20 Christmas Gifts $100 and Under (12/13)

With Christmas next week and the semester wrapping up this week, it’s time to start thinking presents. Just because your wallet may be looking a little thin doesn’t mean there aren’t great gifts out there to get your friends and family. So here’s 20 options you can get that are $100 and under.


Tech

Just put your iPhone or Android on top of the speaker and that’s it. No wires or outlets needed. The photo shows an iPhone 5 on there for size, but a larger phone on there probably will work too.

Lay It On Me Smartphone Speaker ($11, on sale from $19) at Restoration Hardware


$60 gets you an extra 60 percent battery life on your phone. And it’s the most compact battery pack phone case Mophie has ever made.

juice pack reserve ($60) at Mophie


Sure it isn’t an Apple Watch or a Samsung Gear S2, but once you download their UP app you can track your fitness, food and sleep without having to charge the tracker for 10 days.

UP2 ($100) at Jawbone

For your photographer friend/family member that isn’t satisfied with their iPhone camera but isn’t ready to shell out the money for a DSLR.

4-in-1 Lens ($80 for iPhone 6/6s & iPhone 6/6s Plus, $70 for iPhone 5/5S) at olloclip


They’re audio-only headphones, meaning you can’t control your music or take calls, but Bose is known for quality headphones and for under $100 that’s hard to beat.

SoundSport in-ear headphones ($90, on sale form $100) at Bose


Foodie

For your coffee-loving friend, parent or sibling. It’s hard to go wrong with giving a subscription of coffee beans to a coffee aficionado.

Mistobox (about $80 for a 6-month subscription) at Mistobox


There are people in the world who are just so busy they don’t have time to cook, whether it be yourself, your roommate, or your family. And for $50 it’s practically a steal since slow cookers can cost well over $100. It even has a meat thermometer, which a lot of expensive cookers don’t have so there’s that.

Hamilton Beach Set & Forget 6 qt. Programable Slow Cooker ($50) at Bed Bath & Beyond

From brushed copper to glossy pink to matte lime you can get this triple insulated canteen for starting at $20. Perfect for hot or cold drinks.

Canteen ($20 for 9 oz, $28 for 16 oz, $33 for 25 oz) at Corkcicle


These are perfect for anyone. Even your grandma.

Bad Idea/Good Idea Shot Glasses - Set of 2 ($20) at uncommongoods


It looks like some modern home decor but it’s actually a cocktail shaker. An inexpensive way to practice your bartending skills.

The Bullet Cocktail Shaker ($20 for 28 oz shaker) at Rabbit


For Her

Double-sided makeup brushes are perfect for traveling.

Ovonni 5pcs Makeup Brushes Set ($9) at Amazon


Throwback Thursday anyone? The Fujifilm Instant Print camera has a flash and lets you control some basic camera settings. The photos look like they could have come out of a Polaroid your parents used back in the day.

Fujifilm instax mini 50S Instant Print Camera ($93, an additional $9 for 10 sheets of film) at B&H Photo Video

Red looks good on anyone. And NARS is the place to go for the best lipsticks, pencils and liners.

Magnificent Obsessiont ($49) at NARS


With the amount of plastic that is out there today, a solid wallet is needed to survive the consumer world. Mobile pay is the cool new thing but not every store will take it and when you have store-specific credit cards…well Apple doesn’t accept those either. Kate Spade’s wallet comes in nine fun colors from rose jade to cherry liqueur.

For when you know your girlfriend shops at Victoria’s Secret but the idea of having to walk in there and try and pick out something is scary.

Gift Card (starts at $25) at Victoria's Secret


For Him

Only Drake could possibly make turtleneck sweaters in again. If you’re going to get a turtleneck, Brooks Brothers has a nice fleece one. And if you’re not a fan of the turtleneck, they have other crewneck and v-neck sweaters under $100 as well.

Marled Turtleneck ($99) at Brooks Brothers


Straight razor blades are expensive, and also not something anyone can just pick up and use. The Art of Shaving’s safety razors allow for a close, clean shave with two edges to the blade for longer blade life.

R89 Grande Safety Razor ($75, pack of 10 safety blades for $11) at The Art of Shaving

You can’t go wrong with Nikes.

Nike Air Force 1 ($65, on sale from $90) at Nike


Watches dress up any look. Plus this watch from Timex is a chronograph, meaning you don’t need to take out your phone to time how many beers your frat brother can consume in two minutes. And with the world using digital clocks to tell time, you’ll look smart if you can tell time on an analog clock too.

Weekender Chrono Oversized ($64) at Timex



Men either smell good, or they smell bad. Which is why the wonderful gift of cologne guarantees that they smell good, all the time. Red Polo is a blend of earthy and sweet, and as Esquire said, it’s a cologne for the men who like camping and hiking, but prefer a leather armchair and like to drink bourbon.

Polo Red ($78 for 4.2 oz) at Ralph Lauren


So there you have it. Twenty different Christmas gift options that will make anyone happy. And gift cards always work when you don't know what to buy. Happy shopping!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
