This gift guide for college girls was hand-selected by my own 21 (almost 22) year old daughter. These are all the things that she loves and owns, or would love to own! Some of them are pricey, but some of them are under $100.
Clothing + Accessories
A+F Curve Love Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean: On-trend 90’s-style ultra high rise straight jeans in signature Curve Love fit with built-in stretch for superior comfort featuring the highest rise that sits at your natural waist and looks great with your shirt tucked or untucked. Curve Love features an additional 2″ through the hip and thigh to help eliminate waist-gap. With refined details and a vintage feel from top to bottom, this style features a full length leg, medium wash and frayed hem. My daughter liked the ‘medium’ wash. These jeans run snug.
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Pant with Pockets 28″: These leggings were originally made for yoga, but most of the girls wear them daily for everyday activities. They are buttery soft, and light as a cloud. The leggings are a high rise fit, and are brushed for a soft warm feel. My daughter highly recommends these. Most of her leggings are in black, and she wears them daily to class. These leggings run snug.
HOKA Women’s Clifton 8 Running Shoes: I believe these are the new ‘it’ sneakers for the girls. That being said, they are actually a great running shoe option! They are lightweight, and have maximum cushioning. It has a streamlined silhouette, and comes in lots of colors. They run true to size.
Cashmere Bed Socks: I’ve featured these socks on other gift guides, but I think they’d be a great stocking stuffer for college aged girls! They are super soft, and come in an oatmeal color. I’m sure they’d wear them with their Birks!
School Stuff
Back to Life Sport Bottle 32oz: This bottle is my daughter’s favorite! It has a leak proof lid, and slip free texture to keep it from falling from your hand. It comes in lots of colors, but again she likes the white.
City Adventurer Backpack 20L: My daughter has this backpack and loves it. She said it has held up well over the past year. It has water-repellent fabric, and pockets on the inside for all the essentials. Also, it has a large exterior pocket for a laptop. This backpack comes in lots of color options.
Home + Apartment Accessories
Electronics
Ninja 4qt Air Fryer – Black: Air fry with up to 75% less fat than traditional frying methods. The girls in my daughter’s house LOVE it! I believe they use it daily (when not eating out). This brand has nearly 5 stars, and 1,000 good reviews. I’m tempted to get one for our house too.
Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler Complete Long: This system is truly ‘complete’! It comes with nine different attachments that do everything from curl, to straighten, and volumize your hair. This can all be stored in the travel pouch or the presentation case. It has great reviews online.
Dyson V8: My daughter has a large, furry German Shepard mix dog that sheds ALOT. Thus, she needs vacuum cleaner that helps manage all the hair! (her hair included). She raves about this vacuum! It is cordless, lightweight, and powerful. This would also make a great engagement or wedding gift!
Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones: I forgot to add these headphones to the graphic, but I wanted to include them in the gift guide! Again, I think these are one of this year’s ‘it’ techie gadgets that all the ‘kids’ are wanting. (Also, I’m linking these to Amazon!). These headphones are sleek and lightweight. They pair and work seamlessly with the i-phone. Also, they are noise-canceling! Finally, they come in 4 different color options.
Home Decor
Anthropologie’s Vatteret Jersey Quilt: Talk about pillowy softness… This quilted comforter is puffy and ultra plush. The quilting is in a modern pattern, perfect for any twenty-something’s bedroom!
Barefoot Dreams ‘In the Wild’ throw: What kind of mom would I be if I didn’t link this iconic throw in this gift guide??? It is super soft, lightweight, and machine washable. Basically, it’s a college kids dream! Enough said.
Jewelry Travel Case: This small jewelry travel case is perfect for keeping all the necklaces, rings, bracelets etc safe and sound while our girls are traveling back and forth to college or friends houses. It’s the perfect size to throw into a weekender bag or tote! This one comes with a cute initial.
Finally, these are just a few things that have caught my daughter’s attention. I’ll also be posting a ‘stocking stuffer’ gift guide for college students within the next couple of weeks! Make sure you are subscribed to the blog so that you don’t miss it!
