As we approach the holiday season, which can be described as the most wonderful time of the year, gift exchanging starts to begin. As much as we all wish we could slather our friends, family, and loved with expensive luxury items, we sadly cannot afford to buy our best friend a new car for Christmas. If you are looking for some affordable Christmas ideas then keep reading, so you can find items that both your friends and your wallet will love.

1. Cabin socks.

You can find these at Dick Sporting Goods with a price of 2 for $13.

2. Gourmet chocolates.

Check your local grocery store for gourmet chocolate gift sets that everyone enjoys.

3. Caramels. 

Anything ranging from gourmet caramel sauce to your favorite caramel candies.

4. Candy canes.

Since it's the most jolly time of the year, why not gift some inexpensive, yet traditional sweet treats?

5. A new speaker.

If you are like me and enjoy listening to music, but go through headphones like they're water, then invest in a new portable speaker or some inexpensive headphones since everyone needs a backup.

6. Coffee mugs. 

No matter if your friends are the worlds biggest coffee drinkers or they despise all forms of caffeine, a coffee mug is a great idea since it can be used for almost any drink. Plus the more mugs you own, the merrier and the less amount of dishes you have to do.

7. Customized blanket.

This is a great idea for a loved one or a parent. As the temperatures drop, the demand for blankets increase, so what better way to tell someone you love them than purchasing a blanket with their face on it?

8. Shower essentials.

If you are into Bath & Body Works products or you are a lover of all things shower essentials, then picking out a holiday scent lotion, shower gel, or body spritz is the way to go.

9. A photo frame.

This is a great way to be creative and make an inexpensive sentimental gift for the ones you love the most.

These are perfect for post-dinner family gatherings!

11. Scented candles.

Everyone loves the smell of a fresh pine tree.

This is an essential for staying warm on cold and snowy nights.

Get it with your birthstone!

17. Inspirational wall decor.

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.
