dating advice

Have a girlfriend or boyfriend who's in college? Are you in college yourself? Need a great gift idea that isn't too dorky, doesn't make you look like a total dork, and is within your tight budget and time restrictions?

1. Online music gift certificates. Everyone has their favorite place online for music -- including your girlfriend or boyfriend. Get them a gift certificate for their favorite site so they can add some new songs or albums to their collections.
2. Treat your partner to a night out -- off campus. You both probably spend so much time on campus that going off-campus happens maybe once a month -- if that. Treat your boyfriend or girlfriend to a night off-campus that you both can enjoy without bumping into ten million people that you both know.
3. Sport for some clothes from your school or your partner's favorite school. Does your boyfriend or girlfriend have a favorite school sports team? Do they love the school they currently attend? Treat him or her to a sweatshirt from the gift shop, something from an online seller, or even the college line from Victoria Secret.
4. Aim for a web cam. You can get a web cam, if you don't have one already, for less than $10 these days. This can be a great gift if you are in a long-distance relationship or if you'll be spending a summer (or other break) apart.
5. Take your girlfriend or boyfriend out to his or her favorite club, bar, or restaurant. You both may hit the same places every weekend, but if you offer to splurge a little and treat for the both of you, it will feel extra fun and exciting. (Not to mention the free stuff many places give to people celebrating birthdays!)
6. Take your girlfriend or boyfriend to a concert. Major concert ticket prices may be more than you wanted to spend, but think about what your partner likes best. Find something local and a little more low-profile, such as a slam poetry competition or a taiko drum performance.
7. Buy a book by your partner's favorite author. Being in college exposes most students to new and totally fabulous authors. Treat your girlfriend or boyfriend to a book by a new author they've recently discovered.
8. Go for a classic: delivery of flowers or a care package. Even if you're on the same campus, having something delivered to your boyfriend or girlfriend is guaranteed to be a hit. Who doesn't like receiving flowers or a care package?
9. Print out a hard copy of a picture of you together. You undoubtedly have tons of pics with each other -- on facebook, on your cell phones, on your computers. But what about a nice, hard-copy printout with a nice frame? Check with online photo places for great deals and free shipping options.
10. Give your girlfriend or boyfriend something that will make their college life easier. It may not sound romantic at first, but getting that little gadget -- a better bike lock, a jump drive, a wireless mouse -- that your boyfriend or girlfriend has been wanting may make them incredibly happy. As an added bonus, they'll think of you every time they use it and remember your gesture of kindness.
