From white elephant gift exchanges to secret Santas, 'tis the season of giving--- and spending too. This year industry experts expect the average American to spend $920 on holiday gifts.

For most college students, life is lived on a budget. It's even worse when the holidays roll around. Thinking about all the gifts you have to purchase for you family and friends can be scary when you realize you're on that same college budget you had at the start of the semester.
