Ahhh, it’s that glorious time of year. Classes are over, finals are over, the semester is… OVER! Now the best part of winter is creeping around the corner: the holidays! No matter what you celebrate, there is always one gift at the top of your list. So, we’ve gathered a few staff members ideas who know exactly what they want this holiday season.
1. Beats Solo3 Wireless Headphones
I’m not really an AirPods girl, so these are the next best thing. I’m traveling over break and frequent the gym a lot, so these will be perfect to sport around. And if you think about it — they double as ear-muffs!
2. Canon EF 40mm lens
Staff writer Hafeezat Bishi wants this lens for the holidays to step up her camera game. Winter break will be prime time to test out this new baby!
3. Colorful pens and crystals

“My wishlist this year (to my boyfriend because my family gave up Christmas gifts now that we are all adults) was fun, colorful pens and crystals. I didn’t ask for specific crystals, I want him to pick crystals he looks at and thinks of me/feels something towards.” — Jaycie Hricak , treasurer
4. We Should All Be Mirandas
“My favorite instagram @everyoutfitonsatc released a book We Should All Be Mirandas. I’ve been a Sex and the City fan for too long and I’m so excited to read it!” — Maggie Mancini , FOB/BOB editor
5. Anthropologie Scarf
Staff writer Milly McKinnish wants to snuggle up to the Delany Plaid Fringed Scarf from Anthropologie!
6. Air fryer
“The number one thing on my Christmas list is an air fryer. I cook a lot and my roommate recently got one — it’s been amazing.” — Taylor Franck, co-PR/events director
Need a late-ish gift for your roommate, college pal, or family member you won’t be seeing until after the holidays? Look no further.
If you’re stuck on what you want or what to give, sets are the perfect gift for you or your loved ones. Pro-tip: a lot of sets go on sale after the holidays, as these companies will introduce new products and styles for 2020.
