Benefits
Personal Relevance
These gifts are hand-picked by professional retailers, based on the purchases and feedback of other college girls. This ensures that they are age-appropriate and suitable to the needs and tastes of that demographic.
Boost to Daily Routine
Daily routines and mundane tasks can be made more pleasant by using efficient tools, beautiful objects, and meaningful items because of who gave them.
Trendy and Up-to-date
These gifts were chosen with the latest trends in mind, so you can be sure to avoid giving something outdated.
Multi-Occasion Suitability
While curated with Christmas in mind, these gifts are suitable for other occasions too, from birthdays to graduations… or just to show support and care.
Unique Experiences
Many gifts are tangible objects, but the gift of experience is also a great choice for many people. Look at DIY kits, subscriptions to eZines, spa days, trips, or workshops in an area of interest.
Quality Assurance
These gifts are not just stylish, they are designed and constructed, by skilled artisans, to be durable, high-quality items that will continue giving value for years to come.
Creates Connections
Giving a thoughtful gift, that shows you took time and care to choose it for her in particular, will help you to build and grow a bond between the two of you.

How to Choose
Choosing a gift for someone can be daunting, especially if you are in a different stage or situation in life. However, with a little guidance from professionals, you can not only choose the perfect gift, but you can enjoy the process of finding it almost as much as she will enjoy owning it.
Personal Interests
The first thing is to know or get to know her interests. Ask yourself if she is interested in the latest trends in fashion, if she is a bookworm, or perhaps loves to travel. Choosing a gift that supports or reflects one or more of these interests will ensure a great fit.
Academic Needs
If she is in college, then academic success is high on her list of priorities. Consider gifts that support her academic pursuits, such as highlighters, study planners, or academic software suitable to her area and level. A good motivational book or piece of desk art might also be appreciated.
Dorm & Living Essentials
Something to make her dorm room a little cozier and home-like can lift her spirits when things are tough. Fairly lights, wall art, sheet sets, and fuzzy throw blankets can add both personality and comfort to an otherwise stark dorm room.
Other living essentials, like personal care kits, compact gadgets for making food, and laundry care items are also popular.
Experience Gifts
If you prefer to give an experience, consider classes or workshops in areas of her interest. Pottery, painting, and other art pursuits need supplies; high-quality items will be highly appreciated.
Streaming services, or monthly food or snack boxes are also welcome gifts to the busy – and often cash-strapped – college student. Finally, consider exclusive concert tickets, theater seats, or a great seat for a major sporting event.
Health & Fitness
Speaking of sports, the athlete on your list might appreciate a luxury water bottle, yoga mat, or premium earphones for working out or meditating. If she already has all the gear she needs, and the school provides a gym, consider purchasing some personal coaching time so she can hone her skills and fitness level.
Mindfulness Boosters
College life can be stressful, but a high-quality oil diffuser, incense burner, or other mood-enhancing tool can provide a constant, soothing boost to mood and atmosphere.
Personal Style & Aesthetics
Consider her personal style before choosing a final item. Notice if she prefers bright colors and patterns, or muted, subtle lines and hues. Is her aesthetic quirky and artsy, dark and brooding, or upscale and elegant?
Rather than give her something that you think she should like, choose something you think she would choose for herself – she will be much more likely to appreciate and use it.
Sustainability
Many people prefer – or even demand – eco-friendly products when they shop for themselves, so it might be best to choose sustainable and ethical products for her in case this is a new or long-standing priority in her life.
Personal Growth & Development
College is about developing the mind, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to neglect developing other areas of a whole person. The gift of language learning platforms, personal development courses or coaching, or classes to enhance skills and interests, is a nice augmentation to academic study.
Tech Upgrades
Many college students can’t afford to upgrade devices, even though current technologies might increase efficiency and success in studies. Giving the latest device can give them this advantage without the financial strain.
Other devices, such as noise-canceling headphones, can assist in studies in noisy dorms or cafes, allowing her to dive in and focus, regardless of a little background distraction.
Space Savers
Dorms and college housing often mean very limited space, so compact gifts are probably more appropriate than larger ones. You might even consider a gift that makes the most of limited space, like a cleverly designed storage unit that doubles as a bed, chair, or table.
Subscription Services
Subscription services can give her a regular break from the rigors of study and social life, and they don’t take up any room. Consider book of the month clubs, meal or snack subscriptions, or fashion eZines that keep her updated with the latest trends.
Local Experiences
Has she gone to study in a distant place? A great way to familiarize her with a new city is to give the gift of a local tour or experience. Knowing about a few local gems might also assist her socially, giving her some inside information and local secrets to share when making new friends.
Safety First
It may not be glamorous, but giving the gift of safety and personal security may add immense value. A portable personal alarm, premium bike lock, or other security or emergency device can come in very handy in avoiding negative outcomes.

