10 Christmas Gifts for Under $20

Christmas for College kids

Nov 30, 2015

With Christmas coming up in less than 40 days, it's time to start thinking about presents for loved ones. Most of us are in college, which means most of us are probably on a budget. So I have compiled a list of 10 gifts ranging from $9.00 to $20.00 with options everywhere in between. Most of the items on this list aren't Christmas themed, which means can be changed to fit any holiday or birthday you need them to! Click on the pictures to be linked to where you can buy the items! So let's get started!

1. Coloring Book - $9.57

We are all children at heart, and one of my favorite parts of childhood was all my coloring books!

2. Custom Notepad - $9.99

For the organizer in everyone, at least make it pretty with some customizable notepads. You can pick from different flowers and patterns and put the recipients name on it!

3. State Lovin' Metal Keychain - $16.00

Perfect for those who picked a college out of state, or just those who love their home state.

4. Turf Coasters - $14.95

For the avid baseball fan, help them protect their furniture with some nice turf field coasters.

5. Luggage Tags - $11.99

For the person who loves to travel, make it easier for them to find their bags in the airport with these bright luggage tags.

6. XL Wine Glass - $9.99

For those over the age of 21, this extra large wine glass can hold an entire bottle of wine, perfect for a night with the girls.

7. Refrigerator Magnet Sets - $16.44+ (CAD)

Who remembers playing with refrigerator magnet words, well now they have them for nerds too. Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones. There are so many options, something to please everyone. But be aware, prices can change depending on which option you select.

8. Social Interaction T-Shirt - $19.99

For those people who don't like much social interaction, this is the shirt for them.

9. Zooquarium - $19.99

A lot of college kids feel lonely at some point during the year, and sometimes a pet can help with that. A lot of dorms let students have fish as pets, they're fairly easy to take care of and can be fun. But with these fun tanks, it just makes it even more interesting.

10. Stress Buster Desktop Punching Bag - $17.39

Something everyone, at any age, will love. Everyone gets stressed at times, and the perfect way to relieve that stress can be sitting right on your desk.

So here are 10 gifts to give this holiday season, all under $20, but please keep in mind that the prices given here do not include sales tax or shipping costs if it is needed.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
