Our Top Gifts for College Girls
Gift Ideas Under $10
Wireless Charger
I’m pretty sure 95% of the people in the world have a smart phone these days, so you really can’t go wrong with getting a wireless charger! It is so convenient to just pop your phone on this and not have to plug it in.
String Lights
I literally didn’t go a single year in college without my string lights! They are basically a dorm essential in my mind and I have yet to meet a college girl who doesn’t love them. So despite this being so cheap, it would be a great gift!
Guided Journal
If the girl you are buying a gift for is into inspiration women then this would be such a thoughtful gift. Who isn’t inspired by Michelle Obama?! Not going to lie, there are a handful of things I want on this list and this is one of them. Too bad I already have a million journals I have yet to get past page three… lol.
Burt’s Bees Kit
Burt’s Bees is an easy gift because it is such a popular brand and no one wants chapped lips! This would be great to add to a gift basket for birthday or Christmas for any college girl.
Zodiac Necklace
I’m a big fan of thoughtful gifts and this is definitely cute and personalized to give any college girl. I’m a Sagittarius so that is why I put the picture of this one, but they have one for every birthday on Amazon!
Tech Gifts for College Girls
Echo Dot with Alexa
This is another thing that so many people have and love, so if she doesn’t have one already this is such a great idea! They are also pretty cheap these days compared to when I got my first Echo Dot. I remember them being around $50 a couple years ago but this one is much cheaper than that now!
Tile Mate Keys Finder & Item Locator
Who doesn’t have trouble keeping track of their keys or the Roku remote, am I right?! 🙋🏽♀️ This nifty little tech gift totally eliminates that problem. She will thank you tons when she realizes she went 3 months instead of 3 days without loosing her remote!
Charging Station for Multiple Devices
This is SO convenient! Remember when I said there are a handful of things on this list I want for myself? This is another! Having a million wires for all the things is annoying and this makes charging everything look so much less cluttered. A great tech gift for sure.
Anker Portable Charger
Okay, not to be repetitive or anything but chargers are like the life line to the number one thing we can’t live without these days. So chargers in all forms are awesome and necessary to add to the list! I had to refrain myself from not adding the phone chargers with the really long cables haha. These portable chargers are nice for when you have an older phone that can’t seem to hold charge for more than a few hours anymore.
Bluetooth Keyboard
If she has an iPad but not a keyboard yet, then this would be a really cool gift. I’m obsessed with this color that it comes in, but there are many other options if she isn’t a fan of pink!
Gifts for the Dorm Room
Keuring
I didn’t drink coffee until college and now I am addicted. Like get a headache by noon if I don’t have a cup kind of addicted 😅. This is small and compacts so it would be a great addition to her dorm room!
Bedside Caddy Bag
Fun fact, I always wanted on of these when I was in college and never got one! I totally regret it and low key, I may just end up with one in my totally not dorm room room haha. What can I say, I’m lazy and it is convenient to have everything within arms reach! She will love this for sure if she doesn’t already have one.
Reading Pillow
Not kidding, I also wanted one of these throughout college and never got one! What was wrong with me?! 😂
LED Letter Light
These are quite popular for dorm rooms just like the string lights! You can even get it even more personalized with having her whole name on it.
Mini Fridge
Because who wants to walk ALL the way to the cafeteria to get a cold drink or snack? I sure didn’t! This would definitely be a great dorm room gift for a college girl.
Gifts for the Girl Who Loves Taking Pictures
These gifts for college girls are perfect if the girl you are buying for is really into social media (TikTok or Instagram), making YouTube videos, or just constantly taking pictures to capture all the great college memories she is making.
Phone Holder Bed Gooseneck Mount
Have you every tried to prop your phone up just right with five boxes, a step stool, and a random item because you don’t have someone to take a cute pic of you and your friends? She probably has if she doesn’t have this awesome, flexible phone holder 😂. I know I have!
Felt Letter Board
These are popular for dorm rooms, but also for taking Instagram photos! I love them because you can change it as many times and as often as you please.
Phone Printer
Okay, you are the coolest person ever if you get this gift. If she takes a lot of pictures and heads to Walgreens or Walmart to get them printed out every so often the she will LOVE this gift! They have decently priced computer printers that will print out pictures, but there is only so much space in a dorm room.
