Christmas shopping is one of the best and worst things in the world…or at least for me, anyway. While I love finding gifts that I think my friends and family will love, I always seem to wait until the last minute to go shopping, and I’m terrible at thinking about gifts ahead of time. The biggest stressor for me is that I don’t like to risk getting a gift somebody already has, almost as much as I hate getting something stereotypical.

This year, I decided to change all of that, and I’m starting off with a gift guide that helps you determine what to get your friends and family based on their college major!  Hopefully you’ll find the perfect gift to give someone based on the guide below, or will get the perfect idea based off of one of these.

For the English Major:

1. 1. Shakespeare Mug
      • There’s nothing better than terrible puns, and the fact that it’s about Shakespeare makes this mug even better. Wrap this up with some hot chocolate packets and a book or two for the perfect gift!

1. Book Stack Tissue Dispenser
   • College students are always in need of decorations to liven up a drab dorm room or apartment. This book-themed tissue dispenser is the perfect gift to achieve that! (And help them get ready for cold and flu season, an extra bonus!)

For the Computer Science Major:

1. 1. Floppy Disk Drink Coaster
      • I remember my family having some of these floppy disks lying around our computer when I was little. Thank goodness files can be stored on smaller items now, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t pay tribute to the classic with these drink coasters! These are the perfect gift for your favorite computer science major.

For the Nursing Major:

1. Coffee Prescription Mug
   • Many college students need a bit of coffee to help them through the day, so why not prescribe your nursing major some with this coffee prescription mug? Package it with their favorite coffee and creamers and you’re sure to give them a gift they will love!

For the Chemistry Major:

1. Overreacting Pillow Case
   • Need to liven up the dorm room or apartment? This pillowcase is sure to do the trick! After all, what Chemistry major wouldn’t love this punny pillowcase. (See what I did there?)

   

2. Molecule Laptop Sticker
   • Whenever I see students with their laptops, I love seeing what stickers they have on it. For chemistry students, this molecule sticker is the perfect one to have, especially since it’s the molecular structure of caffeine.

For the Art Major

1. Starry Night Laptop Sleeve
   • Why give your art student a plain old laptop bag, when you could give them a bag depicting one of the most famous artworks of all time! This is a gift sure to be appreciated by all art students (but especially by art history students!).

   

2. Artist Shirt
   • As an art student, I can testify that I want this t-shirt. The amazing pun and simple style is sure to bring a lot of compliments and laughs from professors and students alike!

For the Music Major

1. That’s a Sharp Mug
   • Mugs are a popular gifts for any college student, and that doesn’t change when it comes to music majors! Pack this up with some chocolate and you’re sure to have a gift that they will love!

   

2. Music Notes Car Decal
   • When it comes to showing pride about your major in college, it doesn’t have to stop at laptop stickers and coffee mugs! Car decals can be as equally amazing.

For the Foreign Language Major

1. Travel Fund Shadow Box
   • Help your student put their foreign language classes to use by giving them a place to start their travel fund to the country of their second language!

For the Math Major

1. Math Clock
   • A clock is something that a college student should never go without, and this clock gives your math major the perfect chance to flaunt their skills!

Creating this gift guide was a ton of fun for me, and has given me so many gift ideas for my friends and family. Hopefully it has done the same to you, as well!

Forever,
