11 Unique Gifts To Give This Holiday Season

The holiday season is upon us, which means that there's about to be a whole lot of gift giving going on. I, for one, have reached reached my limit on giving generic mugs or taking advantage of the 6 for $24 soap sale at Bath & Body and splitting them up among friends. For those of you who want to go beyond candles, perfume, and fuzzy socks, here is a list of unique gifts to give this holiday.

1. Uterus Pillow- $20

I Heart Guts has the line of the cutest plush organs you've ever seen, complete with punny names like "Womb Service" and "Ain't Life Gland?" I, however, am partial to the uterus.

2. Wax Warmer- price varies

Whether it's a fancy shmancy warmer from Scentsy or a generic one from Walmart, these flameless little gems have the warm scent and ambiance of a candle, without the risk of your cat accidentally burning the house down.

3. Personalized Handwriting Bracelet- $31.00

Diamond earrings are never not a wonderful gift, but this Etsy shop customizes jewelry with a bit more of a personal touch.

4. Dollar Shave Club- $3-9/month

This is the gift that keeps on giving- as long as you keep paying for the subscription. This monthly supply of razor blades is perfect for men and women and ensures that your loved ones never shave with a dull razor again.

5. Himalayan Salt Lamp- $29.99

There are a lot of science-y/health reasons to own a himalayan salt lamp, on top of the fact that they're just plan beautiful. They are also sold in the form of smaller wall plug-ins and tea candle holders.

6. Swear Word Coloring Books- $7.54

This adult coloring books make a perfect book for the people in your life who have equally colorful language.

7. "Pocket Projector"- $149.99

This handy dandy gadget is perfect for die hard movie lovers and gamers, as it can turn any wall or ceiling into your own personal home theater.

8. Amazon Prime Membership- $99/year

I only spend $50/year on my membership since I'm a student, but I would gladly pay double that for the convenience, perks, and free shipping. Give the gift of Prime to the Amazon enthusiast in your life.

9. A Donation in Their Name

A lot of adults can be hard to shop for because when they need something, they just go buy it. It's truly special to know that the lives of others have been improved in your honor. This holiday season, consider making a donation to one of your loved ones' favorite causes, like St. Jude's, Planned Parenthood, Salvation Army, or the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

10. Smart Herb Garden- $60

What's more self-sufficient than growing your own food? Even if that food is tiny herbs grown in your brand new Click & Grow Smart Herb Garden Starter Kit from Urban Outfitters... Trust me, I attempted to grow herbs sans facy gadget and do you know what I got? A bunch of sad mugs of dirt.

11. Microwaveable Stuffed Animals- $18.59

Trust me, it's not as morbid as it sounds. These adorable stuffed animals have a calming lavender scent and can be microwaved or frozen to suit your needs. Trust me, every girl you know will be cuddling these comforting heat packs for dear life at least once a month.


May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and gifts as unique as yourselves.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
