Christmas Gifts for the College Students

christmas gifts

With two sons in college this year, the gift selections are going to be a lot different than in previous years.  Although their stockings will still be filled with the traditional Pez Dispensers, toothbrushes and socks, this year’s gifts will be specific to their needs and not their wants.  Malik lives in the dormitory at Bowie State University so here are the gifts that I have selected for him:

Mini Keurig

he is not a coffee drinker so I will include Tea K-cups

mini keureg

Tide Pods

these are so much easier to carry down to the laundry room as opposed to a large bottle of detergent

I won’t forget the quarters

 Rapid Ramen Noodles Cooker for the Microwave

this is a new product that I may have to buy for myself – I still eat Ramen Noodles, so don’t judge!

Heavy Hooded Jacket  

walking across campus in the cold snow, rain and winds, he’ll definitely need a heavy, insulated jacket, gloves and hat

Heavy hooded jacket to wear as he walks across the yard

men's winter hats

 

 

Tayair on the other hand lives at home and drives to the University of Delaware.  He, however, catches a shuttle bus and also walks on campus so he’ll also need a heavy winter jacket, hat and gloves, along with these items:

Headphones

shuttle buses run pretty regularly but while sitting in the bus shelter he can listen to music or a podcast while he waits

headphones

Gaming Chair

the chair he has now is flat on the floor causing him to look up, so, a style like this would eliminate the back strain that he must be feeling

X-Rocker-Pro2

 

In addition to a few gift cards and  gas money I’ll also get them a few Avon products including a fragrance gift set and new slippers which they both need.

Avon Men Gift Set

Avon Mens Slippers

Now I guess it’s time to start working on a list for hubby, but he’s easy to shop for.

Have you started shopping for gifts yet?

Last Minute Shopping at The “W”

‘Twas 4 days before Christmas and all through the house not a gift was purchased…no not one…nothing even wrapped.  Was I in a panic…no, not me…no mall trip to navigate no whoa is me!  I jumped in the Sonata and drove down the street, parked and got out and entered the big “V”…oh I mean the “W” Walgreens.  

Long gone are the days of Santa and toys, I now have mini-men, they are no longer little boys.  Safety and Life Skills are things that they need, a job application and gas money will be under the tree!  ‘Tis the season for a few little gifts so they’ll have something to unwrap when they finally roll out of bed….after 12 noon if that!

Gifts from Walgreens

Pockets and Walgreens before Christmas 053

 A Polaroid Tablet for Son #1, he can take notes in class, read a book or just have fun.

Old Spice

Wrestling, lifting, or just watching TV…they definitely both needed one of these!

Son #2 is up texting all night so he needs help in getting up and a Bluetooth for no talking while driving (I know it didn’t rhyme this time).

Docking Station and Alarm Clock What to get hubby…oh boy…what does he need…nothing really, except maybe me!  Can’t go wrong with a gift card…one or maybe two and with Walgreen’s big selection that wasn’t too hard to do.

Food and drinks and a trip to Lowe’s will fit the bill, added a little Dove Body Wash and all is chill.

Last minute gifts are sure to be found and if you need any assistance just look around, or maybe someone will greet you as soon as you walk in the door.

 I am so glad to finally be done, no stress…no hassle…actually it was kinda fun!

Now it’s time to head home and wrap up these gifts and place them neatly under our beautifully decorated tree!

If you have any last minute gift buying to do head over to your local Walgreens as most stores are open until midnight.

Happy Holidays!
