Christmas time has come around once again and as one of the most busy months of the year, buying gifts is difficult whether you're a college student prepping or taking finals, working, or really anything. For those who've also left gift buying this late, I've compiled a list of ideas of gifts that you can make or buy.

1. DIY

Sometimes the simple things are what mean the most to someone. You could make an adorable picture frame to hold a memorable meaningful moment between you and who you're gifting. A few other DIY ideas are a bath salt jar or homemade ornaments.

2. Ugly Christmas sweater and socks

Okay, who doesn't like or find ugly Christmas sweaters adorable and would love to have more!? It just makes it a hundred percent better with the addition of socks to go along with it.

3. Painted ceramics

Not only does painting a ceramic show that you put the time and thought into what you were making, but it also takes patience and you have a wide variety of options of what to create.

4. Gift cards

Some people are incredibly hard to figure out what they would like or use. So, an easy alternative would be to get a gift card to one of their favorites stores and let them pick out what they will love.

5. Candles

There are so many options to pick from and just knowing who you are gifting, you'll know what scents they'll love.

6. Coffee, hot chocolate, or a candy basket because who wouldn't love it?

This is another fun and easy gift to put together: you'll just need a basket, their favorite coffees, mugs, and some other goodies like candy. An alternative if they do not enjoy coffee is a hot chocolate gift basket.

7. And lastly, listen to what they ask for or need.

Some people just bluntly tell you what they want for Christmas so sometimes it's easier just to get what they ask for. Also, see what they need because I know I've been needing new pants so hopefully my brothers will get the hint.
