Ultimate Gifts For The Creative Person In Your Life
Lauren Cecchi

As the holiday season draws near, putting together gifts for the special people in your life moves to the top of any to do list. Trying to find thoughtful but meaningful gifts for the designers, writers, or musicians in your life can be challenging, as we often don't ask for much. Here is a short but concise list of possible gifts for the creative people in your life.


1. HP Sprocket Printer

HP recently released a portable printer, about the size of an iPhone, that prints 2”x3” photos instantly from your camera roll. Download the HP app and connect to the printer via Bluetooth and print your pictures in a matter of minutes. It uses no ink and no cartridges; paper is all you need. This device is great for the person who loves looking back on old memories.

2. Amazon Echo

Amazon echo is basically Siri but for your house, or for a designer, studio. It’s always listening, and if that doesn’t creep you out, this device can come in handy. It can stream music from Spotify, read sports scores, add items to your calendar, and much more. It recognizes your voice above the music it’s playing, and from across the room. It has technology that continues to learn your voice, therefore responding faster to you. Amazon echo would be the ultimate gift for that person in your life who is always using Siri.

3. Wireless Headphones

With the release of the new iPhone 7, wireless headphones are becoming a trend. Wireless headphones are a simple but thoughtful gift for those in your life who are always working with their hands. Headphone wires tend to become a hassle for designers in studio trying to draw or build a model.

4. Coloring Books

Coloring books are making a comeback; this time, for adults. A lot of coloring books are themed, therefore allowing you to cater to whom you’re gifting to. It seems like a cheesy gift, but I promise, if you’re gifting to a creative person, they’ll love you for it.


Hopefully you'll take some of these things into consideration while shopping this holiday season.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
