Best Holiday Gifts for College Students | Gifts They’ll Actually Want!

I work with college aged adults in my volunteer work and for whatever reason, I know a lot of people are intimidated by that age group.  “They’re so technologically advanced!,” “they have everything!,” “they want to save the world!”  All of these are true, but they’re not impossible to shop for.  They enjoy gifts that are funny {LOVE dirty Santa} but also gifts that are thoughtful and useful.  I’ve rounded up some options above to cover any and all college students in your life.

The eyeshadow palette is a new Urban Decay release based on the Born to Run palette {I reviewed the Born to Run collection here!}.  I recently purchased one of the lightning splitters and it has been SO amazing for when I’m working & want to listen to music or a podcast in my headphones while I’m charging.

Best Holiday Gifts for College Students | LillyBee For College Students

Lillybee provides a number of accessories that are perfect for college kids in their school of choice’s college colors.  I think this is such a fun way to gift a stylish piece that they can carry.  I know this bag is perfect for Kentucky basketball games and I would have -loved- a pair of the striped flats back in my college tailgate days.

This crossbody bag is the perfect size and would be cute to gift with a portable phone charger as well! If you’re purchasing any Lillybee, be sure to use code NICOLE30 to save an extra 30% off your purchase through the end of 2018!
