The Christmas holidays are fast approaching, and this year traditional holiday sales will occur earlier than normal. Picking out the perfect gift at the perfect price can seem overwhelming to some, and choosing a unique gift can be even more difficult. From one college freshman to the parents, relatives, and friends of college students, I am here to suggest the perfect gift for your college student.

Coffee is both a social event and an academic lifeline for today’s college student. Many choose to make their own coffee inside their dorms, preparing it just how they like it. There are numerous coffee-related or inspired gifts you could give to a college student; including a mini Keurig, a specialty roast, or another tool that can be used for brewing coffee in their room, such as an espresso machine or French press. I would advise you not to gift them a mug, unless specifically requested, considering the limited storage space inside their dorm.

Being in college is an exciting time, and sporting “Mississippi College” is a privilege afforded to its students and alumni. The Mississippi College bookstore offers exclusive apparel designs and accessories, plus they offer simple online ordering. Pick out a sweatshirt, hat, or t-shirt to gift to your college student this Christmas and have it shipped to your door.

Going out to eat has become as much of a social event as it is a treat, but this habit can grow expensive in college. Providing your college student with a collection of gift cards to local restaurants will undoubtably prove useful. Make sure to research the restaurants and fast food places closest to campus; for Mississippi College, I suggest purchasing gift cards to Smoothie King, Zaxby’s, Sonic, McDonald’s, Newks, and others.
These are just a few ways to bless a college student this Christmas. Happy shopping and Happy Holidays, Choctaws!
Sincerely, MC
