surely compliment every outfit and will become your college girl’s cold-weather staple. Loungewear and pajamas have been a necessity this year, and have become their own trend. These graphic sweatpants by Boyslie are taking the internet by storm (hello, TikTok!) and your college girl will love them. Add on this Champion hoodie and Def Leppard graphic tee and she’ll be Instagram ready.
Lastly, some random finds and stocking stuffers will top off the best Santa delivery of all time. These RayBan sunglasses are adorable and flattering on everyone. Sephora has some amazing gift sets right now, and this Drybar bundle is complete with a blow dryer, brush, and their best products! Hair accessories are all the rage, like these headbands, scrunchies, and claw clips. Is your college girl obsessed with her phone? This multi-pack of extra-long iPhone chargers and adorable leopard phone case will become her new favorite tech accessories. Finally, top off the stocking with some gold jewelry: these tiny gold hoops are perfect if your college girl has multiple ear piercings, and this gold Baublebar ring is adorable in a stack on her hand. Layered gold jewelry is trending, so gifting her multiple pieces to layer and stack will be perfect!
