The holidays are right around the corner and I know there’s at least one person you plan to bless a gift with. If you’re anything like me, well let’s just say you have “plenty” of time. Yeah I tend to be last minute, but for those who are well ahead of the game, you may be banking on Black Friday. Black Friday has lots of wonderful deals unless you simply just don’t have the funds right now or would rather not stress yourself out with the kaos. No matter the reason, there are still plentiful options for you to achieve that great gift for whoever you’re shopping for and if you’re having trouble, I’m here to be a helping hand!
As said before, Black Friday is always full of great deals but depending on the person, the bad may outweigh the good in this case. If you’d love the same great deal, minus the pressures of Black Friday then Cyber Monday may just be your thing.

In addition to these, department stores such as Marshalls receive shipments all five days of the business week, so there’s always limitless options regardless of how planned or last minute you may be.
Being a college student, you may be aware of websites such as Amazon. With this, you can afford the affordance of having Amazon Prime which can make you rather than break you at such a crucial time. ESPECIALLY if you’re on a time crunch, Amazon Prime can come in clutch with the two-day shipping.
Yes all of these may sound delightful, but just not up your alley. I get it, I get it. You may be in a position where you just can’t afford these options and as a college student, those around us understand that the struggle is real. DIY (Do it yourself) gifts are always fun and could end up being that special gift that someone doesn’t forget. Material presents aren’t all there is to offer someone. You could do things such as scrapbooking, framing a special photo or making a hand scrub for the ladies. There are numberless homemade gifts, but remember these can be more time consuming than purchasing one. No matter your personal circumstance, there’s still time to figure out your holiday surp
