It’s been a long and treacherous first semester of the school year, but you made it! By now, you’re probably on your third or fourth mental breakdown this week while in the midst of studying for all those upcoming finals! Right? Believe us, we’ve been there, done that!
On a much more positive note, the end of the semester also means that it’s the start of the holiday season. Time to get all geared up and ready to fulfill all your Christmas needs! But what’s a poor broke college student to do when it comes to securing the perfect gifts for the squad? Spencer’s has all the answers for you right here!
College is full of all different types of characters. You’ll meet some of the most interesting people you’ve ever met, and also meet some of the strangest. As a result, shopping for individualized Christmas gifts becomes challenging. So prepare to take some notes, because we’re going to give you a full rundown of all the Christmas gift giving suggestions that we have for all the different types of people in your life at school.
So without any further delay, here is Spencer’s 2019 Ultimate Christmas Gift Giving Guide: College Edition:
For the Way Too Serious Frat Bro
Holidays are for the boys! Nowadays everyone thinks they’re a frat superstar, when in reality they’re actually just a huge douche. Be the ultimate bro this Christmas when you get your bro a gift that totally screams “You’re my bro!” What bro doesn’t love Rick and Morty t-shirts and apparel? No bro of ours! Enjoy a Saturday with the boys by gifting your bro one of our many beer bongs, and beer pong tables. Or help a bro out and make the frat house way more bro-y when you light up the room with one of our totally sick lava lamps. Bro do you even bro, bro?!
For the Basic Sorority Girl
Every Big needs a Little, and every Little needs a Big–Just like every sorority girl needs their wine! Enjoy a relaxing Wine Wednesday with the girls after you get them a stemless wine glass as a Christmas gift. Not in the mood for wine? Get them Thirsty Thursday ready with some of our premium shot glasses and body jewelry. That morning after the jungle juice is too real so make sure your sis has her coffee in the morning by gifting her the perfect coffee mug. It’ll come in real handy the next time they have to wake up for that Friday 8am.
For the Closet Nerd
You know that guy. You’ve seen him in your economics class, and you’ve seen him at the local frat house. He always seems to fit in with the squad and is overall just a cool guy. At least that’s what you thought at first glance, but deep down your friend totally enjoys being a total closet nerd, and they would love nothing more than some awesome Anime gear for their holiday. They’ll have a complete inner nerdgasm over some of our official Dragon Ball Z t-shirts and Naruto fleece blankets along with some of our officially licensed My Hero Academia merch! Add to the fun by getting them officially licensed gaming t-shirts or officially licensed PlayStation merch. If gaming’s not their thing then they’ll love some officially licensed merch from their favorite comic book, TV shows, and movie characters.
For the Student Athlete
Dehydration is the enemy. Make sure your athletic friends are well hydrated and ready to take on any challenge when you help them get refueled by gifting them a shaker bottle or water bottle. Hydration backpacks are also a practical gift for any athletes to take on road games, and they look really great too! Whether your pal is on the D-1 basketball team or is an intramural sports hero, you can be sure that these gifts won’t disappoint. We can all have hoop dreams, can’t we?
For the Thirsty Thursday Warrior
What better reason to celebrate than Thirsty Thursday? It’s a holiday every week as far as this person is concerned! The pregame starts as soon as class lets out for the day, so make sure they’re prepared when you gift them a discreet flask. Start the pregame with some shots or down a cold brew with some of our shot glasses and pint glasses before the party. Only those who survive Thirsty Thursday know that there ain’t no party like the after party.
For The One Who Gets Way Too High
“Dude, do I smell?” “Nah you’re good, how about me?” “Nah dude, your good too.” *Two guys who totally smell* You can never tell if this guy is really tired or just constantly high. Let them show off their 4/20 pride with some of our Rasta ashtrays, leaf hats, leaf socks, and more! Every stoner needs some cool décor to add some good vibes to the crib! Help add to the room by gifting them some of our posters, Rasta fleece blankets and various tapestries.
For the Mom in the Friend Group
Someone has to be accountable for the drunk college students at 2 a.m. while they stumble their way back into their dorms. It’s a shitty job, but it’s one that’s necessary. It’s the responsible friend, of course! Staying in is her specialty, so show your appreciation and make it all the more comfortable by gifting them some of our officially licensed fleece blankets and slippers. Make their job easier with one of our many cups with straws so they can have emergency water on deck. You’ll be glad you got it for them when you’re the one drunkenly sipping from the cup one night.
For the Friend with Way Too Much Work to Do
Help your friend keep it together when you comfort them with some of our hilarious drinkware to allow them to take the edge off. The holidays and finals are stressful AF! Gift them one of our various wineglasses or pint glasses so they can relax after another crazy week of school! Too early to turn up? Start their morning off with one of our many coffee mugs to brighten up their day and get it started right!
For the Wannabe Rapper
We all know this friend who plugs their music any chance they get. And although they haven’t made it yet, they’re still grinding for that big feature that’s going to put them on. In the meantime, support their rap dreams by gifting them some merch from their favorite rappers with officially licensed music t-shirts and music posters. If you’re lucky, you might even get a shout out on their next big single!
For the Cutie In the Dorm Down the Hall
It’s the holidays, which means cuffing season is in full swing and that cutie down the hall has been throwing you looks ever since move-in day! Take advantage of the opportunity and get them a gift that’ll sweep them off their feet. Our collection of Stranger Things and Friends merch will really get them in the mood to chill.
For the Total Loner
The truly anti-social type. They only really leave their dorm to eat and go to class. It’s not that they can’t make friends, it’s just that they’d rather be alone. They have no issue with staying in and playing video games or endlessly browsing the internet for the night. Any way they can pass the time is fine, as long as no one’s bothering them. So whether they’re into gaming, watching The Office, or something in between, we’ll definitely have something to make them smile!
For the Constant Napper
There’s no such thing as a sleep schedule when it comes to the constant napper. According to them, any time is nap time! Help your friend get ready for a nap when you gift them one of our super comfy fleece blankets and a pair of slippers. Make sure they have sweet dreams when you add some extra décor to their room by gifting them a groovy lava lamp or a colorful dreamcatcher as a Christmas gift.
For the Dorm Room Prankster
There’s always that roommate who plays way too much. Sometimes you just want to chill and they just won’t take the hint! Get your sweet payback by gifting them something from our hilarious assortment of gag gifts! Or you can keep the humor going by gifting them an officially licensed Steven Rhodes t-shirt or Steven Rhodes fleece blanket. This guy never takes anything seriously.
For the Library Hermit
The library hermits are those people who are always in the library even more so than they are in their actual dorm. It’s like they don’t even have a dorm room! They hold academics to a much higher standard than their social life and will stay up all night without fail if it means finishing that essay. Get your hands on some coffee mugs and backpacks to give as a gift to help them stay organized and awake. Those all-nighters are no joke!
For the Beer Pong Amateur Pro
We’ve all seen them at parties before. They’re the two guys who go way too hard at beer pong and haven’t hopped off the table the entire party. They’re constantly reminding you of all the rules and to “watch your elbows” when you shoot. They’re the most obnoxious two at the party by far and it’s not even midnight. If you know someone who thinks they’re a beer pong prodigy, then getting them their very own beer pong table would be a fantastic Christmas gift. Add some beer pong balls or other beer pong accessories for a terrific beer pong setup!
That’s our list! We hope you found something for everyone! For more amazing gift ideas check back soon on the Spencer’s blog for more! The holidays are coming fast so you better start shopping today!
