By Meghanne Adams–The Southern Hills Mall has their Christmas decorations up, so it must be a cue for shoppers to start Christmas shopping. With finals also on the horizon, getting your Christmas shopping out of the way might not be a bad idea. Especially since the people you might be buying gifts for will be going their separate ways a week or more before Christmas when campus closes.
If you’re a college student shopping on a budget, and shopping for a girl, Charlotte Russe is worth a look. The styles appeal to high school through college age students and they even offer a student discount if you have your student ID with you.
Accessories make great gifts. They are fairly inexpensive at CR and they are items that shoppers sometimes skip because they feel guilty splurging on items for themselves and racking up their bill on top of the basics for an outfit. CR has a wide variety of scarves all around $10, and their jewelry is almost always under $10. They offer a 2 for 10 deal with jewelry as well. The gift will be easy on the eyes, and easy on your wallet.
Homemade gifts are always special, really easy to personalize and inexpensive. Thanks to pinterest, these kinds of gifts are trendier than ever. A good idea for this holiday season is a personalized plate or coffee mug. Using a Pebeo Porcelaine pen or Sharpie marker, write anything on the plate or the mug. This could be their initials, favorite quote, inside joke, etc.
Follow the wait and baking instructions on the pen, or for the sharpie bake the item at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Combine this personalized gift with cookies or hot chocolate mix and you have an inexpensive, personalized Christmas gift.
Thanks to www.pinterest.com, here is an example of a mug.
