The holiday season is right around the corner and midterms are now over (at least I hope for some of you). I'm getting ready to start holiday shopping, in fact, I already have, so I won't be so stressed out after finals are over, with little cash. Here's some tips for gift buying:
-Don't wait until the last minute to shop for someone. Do you ever go to a store, and see something on sale and think, I don't like that, but so and so would love that. I went shopping to find some more shirts for myself (since my ones are collecting mothballs) and I saw this great gift for my boyfriend on sale: It was a college sweatshirt for only $20. Normally these things are $50
-Always save the bag! I hate having to buy new gift bags that are $3. I try to save any kind of bag that I could possibly give a gift in. You can use handle bags from stores, or recycle what someone else has given you. If you don't have enough, then go to Ross and you can buy a few bags for the price of one!
-Clean out your own closet. I'm in the process of decluttering my apartment, and I found this great make up bag I got from Victoria's Secret which retails for $24. I'm definitely going to use this for one of my friends.
-Make your own gifts. Some of the best gifts I've gotten are ones with the most thought...not the most money spent. I really liked the gifts my friends made me of photos, and inside jokes we had.
-Make your own cards. Cards are expensive! Now that finals are coming up, make cards to take a study break. It relieves stress and it's productive!
