10 Best Christmas Grab Bag Gift Ideas For Adults

Every Christmas eve, my family gathers at my grandma's house to celebrate my favorite day of the year. We enjoy great Italian food, many laughs and, most importantly, the annual grab bag game. Each person brings a gift, costing around $20, and we pick numbers to decide the order of who chooses first. Some people take the grab bag seriously, and buy gifts they actually think others will use. And some, like my Uncle Tony, choose items like an Obama chia pet. Over the last couple of years, I have gotten a pretty good idea of the crowd favorites -- not to mention fighting over items everyone wants to steal. If you're in need of grab gift ideas for adults, bring any one of these eight gifts to this year's Christmas and your success is almost guaranteed.

1. Chocolate covered popcorn

Chocolate covered popcorn and Christmas go together like bacon and eggs.

2. Ornament

3. Collection of wine glasses or shot glasses

The perfect grab bag gift for adults who want to maintain the holiday spirit while getting drunk.

4. A bottle of wine

Because who doesn't like a good bottle of wine?

5. Coffee mugs and hot chocolate

Get them the official Christmas drink to keep them warm and fuzzy throughout the holiday season.

6. Your favorite movie, candy, and a six-pack of beer

For a holiday evening well spent.

7. Apparel from your favorite sports team or college

Every true fan needs those.

8. Cooking utensils, oven mitts, cookie cutters, etc.

'Tis the season for baking and cooking!

9. Movie theater tickets

All the good movies are released around the holiday season.

10. Lottery Tickets

Make Christmas day their lucky day.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