Ring Light
Great for YouTubers or influencers! Gotta get that quality lighting!
Personalized Gifts for College Girls
Made by Mary Necklace
Made by Mary is the cutest brand for jewelry! I have multiple rings and bracelets from this brand and the college girl you are buying for will be sure to love just about anything from this brand. If she is a fan of dainty/minimalist jewelry, she will love this.
Drink Tumbler
These are super popular and inexpensive! A great way to personalize your gifts.
Scented Candles
There is something about having a room that smells amazing. Most girls are big fans of scented candles and having it personalized is like the icing on the cake.
Coffee Mug
If she is like me and went to a college far from home, then she will be sure to love a gift like this! I made something similar for my friends in college and she still has it to this day!
Name Bracelet
This is so cute! I’m a big fan of dainty gold jewelry and the same goes for many girls in college.
Gifts for the Fashionista
Made by Mary Bracelet
Okay, I couldn’t help but put ONE more gold jewelry gift idea because I have this bracelet and I’m obsessed. Out of the three, I highly suggest getting this for her if you want to gift her some jewelry!
Sperry Boots
A lot of girls love the Sperry brand, (me included 🙋🏽♀️) so this would be a great gift. Especially if she is going to college somewhere that happens to rain a lot!
Michael Kors Crossbody Bag
You will get a million brownie points if you get this for her for Christmas, birthday, or graduation. I’m not kidding, so many college girls LOVE crossbody bags. It is the most convenient way to carry around the essentials whenever you are out and about.
Cute North Face Rain Jacket
Another thing I regret not getting when I was in college. It rained SO much and every single year I would say I would get boots and rain jacket. Yet, every single year I didn’t and got soaked to death walking across campus to class 🤷♀️.
Makeup Mirror & Brushes
Great for a girl who is big into makeup! These mirrors that magnify are a million times better than she would have in her dorm bathroom. And even if she already has a brush set, it might be old. For sanitary sake it is good to get new ones every so often so you can’t go wrong with this gift idea!
Practical Gifts for College Girls
Cute Backpack
Probably the most practical gift of all for a girl in college! Even if she has a backpack already, it is always fun to get a new and cuter one!
Blue Light Blocking Glasses
I would bet money that more than 90% of girls in college scroll on their phone for quite a while before bed. These blue light blocking glasses are an awesome gift idea for college girls!
Express Electric Cooker for Ramen
This is a MUST-HAVE for the college dorm life! She can eat ramen every day with this nifty dorm addition!
Electric Wine Opener
If the college girl is over 21 then please get her this so she can avoid searching for a knife because she doesn’t have a wine opener yet even though she drinks wine all the time and ends up cutting her finger one day… Yes, I’m talking about me… It would be a great gift!! LOL
Desk Organizer
So many books in college and so little space. These are great for adding to the desk in her dorm room to keep all her boots and notebooks organized!
Clothes Steamer
I’m not sure that many college girls would ever want to iron their clothes, but they also don’t want their favorite cute blouse to be super wrinkly! My mom got this for me in college and it was sooooo wonderful to have!
Self Care Gifts for College Girls
These are for the busy bee college girls that need a gift to help them unwind, relax, and refresh! These are sure to be popular gifts for many college girls!
Facial Kit
This would be especially nice because she can share with her friends and/or roommate and they can have a fun girls night!
Gel Nail Kit
No money to go the nail salon? No problem! Gel nails are the perfect solution so she never has to be bummed she doesn’t have the money to get her nails done.
Shower Steamers
Usually, bath bombs would be a good idea but she probably doesn’t have a bath if she lives in the dorms with communal bathrooms. Of course, there is a nifty solution to everything though! These would be a great self care gift for the shower!
Jade Roller and Gua Sha Set
Not going to lie, I have no idea what the point of these are. Preventing wrinkles? IDK. I just know it is popular and if she is into beauty stuff she will love this self care gift!
Spike Ball
Okay, self care is totally not just about having an at home spa relaxation night. It is also about getting outside and hanging out with friends so you can forget about the stress of your studies. A perfect way to do just that is to play Spike Ball on the quad, making this an amazing gift to give!

Best of luck with your gifting! These gifts for college girls will be sure to impress whoever you are buying for!
