I have three twenty-something daughters. Two are in college, and one has recently graduated, so buying for this age group is one thing I can say I have some experience in. This gift guide is mostly made up of items that my girls currently have and love. My daughters also polled friends and sorority sisters for their suggestions and input. There are a variety of price-points, so there is something for everyone. These items would be appropriate for teens and moms as well. Many of these items I own and love too! When making this guide and shopping around, I noticed that many companies’ deadlines for guaranteed Christmas delivery are pretty early – some by December 5, so get your shopping on!
Please comment your gift suggestions too! We are always looking for new ideas! Links for all items are below!

1. Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Cologne is a favorite scent in our house. Whatever your gift recipient’s favorite scent, try getting it in a rollerball version or travel size. My girls love being able to throw it in their purse or backpack.
2. These Personalized Monogram Phone Cases are super cute. Lots of colors and styles to pick from.
3. My girls are all about the Skims Cozy Collection. This Skims Cozy Knit Boucle Robe is super soft and snuggly and has pockets and a belt. The tops and bottoms are awesome too!
4. Barrington Gifts Totes are wonderful. You can customize the pattern, colors, monogram, etc. My Daughter Kailey has one that zips closed and uses it all the time for school and when she travels. They have a full line of products, all of which would make great gifts.

10. Eyelash Sweater Tee from Abercrombie – Abercrombie is one of our go-to’s for affordable, stylish clothing. We have good luck with our purchases there, and they have Tall sizes, which are great for my youngest, who is 5’10’ and struggles to find clothes that fit properly.
11. I bought one of these Mark and Graham Travel Jewelry Cases for each of my daughters last year. Comes in a choice of colors and monogram styles.

16. Sneakers are the “it” shoe of 2020, and these Veja Sneakers are super cute, comfortable, and come in a few different colors.
17. Abercrombie Mid-Length Sherpa Coat – Living in the Midwest, you can never have too many coats! This is a great buy and is warm and cozy.
18. Long Sleeve Satin Top – Each Christmas, I buy each of my girls a festive top that they can easily dress up or down, and this one is a great option.
19. This Green Vegan Leather Mini Skirt will be under our tree this year. I love the green as an alternative to black.

26. Barefoot Dreams Blanket. This cozy blanket is all the rage. It’s pricey but apparently worth the splurge.
27. There are many awesome leggings out there but my girls seem to always go back to lululemon styles. This version is a favorite of my daughter Megan who is tall and these Fast and Free Tight 28″ are a good length for her.
28. This Gray Malin Beach Puzzle is beautiful. The best part – it’s 2 sided so double the fun! Gray Malin’s photographs are amazing and would also make a great gift. I know my daughters would love to hang a piece of his work in their Apartments.

35. These Hair Ties are another great stocking stuffer. They don’t crease your hair or cause breakage.
36. After many broken wheels and jammed zippers, we finally invested in some decent luggage. This Away Carry-on bag has a lifetime warranty and makes a great gift because it’s not something a twenty-something would typically buy for themselves.
