Gifts to give to college students

I have been a college student for almost a year now, and after finishing up an order to dominos pizza via the internet, I've decided to post a blog on what to give to college students.

1) Gift cards to the bookstore.

We need's em. College text books are super expensive and really difficult to afford even if you've been busting your ass all summer for money to do exactly that.

2) Gift cards to Walmart, SuperFresh, Giant, Target, and any other place that sells groceries.

If your darling dear is moving into apartments instead of kitchen-less dorms, groceries are going to be just another thing they're having a hard time to afford. A giftcard that eases that burden will be welcome to the extreme.

3) Gift cards to Dominos, and other collegiate fast food places.

Do I really have to explain?

Really, just get them gift cards. lots of them. Checks are likely to be taken by parents to be put towards tuition, and Cash is likely to be spent on booze instead of things they need. Gift cards are amazing little bits of wonder that are going to be put to good use for things I've listed above.

Of course, here's some gift cards I personally would love.

A. A Visa giftcard. Visa is accepted anywhere, and I'd love to go online and buy shiny things with no guilt or fear of having money stolen.

B. Hot Topic. I'm a teeny goth at heart and I like the pretty things.

C. Barnes and Nobles/Borders Books. I love to read.

D. Amazon.com giftcard. THERE ARE ALL THE CHEAP SECOND HAND MOVIES AND BOOKS. And half a billion other things as well. A giftcard there would be well received.

E. Shanalogic.com. I like to shop indie. I like to shop online. Shanalogic has some pretty expensive stuff, emphasis on pretty.

F. Dominos.com giftcard. I WANT TO BE AN MVP AND START GETTING COUPONS FOR FREEBIES. :D

This is a very disconnected blog, but it's a good one. All listed are true.
