Top Ten Gift Ideas for Your Hippie College Kid

1.) Tapestry: Tapestries are key for room decoration and can be found at hippie clothing stores, yoga studios, and various other places. Tapestries are great because they're so versatile - you can hang them from the ceiling or on the wall, use them to cover a table or chest of drawers, use them as a blanket, and the list goes on. And you can never have too many tapestries. They come in different colors and styles, from simple and basic to wild and psychedelic to somewhere in between. They can also be found with pictures on them, such as Grateful Dead symbols. 

2.) Essential Oil & Oil Diffuser: Essential oils are natural fragrances that are derived from plants and known for a variety of therapeutic uses (the use of them is called aromatherapy). Do some research and find out what the different kinds are good for (some are uplifting and can help with depression, some are good for colds and congestion, others are good for stomach disorders, others can help with insomnia or headaches, still others are known for their antiseptic properties). Then buy some accordingly. You can look them up online or you may be able to find aromatherapy books in stores that sell the oils. Some common favorites include peppermint oil, lavender oil, patchouli oil, tea tree oil, chamomile oil, and eucalyptus oil. An oil diffuser is a convenient way to utilize the oils. Usually, they consist of a small bowl on top of a structure that allows you to burn a small candle underneath. The burning of the candle then heats the oil and diffuses it throughout the room. They're also very decorative and come in many different styles. If your son/daughter lives in a dorm room where they don't allow candles, an oil diffuser may be a bad idea, but they also make ones for cars that don't require candles and can be plugged in to the cigarette lighter.
