Never underestimate the power of a stellar stocking stuffer. While larger presents can sometimes overshadow the more compact finds, stockings are a great opportunity to show the college student in your life you care. These tiny but mighty gifts range from thoughtful and unique self-care items to useful picks that will lend a helping hand. Fun add-ons like beauty gifts and wireless headphones are small luxuries to help them enjoy a break from midterms and power through the rest of the year.
