The Christmas of your Senior year in college is basically your last shot at your family buying you a sh*t ton. As Seniors, though, we are planning our lives post-grad. This is the gateway to the big leagues, and this is the last chance to attempt to get other people to buy you what you need.
Practicality is key.
1. Money
Obvi, the most important. This leads to the most freedom and best chance of being able to buy what you actually need and not another stocking stuffer.
2. Left-overs to take back to school
The longer you can go without eating in the caf or cooking for yourself, the better.
3. Wool Socks
It's the small things.
4. A nice planner
A gift that'll help you maybe get your life together.
5. Gift Cards
Kind of like Money, but your relatives feel less guilty giving it to you. It'll make them feel like they put thought into your gift, but you still get what you want.
6. Sweaters to last a lifetime
Good sweaters are too expensive but paramount to a happy adult life.
7. Cotton Underwear
Honestly, just like the wool socks, it's the small things.
8. Quality Rain boots
Wellies can be super expensive, but a good pair can last a lifetime. A gift that will keep on giving.
9. Money
10. Alcohol
dRelatives know the good stuff and maybe can show you something better than Natty.
11. Netflix, HBO Go, HULU passwords
Bonus points if you just write the passwords on the card holding the money. Honestly, they don't need to even buy you your own account. Just let you use theirs.
12. A NICE winter jacket
No more “drunk jackets” that can just be left at a frat house, I am stocking up for a real life with hopefully enough money for coat checks at the club.
13. Starbucks gift cards
I won't feel so guilty for buying expensive coffee if it’s basically free
14. Money
"Got money on the mind, and my mind on the money"
So quick share your list with your fam, so they don't continue to think you're a child and buy you something silly.
