Birthday Gifts for 19 Year Old College Girl:
There's been a trend going around of girls wearing weights on their wrists or ankles while they do stuff around the house to help get toned faster. These wrist weights are by FAR some of the cutest wrist and ankle weights out there, which makes them perfect for daily use.
This hand chain is absolutely STUNNING. You can buy it in silver or gold, whichever metal she wears more. If the college girl you're shopping for loves wearing jewelry, then she's going to love this hand chain.
Stacking rings are the perfect gift for jewelry-loving college girls. Having stacking rings is a great way to appear more put-together, and I love the variety that comes in this pack of stacked rings!
Casetify phone cases are the best phone cases on the market. They've got so many styles and designs, and I know so many young adult and teen girls who have these phone cases.
The Lululemon Align leggings are literally the BEST pair of leggings I own. Every girl needs a couple pairs of high quality leggings, and Lululemon items make the greatest gifts for any athletic college girl!
Sheet masks are a great gift for any college girl who deserves some self care. You can add face masks to a larger gift basket or even just gift them on their own.
Every girl seems to have these headbands right now, so it had to make this gift guide! If the girl you're shopping for doesn't have one of these yet, this is a great way to help her make her morning routine a little more trendy.
Plus, the wristbands prevent water from running down your arms when you're doing your skincare.
Film cameras are definitely making a comeback! It's so fun to take film photos when you have a fun weekend with friends or just to keep track of all your college memories in a vintage way. If you're looking for the type of gifts that keep on giving, a film camera is the perfect option.
Lap desks are super handy for anyone living in a college dorm. Sometimes, you get tired of sitting at your desk to study for hours on end, and laying in bed can make life so much better. A lap desk is the perfect way to make college life a little more comfortable.
Any college student living in their own apartment with their own desk would appreciate an upgrade from a regular desk to this sit to stand desk. It's adjustable so you can make it whatever height you want for both sitting and standing, which makes it 10x more comfortable for long study days!
This under desk treadmill has been on my wish list FOREVER! I wish I had this when I was in college. It's the perfect gift to pair with a standing desk, or the perfect gift to buy if the student you're shopping for already has a standing desk. She can put this underneath and get her steps in while she works and studies!
A pilates ring is one of the best gifts for any college girl who loves doing pilates from the comfort of her apartment or dorm room!
These are honestly some of the prettiest running shoes I've seen, if running shoes can even be pretty!

A Nespresso machine is one of the most practical gifts you can buy for a young coffee lover. Pair this with some Nespresso pods and it's the perfect new appliance for her dorm room or apartment.
Hatch alarm clocks have SO many amazing features that I didn't even know an alarm clock could have. It comes with a bunch of sleep sounds like white noise, brown noise, nature sounds, and more... and it's designed to support your natural circadian rhythm, waking you up gently and with light!
As far as alarm clocks go, this is the most popular choice for college girls looking to improve their sleep schedule.
If the girl you're shopping for is into the gaming world and doesn't have a Nintendo Switch yet, she'll definitely make use of this on her downtime!
For college students who like board games, this is even better. My friends and I played Cards Against Humanity so much in college, it's such a fun late night game that never gets old!

Owala water bottles are such high quality and have so many different features. Can you believe that's possible for a water bottle?!
They come in so many different color ways, and they have both a straw and a regular spout. It sounds crazy to think that there are so many different preferences and features for a water bottle, but it really makes a difference!

An Apple Watch is the perfect 19th birthday gift idea for athletic college girls because it tracks so many health indicators and makes communication so much easier.
