20 of the Best Stocking Stuffers For College Students

This TONYMOLY Face Mask 5-Pack ($15) is the perfect self-care gift for the student who loves their skin-care. Plus, they're so affordable, you can gift one to everyone in your family.

The freshman in college coming home for their first holiday season will be obsessed with these Collegiate Pouches ($33), but the senior who's rounding out their final year will love them, too. We love that they're personal and useful at the same time.

Sometimes, intense stress calls for Therapy Dough ($15). These come in four available scents — lavender, pine, eucalyptus, and orange — but you can collect them all, or give each person a different scent.

Life looks better through a disposable camera. Throw this Kodak 35mm Film Camera ($18, originally $20) in their stocking for some added nostalgia.

Ravensburger's Disney Villainous: Introduction to Evil Board Game ($30) is perfect for any Disney fan looking to embrace their inner villain with friends and family. College students can play as one of the four famed antagonists (Maleficent, Captain Hook, Ursula, or Prince John), and they will love experiencing the immersive gameplay and "easter eggs" of their favorite films with their friends.

Let your college student enjoy their favorite milk and cereal on the go with The CrunchCup XL ($30). They don't need anything else — no extra bowl or spoon required. The best part? The CrunchCup has two separate cups to keep the cereal from getting soggy.

These Hidden Pocket Scrunchies ($20) do double duty. They're classic scrunchies, but they also have hidden pockets, so you can keep cash, keys, or any little essential with you when you're in a pinch.

You've probably seen The Five-Minute Journal ($29) everywhere, but it really does work. If your college student loves to journal or wants to embrace more mindfulness in their daily routine, they'll appreciate this gift. You can read our full review of The Five-Minute Journal here.

It wouldn't be the holidays without new socks. It gets cold in the dorms, but thankfully, this Free People Ruffle Sock Pack in Bright Combo ($30) is equal parts cute and cozy. This pack comes in three (with multiple different colorways to choose from), so students can mix and match as they please.

You can't go wrong with these Apple AirPods Pro ($230, originally $250). Everyone will want to unwrap these this year, but if you're still on the fence, read our Apple AirPods Pro review for more info.

Get a good night's sleep in any dorm with these relaxing Sleep Headphones ($20). They have over 17,000 positive reviews and come in different colors, so anyone can find their perfect match.

If they're in college, they're likely using communal showers. This Shower Steamer Spray ($25) will be a beloved present, because it makes any shower experience feel a bit more like being at a spa. Sign us up!

This Crease-Free Hair Clip Set ($8) is adorable but also practical. These gentle clips allow students to pull their hair back without any creasing, making skin-care and makeup a total breeze.

Strap on your shower shoes, because this Tree Hut Candy Cane Shea Sugar Body Scrub ($8) makes everything feel more festive. We love this candy cane scent for the holidays, but we're sure any version would make it into the shower caddy.

Y2K fashion is back in full force, and this claw clip is the proof. We like this Charley Metal Butterfly Claw Clip ($12) because it's an affordable, modern take on the sparkly '90s style.

This Free People Cherry Bag Charm ($20) is berry cute. Set any backpack or tote bag apart with vintage-feeling leather cherries — they're just too sweet.

Hot chocolate is the ultimate seasonal treat, so this Hot Chocolate on a Stick ($40) takes the cake. There are four flavors in each pack — salted caramel, peanut butter cup, peppermint, and french truffle — so students can enjoy a sweet treat while they're studying or hanging at home.

When they need to shut out the world for a minute, they'll be grateful for these Self-Warming Eye Masks ($20). They're super soothing and great for a minute of chill time (and each pack comes with five masks).

So much is learned in the classroom, but there are still some things you aren't taught at a desk. That's where this Things They Don't Teach You in School Game ($35) comes in. It's hilarious, fun, and perfect for any college student.

If they are caffeine obsessed but want to swap out their afternoon coffee, these Instant Colorful Tea Latte Kits ($30) are a great way to get started. There are so many fun flavors to try, including pink latte, matcha latte, and golden latte.
