Stocking Stuffers for College Students: 50+ Incredible Ideas

Having sore and tight muscles is never fun. Which is where this next idea for a stocking stuffer for college students comes in.

This is a set of three lightweight massage balls that can be used after a workout. They are designed to target different muscle groups and help relieve tension.

Each ball is a different size, so you can target different sizes of muscle groups. If they workout often or experience muscle tension, this is a great gift option.

These can be easily stored in their dorm or apartment and used as needed. Plus, it is extremely useful to have.

They will be very grateful for this gift, especially after using them post-workout for the first time. 

Headbands are one of those staple hair accessories to have in your collection, which makes them the next stocking stuffer idea. This set of six headbands is thin, so they will not take up a lot of space on your head but will still be able to keep hair out of your face.

The silicone grip allows it to stay on your head while being active. So you can workout, go to class, run errands, or do whatever you need to do, and it will not fall.

Since it is a set of six, each one is different. So you can pick one that fits you best for the day. Plus, they are black and white, so they can go with pretty much any outfit -- keeping it simple. 

Beanies are not only great for the winter, but they are also a stylish clothing item that can be styled in many different ways.

That is why they are a great stocking stuffer idea for college students. These Carhartt beanies will not only keep them warm but will also add to their outfits.

They can wear them even when it is not cold. Since they come in a variety of colors, you can find one in their favorite color.

They can be worn with a jacket, a sweater, flannel, t-shirt, or whatever outfit fits their style. Plus, it is less than twenty dollars, so it will not hurt your wallet.

The hat is made with stretchable fabric, making it durable, and it can fit anyone.

Just like the Carhartt beanie, this winter pom beanie will help keep the college student in your life’s head warm. This is a fantastic hat for the winter season.

Christmas is only the start of the winter season, so they will get plenty of use out of the hat the rest of winter.

Plus, with the added bonus of the pom, this beanie is cute and fun. So it is not just a boring winter hat.

It is another useful and cute stocking stuffer for college students to add to the list. 

If the college student in your life still lives in the dorms, then this is a fantastic stocking stuffer idea. This collapsible bowl would be handy to have in the dorms.

When it is not being used, it can be collapsed down for easy storage. When you are living somewhere with little space, saving space whenever you can is key.

Since this bowl is also microwave safe, they can heat up food in their microwave -- a college student’s main way of cooking in the dorms.

This will for sure get plenty of use if you put this in their stocking. 

This next stocking stuffer idea for college students is one that is useful, inexpensive, and the perfect size for a stocking stuffer.

These Sweat Cosmetics Cleansing Towelettes are less than ten dollars for a ten pack and less than twenty dollars for a thirty pack.

So you can stock them up for less than twenty dollars. The towelettes are great for removing makeup, cleansing your face, cooling down after a workout, etc.

They are also enriched with several elements like vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5 that benefit the skin, making this an all-around great stocking stuffer. 

Just like the weighted blanket, the weighted eye mask has its benefits. It will help you relax and relieve stress at night as you fall asleep.

Also, the mask is scented with dry lavender to help aid in relaxation. This mask can also be warmed up in the microwave to help provide warmth and comfort as you fall asleep at night.

So whoever you give this to will benefit from the relaxing benefits of this mask for sure. 

While this next stocking stuffer can be used to keep you warm, it is mainly used as a stylish clothing item.

This is a reversible cashmere muffler that can be styled in several different ways. It may also provide some warmth if needed.

They can style it for interviews for jobs or internships. Or maybe, they just have an event that this will work great for.

Either way, this will take their wardrobe up a notch for sure. 

Charms are a great way for someone to express their interests and characteristics, which is why a charm, like this flower one, is a great stocking stuffer idea for a college student.

The flower can mean anything to whoever has the charm. It can be just because they like flowers.

But maybe it is their favorite flower or color -- or maybe it has a meaning to their family.

Whatever it is, they can put it on a bracelet or necklace and showcase the flower and its meaning.

The cold weather means that our hands are going to be cold, and that means gloves.

However, that can be tricky when you need to use your phone and have to take off your gloves for the touch screen to work. That is not an issue with these gloves.

These allow you to use your phone and keep your gloves on. So you do not have to pick between warmth and being able to text your friends.

This is a dream for college students who are always on their phones. They can just slip these on and continue to type away with no issue, making this a hit as a stocking stuffer. 

Over the last few years, I have found that having some sort of fanny pack is really useful.

Especially when you are going somewhere where you only need a few items and do not want to bring a huge bag.

That is why this slim waist pack is a great gift and stocking idea for college students. This pack has an adjustable waistband and expandable pocket.

They can just clip this on their waist, adjust as needed, put their essentials in the pocket, and be on their way.

These are great for running, going to concerts, running a few short errands, etc. They can have their hands free and move around freely.

Plus, it is only twenty dollars, which makes it even better. 

Having all of your cards in one place is important. Especially for college students who want to stay as organized as possible.

That is why this next stocking stuffer idea for college students is a card case. This case has room for three different cards, as well as a zipper pocket for cash or coins.

They can keep their ID and credit and debit cards all in one place. This can easily go into their backpack or into a purse for when they need it.

It is also small enough to fit into a pocket if needed. Their cards can all be safe in one place, helping to keep them organized. 

If they are a runner, this is a must-have and would make a great stocking stuffer.

This arm band allows them to keep their phone on them, even if they do not have pockets or somewhere else to put their phone.

They just put the phone in the band and the band on their arm. They can connect their bluetooth earbuds and start their run.

No worry about the phone weighing down their pockets or checking to see if they have their phone. It is on their arm the whole time and out of the way.

This is the perfect stocking stuffer for college students who are active and still want their phone nearby.
