Simple Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Significant Other

Are you starting to panic because you still have no idea what to get your significant other for Christmas yet? Don't worry, I basically do it every year so there's nothing wrong with a little last minute shopping! When my fiancé (saying that is still weird) and I started dating it was hard to figure out what gifts to get each other, but I'm here to tell you that you don't have to spend copious amounts of money every year. So, here are some inexpensive ideas on what to get your SO for the holidays.

1. Their favorite movie from 2016

If you have seen a movie with your boyfriend or girlfriend in the past year, this would be a great gift idea for them. In my opinion, it's a cute memento from a date!


2. A cute DIY gift

I'm not super crafty, but if you are, your SO will really appreciate all the thought that went into this gift.


3. Their favorite album from 2016

I don't know if people still buy CD's (I do), but if your boyfriend/girlfriend does this is a good gift that you know they're going to like!


4. Any type of sweets or their favorite foods

If you can cook this is a great way to show your attention to detail. Everyone loves food, so maybe making a plate of his/her favorite cookies or brownies would be the way to their heart this holiday.


5. A piece of clothing they have been vying after

I'm not saying spend 100 dollars on a nice sweater, but scarfs and hats are great winter accessories that really anyone would like to have!


6. MUGS

Yes, seriously, mugs. I get a new mug every year for Christmas and it's my favorite thing ever. I think they are a great inexpensive gift that can relate to anyone.


(Anything with a pun is a plus).

7. Certain jewelry you can find cheap during the holidays

Something easy and affordable can be pandora charms or even watches. I got my SO a really nice fossil watch that was on sale for 50 dollars one Christmas (if he reads this article he may know that now), but he loves it and wears it to work every day.


8. Something to decorate their room/apartment/house

I love getting new things to decorate with, and your SO may too! Something fun and personal like a canvas with inspirational words or even their favorite Star Wars character can be something simple to get!


9. Gift cards

If you are really stumped on what to get, a few gift cards to their favorite store or restaurant is always a plus.


10. Plan a day trip to your favorite place

One thing I really wanted to do during the holidays was go to Chicago and see all of the lights and decorations. I was lucky enough to get a day trip there from my SO and it was a great gift right before Christmas.


These of course are only a few ideas and can be molded into whatever gifts you would want to get your bf/gf. If you have been dating for a long time, maybe you're like me and my fiancé and just tell each other what we want at this point. We usually throw a little surprise in there too, but this ensures we really know what to get each other. But if you like keeping the mystery alive but are strapped for cash because college life takes all of your money, I hope that these simple ideas influence some of your own great ones for the holiday season!

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

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.
