Remember as a child opening up your gifts and getting mad that they weren't the latest toy or the newest bike that you had been dreaming of?
Here we are 10 years later, LOVING the gifts that we hated as a kid. Sometimes the simplest gifts are the best ones, and at 20 years old, these 10 gifts are ones we all love but despised at the age of 10.
1. Socks
Everyone can relate to the struggle to find two matching socks, and that’s if you’re lucky. Sometimes they all magically disappear.
2. Gift cards
I remember rolling my eyes when I would receive these at the age of 10. Now gift cards for restaurants are one of the best presents you can receive. Free food, am I right?
3. Toiletries
The less you have to spend your own money on necessities like toothpaste, shampoo, and soap, the better. One less Walmart trip that you will have to make.
4. Clothes
In college, buying clothes can be a rare occasion. Most money is spent on food, so receiving clothes for a gift is a treasure.
5. School supplies
In college, you only need the bare minimum, but flash cards, notebooks, and a planner are a necessity.

6. Nail polish
We could care less if our nails were painted at 10, but now nail polish is a great gift… Especially for broke college students that can’t afford to get their nails done.
7. Shoes
Ladies, there’s no such thing as “too many shoes”. Shoes over boys any day.
8. Home decor
The 10-year-old me could care less how many picture frames or what kind of throw pillows that I had in my room. Now, decorations are essential to every room.
9. Savings bonds
The idea of money that I wasn’t able to spend yet didn’t sit well with me at 10 years old. These have now built value, and are a blessing to my broke self.
10. Chapstick
10 years ago, I would walk around with dry, chapped lips all the time. Now, chapstick is a must-have for me to get through the day.
