30 Ideas for Best Gifts for Teens and Best Gifts for College Students

Shopping for teens and college students can be fun and challenging. It seems that the older kids get, the smaller and more expensive the presents are. I remember needing two rolls of wrapping paper to wrap a giant plastic car for my toddlers. Now I sometimes need barely a square of wrapping paper and the gift costs 5 times what the giant plastic car cost. But, if you know where to look, there are many gifts for this age group that do not need a charging cable. Read through this list of Best Gifts for Teens and Best Gifts for College Students for awesome present ideas that will not break the bank.

Gift Ideas for Teens and College Students 14

My daughter and I both love our real acrylic makeup storage units. Real acrylic ones are sturdy and last for years (instead of months with cheap plastic ones).

A beautiful and fun set of gel pens would go great with the Rifle Paper Notebooks.

Gift Ideas for Teens and College Students 18

Teens and college girls are always taking their makeup places – to a friend’s house or back and forth from college. A new makeup bag would fit the bill. I like how this one has a separate zip pouch at the bottom for brushes or whatever she would like to separate from her other items.

An eye shadow pallette or any make up set from a premium brand like MAC will be loved!

Stocking Stuffers for Teenagers and College Students

by Laura | Nov 8, 2022 | Gift Guides

Stocking Stuffers for Teenagers and College Students

I have been buying stocking stuffers for teenagers and college students for over 10 years. I have bought every stocking stuffer known to man and have figured out which ones the kids like and which ones they don’t. We have also started a few family traditions, like 2 of the kids want a baggette in their stockings every year. Weird, I know, but we have an amazing bread bakery near us and my kids want their own baggettes for Christmas!!

Read on for my best stocking stuffer ideas for teenagers and college students!

My family and kids love the Bananagrams game. We play it a lot over the Christmas holidays. It is a great stocking stuffer because, well, it fits in a stocking and your college student can easily pack it to take back to school.

Stocking Stuffers for Teenagers and College Students 28

Give them gloves they won’t have to remove to text – these touchscreen gloves! They are so reasonably priced you can buy them for the whole family. They come in S-XL and in a variety of colors.

They think they don’t need a flashlight because they have one in their phone, but I get my kids flashlights anyway for their bedside tables and glove compartments for emergencies. A small powerful light can come in super handy.

Great shaving kits like this one from Kiehl’s are always appreciated.

Stocking Stuffers for Teenagers and College Students 43

Stocking Stuffers for Teenagers and College Students 44

A laptop keyboard lamp makes working in a dark room easier – great for not disturbing a sleeping roommate.

Christmas Gifts for Women

by Laura | Nov 8, 2022 | Gift Guides

Christmas Gifts for Women

Women can be easy to buy for or they can be hard to buy for – depending on the woman! I have curated a list of Christmas gifts for women that will give you lots of unique gift ideas whether you need gifts for women in their 40s or gifts for women over 50 or really, any woman. Because It’s not about her age. It’s about knowing the woman.

What does she love? What does she really dislike? What does she think is cheesy? What are her hobbies and interests?

Read the Christmas Gifts for Women guide below for ideas in many categories.

Christmas Gifts for Women

Christmas Gifts for Women Who Love to Read

This is gonna sound crazy, but if she loves to read, get her a book. Lisa Jewell has a new book called Invisible Girl. I have read most of her books and loved them! Here is a link to the current best sellers on Amazon for more ideas.

This is a fun idea – a book seat/travel pillow. Great for reading in bed or saving your hands if they have carpal tunnel or arthritis.

Nothing a reader likes better than a winter day, curled up under a blanket, reading and having this soothing new bookstore scented candle burning.

This is cool – a book weight to hold the book open while you read.

Gifts for Women Who Love to Workout

Women who love to work out need a no bounce running belt especially if they run outside.

She also cannot have enough stainless steel water bottles – like this Hydroflask.

Working out is great for you, but it also causes soreness. Give her a foam roller to work out those sore muscles.

A new yoga mat for the yogi. Yoga mats like all exercise equipment have been in low supply during the pandemic.

Stocking Stuffers for Women Who Love to Work Out

The awesome Invisibobble hair ties have a strong hold, will not damage hair, or get sweat-soaked.

Keep her safe when she is running or biking at night with these LED slap-it bracelets.

The absolute latest Apple AirPods are now noise cancelling. I include them as a stocking stuffer because they are small, but they would make a great gift for anyone on your list.

This pack of 946 Fitness stickers for her planner will make planning her workouts, keeping a food diary, and reaching her goals even more fun.

Gifts for Women Who Love to Craft

Any woman who likes crafting needs one of these babies – a Cricut machine. I got an Explore Air 2 Cricut last year for Christmas and I LOVE IT. I make cards, labels, care package items, and more. I am thinking about adding a Cricut Joy this year.

Martha Stewart’s latest book, The Martha Manual, will give her hours to sit by the Christmas fire and dream up new projects.

How about this Super Amazing Craft Storage Cart or any of the high quality craft storage items from the Container Store.

Every serious (and not so serious) crafter needs a self-healing cutting mat for rotary or utility knife cutting to avoid damaging other surfaces.

Combine her love of crafting with her love of the word with this Journaling Bible.

And if you give a crafting gal a Journaling Bible, then she is going to need the a Bible Journaling Kit to go with it.

And the Bible Journaling Workbook for ideas.

And this Happy Hand Lettering Guide as well.

Gifts for Women who Love a Pretty Desktop

I love everything Rifle Paper Company and these journals are no exception. I have a set that I take notes in, using each one for a different topic.

