The holiday season seems to creep up on us as the winds grow colder and the days get shorter. Before we even realize it, the holidays are well underway. It’s a tale as old as time- you spend November delaying your holiday shopping, as “Thanksgiving hasn’t even happened yet!” December rolls around, and “…there’s still plenty of time, I’m waiting on the holiday discounts.” Then, in a moment it’s Christmas morning, the first night of Chanukah, the first day of Kwanzaa, or any of the various winter holidays, and guess who still hasn’t gone gift shopping? You!
Of course, as high schoolers, there is an added complication to holiday shopping. That is, how is said shopping going to be funded? Many of us may scrounge up enough cash to get our loved ones wonderfully extravagant dollar-store keychains. You can also attempt to drag out the “hand-drawn parent coupon book” act for another year. However, why let another year go by throwing scraps to your loved ones when you can use this affordable gift guide instead? Links are separated by title, but I can assure you that anyone on your list would appreciate any and everything regardless of their role.
