Last Minute Christmas Gifts You Should Definitely Give

UncommonGoods.com is a website full of wander and excitement. There are so many things you never thought of and never even knew were available to buy. Here is a list of only twenty of them, but I encourage you to check out more. Happy last minute Christmas shopping to you all!

1. For your nerdy friend

This plate apparently reads, “i eight sum pi”… maybe you have friends who can read that, and if so, hopefully they like pie.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/i-eight-sum-pi-plates

2. For your sassy classy friend

These are wine soaps. I am not classy enough to understand, but I can tell they are classy just like I can tell when to cheer in a football game.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/wine-soaps-set-of-4

3. For your adventuring friend

This is a scratch map. You scratch off where you’ve been. I’m talking in short sentences because I can’t contain myself. Too excited. I understand wanting this as much as I don’t understand the wine soaps. (There is also a Deluxe version. It is prettier and more expensive.)

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/scratch-map

4. For your music major friend

It’s a transposing ring. If this isn’t self-explanatory, it will be for your friend that practices music. Either they will appreciate it or pretentiously look at you like you’re dumb for assuming they couldn’t do this on their own. I have both friends.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/musical-transposition-ring

5. For your friend with a dream

I don’t know if this is anyone else’s dream, but I want to learn to play a five string banjo and you should too.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/5-string-banjo

6. For your bearded friend

HAHA. Okay, I’m obsessed with this. That’s all I have to say.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/beard-pack

7. For your coffee loving friend

We all have that friend who loves coffee so much that they’ll find themselves wired on caffeine at 4 a.m. Good news is, they have special time-of-the-day coffee! This is great news!

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/morning-noon-and-night-coffee

8. For your businessy and adulty friend

It genuinely took me a minute to figure out what this is. It is a “Custom Beach Sand Tie Bar.” As in like, a bar, for ties…like, your adulty guy friend who wears ties to work can put this on it and feel classy? I think? Maybe you don’t wear it. I don’t know but it’s a great gift!!!

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/custom-beach-sand-tie-bar

9. For your friend who probably does yoga

It’s a glass teapot on a stand, but it sure looks zen and hip to me!

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/glass-teapot-with-stand

10. For your “hostess with the mostest” friend

This is literally called a “People Feeder”. Every party needs a people feeder, in my opinion.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/people-feeder

11. For your spontaneous and hungry friend

You can roll the dice and see what’s on the table tonight. I love the term “foodie”. I wish I was a foodie…they have such sweet Instagrams.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/foodie-dice

12. For your loved and loving friend

It’s a “What I Love About You by Me Book”. You can either give this gift written in by you, or give it to a friend to write themselves. How versatile! I suggest telling them what you love about them. Honestly, there is opportunity for genuine love AND satire here…what could be better?

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/what-i-love-about-you-by-me-book

13. For your whimsical friend

Your whimsical friend, which in this case can also be your “always late” friend, will appreciate your recognition of how they feel when getting ready to meet you for lunch!

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/whatever-clock

14. For your “old soul” friend

It’s a sewing kit! Nothing says, “make me new cool clothes” like the tools to do it. If you’re lucky enough to have a grandma in a twenty-something’s body as a friend…this is the perfect subtly selfish gift you can give!

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/sewing-station

15. For your full of life friend

So colorful! So happy! Much rainbow! Such cheer. Who doesn’t want sprinkles? Maybe a lot of people, but we all have that friend whose beaming smile would love to score these!

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/party-sprinkles

16. For your “dog mom” friend

They’re custom-made nose print necklaces. They are also expensive. Regardless, your “dog mom” friend is so blinded by their adoration of their baby pup, that they would honestly probably just pitch in for their own gift.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/custom-pet-nose-print-necklaces

17. For your way-too-practical friend

I want one, honestly. I mean, it’s a TOOTHPASTE WRINGER. I want it, but, I do not want to spend money on it. What a sweet gift.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/tube-wringer

18. For your “out of the box” friend

This seems weird, but I know someone just popped into your head. Go for it. Get it. Think of the joy it will bring THAT friend…

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/unicorn-horns

19. For your minimalist friend

It’s called a “happy life box” and I’m sure it would make a dandy paperweight or place to store tiny keepsakes.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/happy-life-box

20. For your interior designer friend

I’ll bet you could do more decorative things than use it as a vase. I wouldn’t know, but an interior designer would. I see bubbles, they see versatile. How neat.

Can be purchased here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/caterpillar-bud-vase

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
