Regardless of the holiday you celebrate, we are officially in the season of giving. Don’t know what to give? Here are some ideas of gifts your loved ones (or you) might appreciate. Don’t forget to take advantage of those student discounts!
For Your Mom
They can be hard to shop for because they always seem to be saying that they have “everything they need.” But what about these two options for Mom?
Is she punny? Are you two always butting heads? Here’s her last nerve–to actually set on fire–the Mom’s Last Nerve lavender-scented candle for just $10 on Amazon. It comes in other colors and sentiments too!
Is she always cold, no matter how many blankets are on the couch? Maybe get her one that she can wear. And since it’s so cute, you can even “borrow” it from her. But that’s what moms are for. It’s only $29.99 on Amazon.
For Your Dad
He’s supposed to be the one carrying all the bags while the shopping is being done, but dads like to be appreciated too. So, how can you shop for the father figure that can seemingly “do it all”? Allow him to embrace his own inner childhood with these Legos of his favorite superheroes at starting at just $9.99 on the Legos site. They will be perfect for his desk or his outdoor workshop that you aren’t allowed in.
It’s a common stereotype that men typically ignore their self-care, but it’s still important for them. Maybe sneak the $26 Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Minimizing Clay Mask from Sephora into your dad’s stocking this year. It will encourage him to pay attention to his pores. Just be sure to tell him he’s in charge of restocking on his own.
For Your Significant Other
Whether you’ve been dating for six months or six years, your partner deserves a gift this holiday season. Here are two suggestions:
The first gift is simply an experience. This could be a show on Broadway; a weekend trip away to somewhere you both enjoy; a concert to an artist you bonded over; sports tickets to your partner’s favorite team; or even just a nice dinner. Do something you don’t usually do together, something you’ve been putting off, or something you’ve been wishing for. Now’s the time!
The second gift is something handmade! Whether it’s just a card or an entire scrapbook, handmade gifts are one-of-a-kind and so are relationships. You don’t have to be particularly crafty or creative; your partner loves you for you. And whether you write a letter or crochet an entire blanket, they’ll treasure it simply because it came from you.
For Your Bestie
If they’re trying to become a social media influencer, and you’re sick of being a photographer for them, get your bestie and OCTOBUDDY phone case so that they can film their own TikToks and be their own photographer. It’s only $13 on Amazon. Just make sure you like all their posts!
Make your bestie a plant parent! Head over to Home Depot and grab them a succulent ranging in price, starting as low as $5. The great thing about these, is they are very low maintenance and last year-round, so they are perfect any time of year.
For Yourself
Whatever you want! After a long, hard semester, you deserve it. Treat yourself to whatever you’ve been holding back on. There’s no time like now!
