Struggling to think of what to add to your Christmas list this year? Well, here are some ideas to get your list started.
Mini color printer
For those in college, this is amazing. It connects right to your phone and prints out any pictures you want. It is a lot easier and cheaper than printing pictures through a store. It prints them out in a cute size that can fit anywhere from your room to your phone case.
Disposable camera
Disposable cameras take the best photos. College is all about documenting your time here and in the now. What better way to do it with a disposable camera. It is an easy way to spice up your Instagram feed with a fun picture rather than the boring pictures that your phones take.

Silk pillowcase
Silk pillowcases are something everyone needs to have. They are not only good for your skin but your hair too! Plus, they are so comfortable to lay on when you’re tying to get some sleep.
Essential oil diffuser
Essential oil diffusers are a fun way to make your room smell good, without overdoing it. I love diffusers because they come in such cute shapes and sizes, and you can change the scent whenever you want.

Makeup brush cleaner
Makeup brushes are easily ignored and hold a lot of dirt and bacteria. I know I don’t wash my makeup brushes nearly enough, so this will be on my list. They make mats, but they also have ones that can kill bacteria with UV light.

Ice face roller
An ice roller is an easy way to feel better in the mornings. It helps you feel more awake and depuffs your morning face: it’s a total game changer.
Nail kit
Nail kits are essential because who has time during the school year to go and get their nails done? No one. Especially if you’re at college and don’t have a car or an easy way to get to a nail salon, doing them in your dorm is easier and much cheaper.

A GOOD Portable charger
We are constantly on our phones and after a long day my phone is usually dead or close to dead, so invest in a good portable charger that will give you plenty of charge. There are even portable chargers that can plug directly into your phone, so you don’t need to carry around that annoyingly long cord.
A mini projector
This is perfect for a dorm room movie night. All you need is a wall and the projector. Forget the bulky and use this is better alternative.
Keurig Machine
A Keurig is the most convenient and easy coffee machines out there.. The newer ones even have options to make iced coffee. But if you don’t like coffee, you can make plenty of other drinks with it: chai, tea, etc., or if you just need the hot water. These Keurig’s are small and can fit almost anywhere, and they’re more than affordable for the average college student.

Amazon prime subscription
If you don’t already have Amazon Prime, you need it. Free delivery and next day shipping is the best thing to exist as a college student.

Weighted blanket
If you have never tried a weighted blanket, you are missing out. It feels like a big hug at night, helping you fall asleep quicker and relieving anxiety.
A high-quality phone case
A new phone case is always a nice way to make a change and add a little refresh to the same phone you use every day. Plus, a high-quality case will save your phone from all those drops.

Lip oils
Lip oil is a trend right now, and I’m here for it. Lip oil is so much better because it hydrates the lips, instead of drying them out like a lip gloss does.
