10 Creative Ideas For Last Minute Gift Giving

How many people do you have to shop for this holiday season? It can be tricky to find a meaningful gift to give to someone who seemingly has everything, but there are ways to get around this holly jolly debacle. Here are 10 ideas you can use to make last minute gift gifting a breeze.

1. Pet Treats

Does the gift receiver own a pet pup? If so, there are many recipes available for peanut butter and pepperoni flavored homemade dog treats! And for the kitty lovers, there are recipes for them, too. This is great whether you're a good cook or not!

2. Human Treats

Besides all the goodies at Christmas dinner, anyone would enjoy taking home their personal stash of chocolate chip/snickerdoodle cookies, oreo ball truffles, or candy cane lollipops!

3. Ring Cones

To place on your dresser, nightstand, bathroom sink, or wherever you put your jewelry away. It's artistic, practical, and relatively inexpensive! If you're feeling it, you can spring for stacking rings to add to the package.

4. Boxer Shorts

For men or ladies, we all like to slip into loose, soft shorts every now and then! Find wild patterns and designs to add personality to your odd yet comfortable gift.

5. Slippers/Booties

Because cold feet is not cool. That being said, don't overlook the sock aisle either!

6. Insulated Traveler Coffee Mug


Because life is on the go! And we need our caffeine fixes, don't we? This is something that goes overlooked for its simplicity, but it is totally necessary for anyone from the college student to the working man! They can get expressive too, complete with words, colors or patterns!

7. A Memory Pillow

For Christmas I'll be sewing my grandpa a memory pillow. It's made from two of my grandma's old sweaters and two pillow inserts. I know it'll make him smile to see my grandma's sweaters be repurposed.

8. Bluetooth speaker

Jeff and I love his Oontz speaker. It not only produces loud music, but it's also great quality.

9. A bowl

Because your family may or may not smoke weed #ChristmasTree #Litmas

10. Personalized Stuffed Stocking

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. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
