The Season of Giving
It’s that time of year again, the season of giving! Everyone wants to just find the perfect gift for someone, but what might that be? This year many new products have come out that might be the one you’re looking for, but not all presents have to be store-bought. Homemade and thoughtful ones mean just as much or more to someone.
“The thoughtful gifts are always the best to receive and give, especially homemade ones since they actually took time, effort and thought…If I could have any gift in the world, it would probably be to hangout with all the important people in my life on Christmas,” Junior Ashley Jackson stated.
Although if you’re looking for a little bit of an easier route, some ideas can be new Apple products, hoodies, new shoes, face products, video games, and accessories would be a great idea.
“Face products, Apple products, gaming stuff things like these always bring excitement,” Freshman Mackenzie Perry added.
It really just depends on who you are buying things for, whether it be teenager, adult, or child, the answers will vary. Everyone has had a favorite
gift that they have received, maybe it was a pet, a Barbie house, or gaming equipment.
“One of my favorite gifts was from when I was younger, over seven years ago, was this massive Barbie play house that my dad spent numerous laborious hours on. Him telling me that when I was much older was really funny,” Freshman Grace Grinder stated.
It isn’t always about the best gift or item, but more the memory and being with family. Sometimes the best gift you can give is simply being there for someone when they need it. Other times, the best gift can be watching someone else enjoy the present you gave them.
