We've got the best of the best for what to gift your college student this year, things they'll love and actually use! Christmas will be here before you know it, so let's dive in!

Christmas Gifts for College Students

Personal Heater

The winters are hard on a kid eating ramen noodles and wearing fuzzy socks from last Christmas as everyday socks to stay warm. Especially if their college of choice was somewhere on the east coast.

Plus, they can take it anywhere! Whether they're hanging out in their dorm room or cramming assignments in the library, they'll always be warm!
