5 Gifts For Under $5

I love Christmas. It is my favorite time of the year, but I am a broke college student. I have a pretty big family, so I am shopping on a budget this year. Here are some ideas that I have thought of to get my family members.

1. Chargers from Five Below

One can never have too many chargers. As of right now, I have seven cords and none of them work. Even my Apple chargers stopped working, and when I am at school I can't run to an Apple store and exchange it. I try to stock up on chargers, so I am always prepared.


2. Photo Monogram Letter

Sometimes, homemade gifts are the best gifts. This is a great way to make a memorable, everlasting gift for someone. This is especially great for a friend because you can fill it with all your favorite pictures with them. Or you can make one for your a mother, put pictures of the family on it, and make the letter the first letter of your last name.


3. Food

You can never go wrong baking someone cookies, brownies, or making a fruit basket. Nothing shows love like yummy food! Pinterest is filled with awesome ideas that you could do.


4. Jewelry

You can find so many cool jewelry for under $5 on Etsy. Not only is it inexpensive, it is unique, and it is helping someone out! Etsy has a lot of cute necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. I have bought a few pieces of jewelry off of Etsy and they have lasted me a long time!


5. Candles

I get my mom a candle almost every year. We always have so many candles out, and they truly add a homey aspect to any household. Candles come in so many different smells, styles, and colors. Any mother, girlfriend, or grandmother would love a candle.

Christmas is approaching fast. If you are anything like me, you are currently stressing about how much you will have to spend on everyone. But I promise you can find so many awesome gifts with a budget! You just have to get creative.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
