The holiday season can come and go with a flash. Before you even get the decorations up, it's hello new year, and hello to a thousand new responsibilities. But before the season slips away, make sure that the UNCW student on your list gets the gift that they deserve.
We may live at the beach, but school is no walk in the park. Every grade is well deserved, and honestly, getting the good grades despite living in one of the most critically acclaimed vacation spots on the east coast is a feat of its own. So, here is a list of eight gifts that are sure to make any fellow Seahawk smile.
1. Yoga mat
UNCW is known for chill vibes and a go with the flow attitude. What better way to relax after exams than getting in touch with your inner Yogi. Whether they walk on down to the Rec Center or post up on the beach, yoga is as zen as it gets.
2. Beach chair
So your student would rather lay back than exercise? No worries. Wrightsville Beach is home to beach bums galore, and what better way to take in the rays than sitting in a brand new beach chair.
3. UNCW merch
Our UNCW bookstore is filled with awesome items that bring a new name to school spirit. Sweatshirts, sweatpants, running shorts, you name it, they have it. Because, who actually buys school books at the bookstore anymore?
4. A gift card to Port City Java
For the more practical gift givers, what isn't more useful to a college student than the gift of caffeine? Port city Java is right on campus too, for maximum convenience. Without a heavy dose of Java, how else are those term papers getting done?
5. Floaties
Sure, this may seem silly, but floating on the Wrightsville Beach sound is probably one of the most relaxing things around. This is your chance to think out of the box, with floaties as crazy as donuts, whales, and anything else your mind can think up. It is something a UNCW student is guaranteed to love.
6. Tickets to a show at Ziggy's by the Sea
Ziggy's by the Sea always manages to get the coolest bands to Wilmington. With artists like Badfish, Hinder, and Aaron Carter stopping by this January, there is something for every UNCW student to enjoy.
7. Eno
With a beautiful campus like UNCW it's no surprise that UNCW students love every excuse to be outside. With an Eno, students can find a perfect and shady spot on campus, and carry on their studies outside of Randall library.
8. Rain jacket
To top off the eight perfect gifts, a rain jacket is practical for any UNCW student. While the weather in Wilmington is often beautiful, it is also very unpredictable. A reliable rain jacket to bring to school every day is a must to stay dry and happy on campus.