These Rose Gold Office Supplies will brighten her desk and her mood as she works.

She absolutely needs tassel paper clips to organize groups of paper.

AND she needs these Rifle Paper Company Binder Clips to go with everything else.

Christmas Gifts for Women Who Love Planners

Christmas Gifts for Women Who Travel

LONGCHAMP TOTE

Longchamp Totes are the ultimate travel totes.

monogrammed luggage tag and passport cover

Plan a trip for 2021 with a monogrammed passport cover and luggage tag.

If she is running through (or sitting for hours) in airports, she is going to need a portable charger. It is so much better to have your own charging device than fight for a plug with every other traveler in a crowded waiting area.

Travel makeup bags get dirty quickly. If she is on the road a lot, she may need an upgrade. I love this travel makeup bag with a separate compartment in the bottom for brushes.

More Christmas Gifts for Women Ideas

GLOVES

Everyone needs a pair of gloves to replace the ones they lost last year.

A 365 Day Perpetual Calendar for her desk or bathroom counter will be an encouragement that lasts the entire year.

TILE BLUETOOTH TRACKERS

A Tile Bluetooth Tracker because “Where did I put my keys?”

BATH BOMBS

A soak in the tub on a winter day with a fragrant bath bomb is heaven

Whether we want to or not we are all spending a lot of time in athleisure wear. These Zella joggers will spice up her work at home wardrobe!

An Essential Oil Diffuser will help her relax and brighten up her room.

Here’s something you might not have thought of…. a subscription to a succulent of the month box.

Dark Chocolate Caramels – Mmmmm…..

PAJAMAS

The best part of winter is fun, cozy pajamas. And there is no such thing as too many.

Classic Hunter Boots are the best in bad weather.

Cozy slippers for the winter are a must. I get a new pair every year because I absolutely wear them out!

SILK PILLOW CASE

How about a luxurious Silk Pillowcase?

CASHMERE SCARF

A beautiful Cashmere Scarf. Nordstrom has many reasonably priced cashmere items.

This monogrammed slate tray is some kinda gorgeous and perfect for making a charcuterie board.

TRIO OF REED DIFFUSERS

This trio of petite Reed Diffusers will give her a diffuser for several rooms.

SCENTED CANDLES

Beautiful scented candles freshen up any room.

7 Best Holiday Planners

7 Best Holiday Planners

Start your engines. It’s list making season.

Gift lists. Meal lists. Grocery lists. Budget lists. Event lists. Lists. Lists. Lists.

Every list reflects decisions made. How much to spend. What to cook. What to buy.

And of course, the most important decision is whether to create all of these lists on paper or your phone, computer, or tablet. (Or a combination.) This is a BIG decision.

I am a combo gal. There is no way I am adding up a column of numbers by hand no matter how cute the piece of paper is where I wrote the numbers down. I normally make my grocery list on the Alexa app, but Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner grocery lists are more complicated and need a piece of paper divided by section in the store.

No matter how you like to plan you can find your ideal planner in this list of 10 Best Holiday Planners.

Graduation Gifts Under $10

I am going to start with the obvious – gift cards. The key to giving gift cards is in the presentation. Buy a stack of coffee shop gift cards and order these adorable completely customizable gift card holders for only 2.47 each from the Almost Empty Nest Store.

cellophane treat bags with gold stars and cookies inside tied with white bow

I can’t say this enough – Presentation is Everything!! These sacks (50 for $8.99) filled with goodies or any of the smaller graduation gifts under $10 on this post and tied with a ribbon and cute card will garner a lot of oohs and ahhs on any gift table. If you plan it right you will even have graduation gifts under $5!

These first aid kits are only $6.99 and every dorm room needs a few bandaids and items for cuts and scrapes. Even with inflation there are still many first aid kits you can give for a graduation gift under $10 and make wonderful inexpensive gift ideas for graduating seniors.

Another minor emergency that can be solved for less than $10 is a missing button or loose hem. Mom and her sewing drawer will not be available in a dorm room or apartment. Give an emergency sewing kit for $6.99.

Another key to giving amazing graduation gifts under $10 each is to buy in bulk. If you buy one acrylic frame, you are over $10. If you buy a set of 5 acrylic frames for $41.99, then they are $8.40 each. Add a special photo of the two of you and you have the best gift on the gift table! A beautiful grad gift under $10.

Is this not a gorgeous jewelry holder and it is only $14.99!! Give her a place to put her earrings and bracelets as she takes them off on her desk or beside her bed.

Are you giving gifts to gals who like to work out? These amazing Invisibobble hair ties have a strong hold, will not damage hair, or get sweat-soaked.

Can you believe this gorgeous chalk board with included chalk marker and 5 magnets is only $12.99.

My daughter and her roommate have several strands of these photo light sets around their dorm room. They are $9.24 each.

There are a lot of inspiring graduation books, but only a handful that you can use as a graduation gift under $10. I Wish You More is a book filled with wishes for the new graduate.

No one says it better than Dr. Suess! in this book of inspirational and funny quotes for $6.00.

The smaller of these grid totes is $11.99. It would be perfect for the guys who do not take as many items to the shower as the girls. The totes have holes in the bottom so they will not collect water.

Help her dress up her planner with this set of 95 college planner stickers. They are only $4.99 on Etsy.

This beautiful and highly rated walnut pen is only $12.59.

Make some Netflix binge night packs with these cute popcorn bowls – $7.95 each or a set of two for $13.95. Add some candy or microwave popcorn for some really fun graduation gifts under $10.
