Christmas is soon right around the corner, and a lot of students fear that they won’t have enough time or money for Christmas presents.<br />

But fret not, dear reader, Christmas gifts do not need to be overly expensive! Here are some of the ideas that we collected for cheap and<br />

affordable gifts for you and your broke student friends!<br />

Write a personal coupon! It could be anything from doing an act of service for a loved one, or a small experience together!<br />

Acts of service gift ideas:<br />

• Babysitting.<br />

• Do weekly groceries.<br />

• Help cleaning the kitchen/living room/car.<br />

• Build Ikea furniture.<br />

• Shovel snow.<br />

Activities to do together:<br />

• Have a baking day.<br />

• Go on a hike with a bonfire.<br />

• A trip to a cabin.<br />

• Go ice skating in the city.<br />

• Movie night at home, with popcorn included ;)<br />

If you are into arts, crafts or perhaps baking, why<br />

not make something creative for this Christmas!<br />

Something homemade:<br />

• Christmas cards.<br />

• A drawing or painting.<br />

• A knitted or crocheted scarf.<br />

• A box with baked goods! Christmas cookies like<br />

gingerbread is always appreciated!<br />

• Homemade scrub recipe for hands & lip in a jar.<br />

• Taco seasoning, already mixed in a jar.<br />

• Chocolate chip cake/mug cake.<br />

And then we have the<br />

practical/useful gifts:<br />

• Candles.<br />

• Tea/coffee.<br />

• Soap.<br />

• Socks.<br />

• Umbrella.<br />

• Notebooks/stationaries/art supplies.<br />

• Extra batteries. You never know<br />

when you need them!<br />
