For most college students, Christmas is a conflicting holiday. We want to get gifts for our friends, even when the funds aren’t always present. This is why many students end up buying cheap gifts because they’re on a budget. Buying cheap gifts isn’t a problem, but the quality of the gift is.
Here are 10 gifts under $20 that anyone will enjoy. Some may cost more after shipping, but seeing a smile on your friend’s face when they open up one of these fantastic gifts is worth it.
1. LED Cube Clock – $10.99
For anyone interested in the minimalist-style room, this clock is the perfect fit for the bedside table.
2. 100 Books Scratch-off Poster – $18
This poster displays 100 classic books, including “The Great Gatsby” and “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Once you have read a book, you scratch off the square which reveals iconic artwork from the book. It’s great gift for avid readers.
3. Puppy Selfie Stick – $13
For lovers of dogs and selfies, this selfie stick stands out from all the rest. It has an attachment at the top to fit a tennis ball in, to get your dog’s attention. This gift will let you take the most photogenic selfies with your dog.
4. EasyAcc Portable Charger – $19.99
As a personal user of the item, this charger can be stored in a bag or purse and charge your phone without an outlet. If fully charged, it can charge your phone back to 100 percent up to four times before dying. This is a great gift for any travelers or anyone that frequently goes out.
5. Mini-Travel Iron – $12.99
If you like to look your best, this mini-travel iron can be stored in a bag like the portable charger. It heats up to temperatures similar to a regular-sized iron, so you can easily get the wrinkles out of a shirt or pair of pants while on-the-go.
6. Starburst Single Flavor 1-Pound Bag – $10.16
There is a solution for the people who only like one flavor of a particular candy. On Amazon, you can get a 1-pound bag of your favorite flavor. Now, your friend won’t have to ask you to pick out a particular color from your own stash.
7. Pet Hoodies – $10
If you want your dog to look even more fashionable when using the selfie stick, put a pet hoodie on them. This item can be bought for cats as well, but only purchase it if your pet doesn’t mind wearing clothes.
8. Wireless Bluetooth Beanie – $8.99
Instead of purchasing AirPods, this beanie allows you to listen to music on-the-go, without having to wear any sort of earpiece. It’s the perfect gift for a winter walk in the park.
9. Folding Bedside Shelf – $15.99
This item sticks under your mattress and hangs out, allowing users to place items on it such as a book or phone. If there isn’t enough room for a nightstand or bedside table, this is the perfect solution.
10. Bed Prism Glasses – $9.99
Another great gift for the nighttime, these glasses allow you to read a book or look at your phone while lying down. The glasses are helpful for anyone that has limited mobility, and prevent neck cramps and eye strain.