Types
Within this demographic, handbags are high on the list of desirable items. Within the category of handbags, however, there is still quite a wide range of types, each with advantages and settings in which they fit best. Let’s dive deeper into this category and explore some types of offers.
Backpacks
Made for maximum comfort when carrying a load and providing hands-free convenience, backpacks are not just for hiking and shopping without regard for personal style; backpacks now can be high-fashion items.
With whimsical, beautiful, and even elegant designs on offer, backpack-style bags are found in settings from the classroom to the red carpet.
Tote Bags
With a simple open-top design and dual handles, these bags top the casual bag list for many women. Easy access and fuss-free care make them ideal for shopping, brunch, or even carrying necessities to a lecture hall or classroom.
Crossbody Bags
Another hands-free option, the crossbody bag is a casual style suitable for moving significant amounts of things across campus, to and from school, and more.
Messenger Bags
Available in casual, more formal, upscale styles, the messenger bag can be used as a hands-free shoulder bag or carried by handles like a tote. They function like a blend of the backpack and tote, combining the best of each into one item, with little sacrifice.
Clutches
Perhaps not the most practical of bags, the clutch nonetheless remains popular due to its outsized fashion punch. Few items make as powerful a statement as a sleek leather clutch with a casual look or a sparkling, elegant clutch as part of a formal outfit.
They may be small, but they are the heavy hitters of luxury bag fashion.
Gym Bags
Just because the purpose of a bag is to move sometimes-sweaty clothes back and forth from home, doesn’t mean it can’t be done with style. These bags are spacious, often vented, and designed to suit the fashion sense of an athletic environment.

Alternatives
You might have a general idea of what you want to give her but haven’t yet hit the mark. If that’s the case, perhaps a few suggestions of alternatives to popular items are in order.
Academic Essentials
If you want something that directly supports her studies, but she already has her laptop, tablet, and stationary needs are taken care of, perhaps something from the experience category – but tied to study – would suit better.
You could pay for a tutor or academic support service, giving her an edge when she’s doing well, and additional help for areas in which she may struggle.
Dorm Room Décor
If her dorm room is already fully furnished, but you want to increase the coziness of her home setting, then consider some artwork that incorporates people and places from home. Music, scents, and other ambience-related items add a deeper layer to the home atmosphere.
Fashion & Accessories
If she already has all of the clothing she could need, but you want to give her something without risking a duplicate, consider a custom design, like a hand-painted sneaker or handbag, or a custom outfit from a local designer.
Tech Gadgets
If her life revolves around tech, but you know she already has top-end devices and peripherals, you could give her items to highlight her prized possessions instead.
Consider premium leather cases or sleeves for devices, leather-trimmed headphones, personalized to her, or even luxury cable cases to elevate the tangle of wires into a sleek or luxurious box, tidy and calming.
Wellness & Self-Care
A big part of wellness and self-care is diet, so if she is already equipped with skin care and cosmetic sets, diffusers, and that type of thing, consider giving a high-end blender for smoothies and health drinks, or health-oriented cooking classes of subscriptions.
Travel & On-the-Go
If she is an avid traveler, but already has high-quality luggage and goods, consider small-scale or collapsible items, like a collapsible water bottle, an inflatable neck pillow, or a luxury customized passport holder.
Post Purchase Considerations
Diverse Preferences
One student might want a luxurious handbag, while another wants a new tennis racquet – what to do? Familiarize yourself with her interests and hobbies. Ask one of her close friends or a family member for their opinion of your choice.
Age Appropriateness
Is the item too mature for her, or perhaps too youthful? A classic item is a good way to go if you aren't sure. These designs are appreciated over a wide age and interest range, and remain in style from year to year.
If you aren’t sure what a classic style is, our customer service team is happy to help with recommendations.
Usage in College Life
To ensure that an item is useful in a college situation, even if you aren’t familiar with current college life, just think of it in the context of work. Items that would be useful in a contemporary office setting and have a youthful vibe are likely to suit the setting well.
Cultural & Personal Sensitivities
A leather gift will not suit a vegan, nor a bottle of wine a non- or under-age drinker. To ensure your gift fits the culture and personal sensitivities of the recipient, you’ll need to know her well or ask for help from her close family and friends.
Budget Concerns
Don’t worry if your budget is limited and you can’t afford some of the higher-priced items on the list; a carefully and thoughtfully chosen gift will convey the same meaning and sentiment, even if the price tag is lower.
Add value by personalizing an item and ensuring that it fits the needs and tastes of the recipient – that is where the greatest value lies.
