Best Gifts For College Girls

FYI Holiday Shoppers: College Girls Desperately Want All of These Fun Gifts This Year

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

College students love coming home because they get completely spoiled by home-cooked meals, people who do their laundry for them, and not to mention, all the time that they can finally catch up on some much-needed sleep. As far as coming home for the holidays go, this is one of the few times of the year that these students can finally get exactly what they need for the upcoming semester. Make sure you give the undergrad on your list the perfect present this year to fully prepare them for the rest of the school year ahead.

From empowering pens to chic backpacks and even to yummy "Brain Butter," these gifts address all the needs of the college gal that you're shopping for. Oh, and they are all under $75!
