Some Serious Stocking Stuffers From Santa

Amanda | December 16, 2008

You may have done your holiday shopping and picked out all your gifts with great care. You may have even sorted through everything and wrapped them all up. But have you filled the stockings yet? What can you do for last-minute stocking stuffer ideas? I’ve got the solution for you right here. Your college-age kids will love these simple, yet exciting holiday ideas.

Accessorize in Pink
It’s always necessary to protect your nice things, especially your electronics. That’s why Otterbox makes great heavy-duty products to protect important electronics, like your iPod Nano or iPhone. What’s even better about Otterbox’s Strength line is that the cases are pink (perfect for girls) and benefit the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade so 10 percent of the cost goes to breast cancer research. Do your part – protect and spice up an accessory, while doing good for others!

Price: Cases range from $15-$49.95 in the Strength collection.

I’ll Tumble For Ya…
Running around campus is tough and exhausting. Be sure to keep your college-age kids hydrated with the Tervis Tumbler. This plastic bottle will keep any liquid safe from ruining all notes and textbooks in the case of some accidental spillage. There are lots of options with the Tervis Tumbler. You can pick different sizes, colors, and you can even have it personalized with initials, icons, or a variety of collegiate symbols.

Price: A 16 oz. tumbler with collegiate icon, lid, and set of straws runs about $18, plus tax.

Pick What You’d Like
When all else fails, you know your recipient will enjoy a gift card. With virtually every store issuing and accepting gift cards these days, they are the perfect stocking stuffer: small enough in size to fit in a stocking and big enough in quality to fit in your college-age kid’s life. The Gift Card Mall is the perfect place to get your gift cards. In December they ship for free so check ‘em out before it’s too late!

Price: Depends on store and how much you want to spend. Usually priced in increments of $10 or $25.

Let There Be Light
For those late-night study sessions when the roommate is asleep, it’s best to keep roommate relations high by not causing a ruckus. Mr. Brightside is helpful for just that and is very convenient for computer usage as it plugs right into a USB port. Providing just the right amount of light to be able to see the keyboard, Mr. Brightside is compact and handy. It also comes in fun colors.
