Be honest. You probably are guilty. Sure you wrote your friend’s birthday in your planner months ago and sure you brainstormed so many awesome ideas. But before you know it, it’s the day before the big day and you got nothing….except a 10-page paper to write, a midterm exam, and 3 weeks of Real Housewives DVRed. What’s a busy college girl to do?

Go to Late Late Gifts, the ultimate last minute gift guide. The site features tons of awesome gifts that offer next day shipping. Yep, that’s right! Your Dad will never know you forgot his 50th birthday and your BFF will never think you could have possibly forgotten her half-birthday.

We were so excited for Late Late Gifts, that we teamed up with them to offer you a prize. The entry rules? Think of a really good example of when you could have really, really used the site. There were a lot of great entries, but ultimately the winner was…..ASHTON ANDERSON!

She won with this entry:

CONGRATS ASHTON! E-Mail pr@collegecandy.com to claim your prize.

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about expressing your love for…uh…the people you love. But what it actually is, is a commercialized way to turn love into a cheese-tastic card with the words “I wuv u” written across the top.

And for many people, it’s a commercialized way to turn love into a cheese-tastic card with the words “I wuv u” written across the top purchased last minute on their way to see that special someone. I know this because I watched 10 guys scramble around the drugstore snatching cheap crap up while I picked up some chocolate for breakfast this morning.

And let me tell you, it was hard to watch. My heart totally went out to whomever is on the receiving end of these “gifts.”

So for your viewing pleasure (or a little sneak peek into what you might be feigning enthusiasm for later tonight), here is a small sampling of the crappiest ways to say ‘I Luv You.’ Read More »

If you’re one of those slackers who leaves your Christmas shopping until Christmas Eve (much to the scorn of retail workers everywhere) there’s no need to fret. Sex can be a great gift to anyone on your list this year. Yeah, that’s right, I said anyone.

Now before you start calling me perverted, let me show you what I mean.

Your Boyfriend
Um, duh. This one is obvious, but you can’t expect a plain romp in the hay to get you off the hook this
Christmas; you’ll have to spice it up a bit. Normally, I’d recommend getting yourself to a sex shop to pick up a new toy or some sexy lingerie, but it might be a little to late for that (are sex stores even open on Christmas Eve?). Instead of buying something special, you’ll have to do something special this year. Need some ideas? Try one (or all) of these sexy sex tips on for size. Even better, why not get the gift that keeps on giving, like Cosmo’s latest iPhone app? It gives you a new hot sex position every day, making it the best $1.99 you ever spent. And if that’s not your thing, maybe just put on your sexiest lingerie (or left-over Halloween costume… same thing, usually) and give him a strip tease that he’ll never forget.

Your Coupled Friends
Let’s be honest, what your coupled college friends need is alone time. And if that friend also happens to be a roommate, that is the cheapest gift you can give! Print out a few coupons for some “alone time” and let her redeem them whenever she wants. All you have to do is find somewhere else to sleep. Boom! Best gift ever.

Or, if you’re lookin’ to spend a little more and you’ve got some time between baking with mom and wrapping with the siblings, hop on over to Barnes and Noble where they have tons of great stuff for couples. A few of my faves: “365 Sex Positions: A New Way Everyday for a Steamy, Erotic Year” and “Cosmo’s Steamy Sex Games.” Hot, hot, hot. Don’t be surprised if the BFF’s BF calls to thank you.
