Valentine’s Day gifts for teens and college students

1. Baked Goods

If you are a baker, this is your day to shine. Your teens will forever remember all the love you poured into the brownies and cookies or cupcakes that emerge from the oven. You know their favorites, just make sure to double the batch so they can share with teammates, friends or roommates. Fit them snugly inside one of these cute Cookie Tins and the packing becomes part of the gift.

2. Hot Chocolate on a Stick 

These look so delicious that we might order some for our teens AND some for us, too.  Swirl them into hot milk for the perfect cold-weather drink!

3. Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Valentines just isn’t Valentines without chocolate and we think these chocolate covered strawberries look yummy.

4. Cookies By Design Cookie Bouquet

Take a look at the wide range of Valentine’s selections offered by Cookies by Design. Not only do they bake, ice, and decorate the oversized sugar cookies daily, but they also offer baskets of cookies that include chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, red velvet and more. Cookies are a great gift for your student to share with roommates and hall mates.

5. Alumni Association

Is your college student looking ahead a few short months toward graduation? One of the longest-lasting perks of being a college graduate is becoming a member of a college or university alumni association. Spring for a membership and let them begin to take advantage of privileges that can include discounts, career support and networking.

6. Fan Gear 

March Madness begins on March 14 with Selection Sunday, so send new fan gear for their favorite team from Fanatics, the best place to shop for officially-licensed NCAA merchandise.

These socks have built-in messages of encouragement for guys and girls. Buy them with or without this pretty heart packaging.

Lip balm is especially nice for teens who are in school in cold and dry climates. Jack Black is a favorites brand that is marketed for guys but we think the lip balms are amazing for everyone.
