10. Cell Phone Chair - $13.50

9. A Stylish Rug
Home décor is always a great Christmas gift idea, because one doesn’t have to worry if it will fit the recipient or not.  Since you’re her roommate, and you know what her side of the room looks like, it should be fairly easy to pick something out that will compliment what she already has going on.  Chances are she’ll appreciate the chance to spice up her environment just a little bit.

8. Dry Erase Board - $20
I live with three other girls, and we have a dry erase board in our living room.  It’s helpful because we can easily keep track of each others whereabouts and leave messages for each other.  By giving your roommate a dry erase board  as a Christmas gift, she can not only leave notes for you but quickly jot down reminders for herself, her work schedule and even important due dates for school products.  A dry erase board also comes in really handy when playing games in the room, like Pictionary!  Office Depot currently has an 18” x 24” dry erase board for $20.
