5 Inexpensive Holiday Gifts You Can Find On Amazon

Are you finding yourself panicked about shopping inside of your local mall during the COVID-19 pandemic? Is your heart racing at the thought of driving to six different stores to finally find a gift that's perfect for your best friend? Do you prefer to shop online? If you answered "Yes!" to any of these questions like I did, you've come to the right place. Oh, how I would love for Amazon to sponsor me right about now. Listen up, folks. On Amazon, a simple search of "Holiday gifts" will prompt you to a page where you can click "Holiday gifts: Shop now, wrap later" on the top. DO IT! From there, you will be able to peruse through either "gift deals" or "gift guides." Amazon's "gift guide" page will allow you to see different gift categories ranging from electronics to stocking stuffers. "Gift Deals" will bring you to a page where you will find, well, deals on potential gifts. For example, a heated throw blanket for $45 instead of $60. Let's take a look at what gift deals I managed to find on my hunt for inexpensive, yet perfect holiday gifts.

Echo Dot

Amazon

The list price for this Echo Dot 3rd Gen Smart Speaker was $39.99. Now, it is $24.99. I have one of these, and let me tell you, Alexa may be listening to our every word, but she executes her commands diligently. Alexa, the, "assistant living within the speaker," will answer your questions like: "What's the weather today?" or "Can you play Taylor Swift's new song 'evermore?'" or "Can you turn on the news?" This is a wonderful gift for someone who wants a little company from Alexa and a little more convenience and entertainment in their life.

LED fairy string lights

Amazon

How cute are these string lights? These make a great gift for any age! College students can put these on their wall in their dorm, or families can reap in joy while wrapping them around the Christmas tree. Originally $10.99, now $7.19. With eight modes and it being USB powered with a remote control, these string lights are easy to use and trendy. Throw the string lights in a gift bag with some of the reciever's favorite candy and, voila, holiday gift giving gone right.

LETSCOM smart watch

Amazon

Could this be an Apple Watch dupe? Not could be, darling, it is! This unisex touch screen smart watch tracks your steps, heart rate, calorie intake, sleep, allows you to control your music and sends call/message alerts. Similar to the Apple Watch, there are features like breathing and sedentary alerts that remind you to either relax or get up and stretch. Who wouldn't want to buy this as a gift for a whopping deal of $30.59, down from the non-holiday price of $35.99?

TYMO handheld back massager

Amazon

Common. A cordless back massager? Count me in. If my family is reading this, please and thank you. Now that that is settled, this bad boy was originally $69.99, and now it is only $39.99. This is a gift ideal for someone who has back or neck pain, or someone who just likes to relax with some heat therapy.

Lenox holiday salt & pepper set

Amazon

Of course, I had to throw this one in here. This is a classic holiday salt and pepper shaker set. Originally $29.95, now it is $22.80. Put this in a box with a bow on top, and it makes for a beautiful and practical holiday gift. Grandma and grandpa will love it.

Well, there you have it. It has been quite the year, and the last thing anyone needs right now is more stress, especially at an already chaotic time of the year with the holidays approaching. Just hop on over to Amazon and search through the holiday gift deals and guides. I bet, even besides the options I listed, that you will find some awesome gifts this year. And there's one more thing: you can have the gifts wrapped and delivered right to someone's doorstep, avoiding all contact completely if your family chooses to forgo a holiday gathering this year. Happy shopping! It's addictive, FYI.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
