Five Gift Ideas To Get Your Loved Ones For The Holidays
Craig Greenwood

With the holiday season coming up, I bet you are freaking out about what to get your parents, grandparents or your loved ones for the upcoming holidays. No fear, we are here to give you some ideas about what to get your loved ones for the upcoming holidays.

1. Holiday Gift Basket

You can make a holiday gift basket yourself and fill it with whatever things that your loved ones like. In the basket that I am making for one of my grandmas, I am putting the coconut bar soap that she likes into her gift basket as well as orthopedic slippers since she always has aches in her feet. The key to this gift basket is to make it personalized so that your loved one will like at least one of the items that you put into it.

2. A Diffuser and Essential Oils

Everyone loves nice smelling things so why not get your loved one a diffuser! Also, in the case that your loved ones have a diffuser already, you can get some new essential oils that they haven't tried out yet or just get them the ones they like so they can re-stock their supply.

3. Photo Prints

Whether you print a photo just to frame it or get a framed canvas print, you can never go wrong with getting nice photos framed! You can do this at Walmart or Walgreens.

4. Nespresso Or Keurig Machine

Your loved one probably likes coffee and/or tea so maybe look into buying a Nespresso/Keurig machine. If your loved one has a machine already, you could pick and choose some flavors or get the additional accessories for the machine.

5. Handmade or Artisan Goods.

Handmade items are great during the holidays, because you are putting in the time and effort to make an item yourself and you can customize it to your loved ones liking. You could try knitting a blanket or creating a painting for your loved ones. There are endless possibilities with handmade goods. Also, if you don't have any DIY inspiration or artistic abilities, you can get an item made especially for your loved one through Etsy or Amazon.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
