11 Unique Gifts To Give This Holiday Season

The holiday season is upon us, which means that there's about to be a whole lot of gift giving going on. I, for one, have reached reached my limit on giving generic mugs or taking advantage of the 6 for $24 soap sale at Bath & Body and splitting them up among friends. For those of you who want to go beyond candles, perfume, and fuzzy socks, here is a list of unique gifts to give this holiday.

1. Uterus Pillow- $20

I Heart Guts has the line of the cutest plush organs you've ever seen, complete with punny names like "Womb Service" and "Ain't Life Gland?" I, however, am partial to the uterus.

2. Wax Warmer- price varies

Whether it's a fancy shmancy warmer from Scentsy or a generic one from Walmart, these flameless little gems have the warm scent and ambiance of a candle, without the risk of your cat accidentally burning the house down.

3. Personalized Handwriting Bracelet- $31.00

Diamond earrings are never not a wonderful gift, but this Etsy shop customizes jewelry with a bit more of a personal touch.

4. Dollar Shave Club- $3-9/month

This is the gift that keeps on giving- as long as you keep paying for the subscription. This monthly supply of razor blades is perfect for men and women and ensures that your loved ones never shave with a dull razor again.

5. Himalayan Salt Lamp- $29.99

There are a lot of science-y/health reasons to own a himalayan salt lamp, on top of the fact that they're just plan beautiful. They are also sold in the form of smaller wall plug-ins and tea candle holders.

6. Swear Word Coloring Books- $7.54

This adult coloring books make a perfect book for the people in your life who have equally colorful language.

7. "Pocket Projector"- $149.99

This handy dandy gadget is perfect for die hard movie lovers and gamers, as it can turn any wall or ceiling into your own personal home theater.

8. Amazon Prime Membership- $99/year

I only spend $50/year on my membership since I'm a student, but I would gladly pay double that for the convenience, perks, and free shipping. Give the gift of Prime to the Amazon enthusiast in your life.

9. A Donation in Their Name

A lot of adults can be hard to shop for because when they need something, they just go buy it. It's truly special to know that the lives of others have been improved in your honor. This holiday season, consider making a donation to one of your loved ones' favorite causes, like St. Jude's, Planned Parenthood, Salvation Army, or the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

10. Smart Herb Garden- $60

What's more self-sufficient than growing your own food? Even if that food is tiny herbs grown in your brand new Click & Grow Smart Herb Garden Starter Kit from Urban Outfitters... Trust me, I attempted to grow herbs sans facy gadget and do you know what I got? A bunch of sad mugs of dirt.

11. Microwaveable Stuffed Animals- $18.59

Trust me, it's not as morbid as it sounds. These adorable stuffed animals have a calming lavender scent and can be microwaved or frozen to suit your needs. Trust me, every girl you know will be cuddling these comforting heat packs for dear life at least once a month.


May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and gifts as unique as yourselves.

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.

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?
