10 Christmas Gifts for Under $20

With Christmas coming up in less than 40 days, it's time to start thinking about presents for loved ones. Most of us are in college, which means most of us are probably on a budget. So I have compiled a list of 10 gifts ranging from $9.00 to $20.00 with options everywhere in between. Most of the items on this list aren't Christmas themed, which means can be changed to fit any holiday or birthday you need them to! Click on the pictures to be linked to where you can buy the items! So let's get started!

1. Coloring Book - $9.57

We are all children at heart, and one of my favorite parts of childhood was all my coloring books!

2. Custom Notepad - $9.99

For the organizer in everyone, at least make it pretty with some customizable notepads. You can pick from different flowers and patterns and put the recipients name on it!

3. State Lovin' Metal Keychain - $16.00

Perfect for those who picked a college out of state, or just those who love their home state.

4. Turf Coasters - $14.95

For the avid baseball fan, help them protect their furniture with some nice turf field coasters.

5. Luggage Tags - $11.99

For the person who loves to travel, make it easier for them to find their bags in the airport with these bright luggage tags.

6. XL Wine Glass - $9.99

For those over the age of 21, this extra large wine glass can hold an entire bottle of wine, perfect for a night with the girls.

7. Refrigerator Magnet Sets - $16.44+ (CAD)

Who remembers playing with refrigerator magnet words, well now they have them for nerds too. Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones. There are so many options, something to please everyone. But be aware, prices can change depending on which option you select.

8. Social Interaction T-Shirt - $19.99

For those people who don't like much social interaction, this is the shirt for them.


9. Zooquarium - $19.99

A lot of college kids feel lonely at some point during the year, and sometimes a pet can help with that. A lot of dorms let students have fish as pets, they're fairly easy to take care of and can be fun. But with these fun tanks, it just makes it even more interesting.

10. Stress Buster Desktop Punching Bag - $17.39

Something everyone, at any age, will love. Everyone gets stressed at times, and the perfect way to relieve that stress can be sitting right on your desk.

So here are 10 gifts to give this holiday season, all under $20, but please keep in mind that the prices given here do not include sales tax or shipping costs if it is needed.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
