10 Simple and Easy Gift Ideas For Your Secret Santa
Her Campus

The holiday season is here! And you know what that meets, it's the season of Secret Santa gift exchanges and scrambling to figure out exactly what to get your Secret Santa. Not sure what to get that one person you've never talked to before and who of course you've been assigned? Here's a list of ten simple and cute gift ideas for your gift exchanges this year!


1. A Starbucks/Coffee shop gift card and Mug.

Easy to put together, and perfect for every coffee lover as final season approaches!

2. A bottle of nail polish in her favorite color and a nail file.

Instant manicure treat yo self day! Definitely this will be the gift that keeps on giving. All you need to do is slyly figure out her favorite color, pick out an awesome nail polish, and then you're set.

3. A scarf and a pair of gloves.

The winter season is here, and what could be a better or more practical gift than a scarf and a pair of gloves? Your Secret Santa will be warm and toasty and loving you for her new scarf and gloves.

4. A $5 DVD from Walmart, a box of microwavable popcorn, and a box or two of movie theater-style candy

While I am completely aware that this is the age of Netflix, giving your Secret Santa her very own instant at home movie night is a treat she can look forward to at the end of a long week.

5. A pair of warm fuzzy socks and a set of pajamas.

You can find cheap pajamas practically anywhere if you don't want to spend a lot of money, and this particular gift idea grants your Secret Santa the gift of being comfortable.

6. A scented lotion and matching shower gel set.

Looks like the perfect present, usually pretty reasonably priced, and smells amazing!

7. A fuzzy blanket and a pair of slippers.

Clearly, I am a fan of being comfortable. But hey, who isn't?!

8. A matching necklace and bracelet set, or necklace and earrings, etc.

In my opinion, the sparklier the better for this option.

9. A bucket full of her favorite snacks!

Similar to the movie idea, but for this one just grab all of her favorite goodies and hand it over. She will love you forever.

10. A notebook and pen set.

For the writer or creative soul, or just someone who likes to write lists or jot down her thoughts.

Happy shopping this holiday season, and good luck with all your gift exchanges!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
