With Christmas being right around the corner, stress level is at an all time high for some of us gift-givers. Finals are coming for some of us, and buying gifts is the last thing we college students want to think about! It's crucial to watch the sales (and hey, if you get a dollar store mug, who will notice?) and plan accordingly to get your gifts on a budget.

For Her:

1. Candles

Although it is a more feminine gift, candles can go either way when it comes to Christmas. A good substitute for the $30 Yankee Candle your mom loves, run to Walmart and get her the "off-brand" scent! You'll save about $25, and you know she'll love it.

2. Nail polish

For you mom, aunt, sister, or bff, nail polish can't go wrong! During your Target run you can grab a few wintery colors for them to love.

3. Body wash/lotion

Everyone loves to smell good and feel clean! Head on over to Bath and Body Works and grab a few male and female scents that your family and friends will love! For extra measure, throw in a lufa and a matching lotion, just make sure they like the smell!


For Him:

1. A wallet/money clip

You can't go wrong with getting your dad (or your man) a nice wallet to keep everything in! You could go the next step and grab him a money clip to go with it, too.

2. Lounge pants

Comfy pants to lay around in are always a good start to winter break. Check out the sale racks at Sears or Walmart and get some funny prints for the guys in your life!

3. Cologne

Cologne can be expensive, but it usually last a long time. Find out his favorite scent, and get a gift box set, which usually includes more than one scent, plus body wash. He'll love it, and smell great. It's a win-win!


For kids:

1. Stuffed animals

If they're younger, you can't go wrong with a stuffed animal! Find out their favorite and get them a little friend that they can cuddle with for years to come.

2. Books

Even though it sounds boring, lots of kids love to read. Find out their favorite book series, or get them book themed gifts (blankets, toys, etc.). It will be even better if you can read it to them before bed!

3. Gift card

If they're in the tween/teen years, kids can be hard to buy for. Sometimes money or gift cards are the way to go! Grab a visa gift card and let them spend it where ever they please.

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.

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.
