Hot holiday items 2012

With the holidays right around the corner, there is one question on everyone’s mind: what gifts should I give? Shopping for your parents, your siblings and your best friends can be challenging. When coming up with gift ideas, one must remember it really is the thought that counts. Whether you buy an extravagant item or make up free chores coupons, the person receiving your gift will no doubt love it. Here are some of this holiday season’s hottest gifts:

For the parents:

The Kindle Fire. While it is a large purchase, you could always split the cost with your siblings or even another family member. Your parents will love it because they will be able to read thousands of books, papers and magazines without the hassle of bookmarks, losing pages and creating clutter. The Kindle Fire also includes access to internet, which would allow your new-to-Facebook parents to keep connecting with their friends, giving you more laptop time!

For the best friend:

Do it yourself Instagram photo strip. Your friend will love the thought and effort you put into this gift. Also, they will be able to keep the photo strips in their bedroom, locker and dorm-room when they go to college. Here’s how to make it: http://www.thecollegeprepster.com/2012/01/tutorial-instagram-photostrips.html

For the older brother or sister:

If your brother or sister are 16, give them a gas card. Gas is getting expensive at $3.09 a gallon. Every teenager who drives dreads filling up their tank, so they’ll love not having to pay for gas for a while!

For the younger brother or sister:

The Furby is back!! They will love playing with the plush toy. Unlike the old Furby, the new model is able to be fed and tickled. How you treat the Furby helps determine its own personality!

DIY gift ideas:

S’More Loving. Put 4 graham crackers, 4 pieces of chocolate and 4 marshmallows in a small baggie. The person receiving this will love the fun and deliciousness that will come from the s’mores!

The holidays are always chaotic. Between finishing up finals and pounding out extra credit, it is hard to find the perfect gift for someone.
