Have a girlfriend or boyfriend who’s in college? Are you in college yourself? Need a great gift idea that isn’t too dorky and is within your tight budget.
Online music gift certificates. Everyone has their favorite place online for music. Get them a gift certificate for their favorite site so they can add some new songs or albums to their collections.
Treat your partner to a night out off campus. You both probably spend so much time on campus. Treat your boyfriend or girlfriend to a night off-campus that you both can enjoy without bumping into ten million people that you both know.
Sport for some clothes from your school or your partner’s favorite school. Does your boyfriend or girlfriend have a favorite school sports team? Do they love the school they currently attend? Treat him or her to a sweatshirt from the gift shop, something from an online seller, or even the college line from Victoria Secret.
Buy a book by your partner’s favorite author. Being in college exposes most students to new and totally fabulous authors. Treat your girlfriend or boyfriend to a book by a new author they’ve recently discovered.
Print out a hard copy of a picture of you together. You have all these pictures together, on facebook, on your cell phones, on your computers. But what about a nice, hard-copy printout with a nice frame? Check with online photo places for great deals.
Give your girlfriend or boyfriend something that will make their college life easier. It may not sound romantic at first, but getting that little gadget a better bike lock, a jump drive, a wireless mouse that your boyfriend or girlfriend has been wanting may make them incredibly happy. As an added bonus, they’ll think of you every time they use it and remember your gesture of kindness.
