The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

People are going to think you have Santa on speed dial when you hand them the perfect gift this year! Here’s a list of gifts for every person on your list this season (don’t forget to check it twice):

For Your Parents:My dad usually receives a tie from every relative, so this year I plan on giving him a nice Fairfield shirt. I also found this great plaque, along with many others that would look great in any father’s office. Thoughtful gifts like these will put a smile on his face when he’s missing you while you’re at school.

My mom loves scarves, lotion, candles, etc. For many years, I’ve bought my mother a bottle of lotion from Bath and Body Works and included a gift certificate for a manicure. This soothing scented lotion is one of my mom’s favorites to put on before bed; she also loves lighting this candle while getting ready for a night out.

For Your Favorite Girlfriends:This year, my friends and I agreed on giving each other something small to make each other smile. Francesca’s Boutique has so many great little gifts that are perfect for your friends. From their endless amount of jewelry to their home accessories, you’re sure to find something perfect for your BFF.

For the Guys in Your Life:Whether it be your boyfriend, brother, or cousin, boys can be really difficult to shop for. My younger brother always needs a little help in the style department, so I tend to buy him clothes. Some other options perfect for guys are gift cards to places like Best Buy (video games), Chipotle, or American Eagle for them to pick out their own clothes.

For Your Sister:All sisters generally love makeup and getting their nails done. Sephora has great options for little gifts from $10 and under. If she’s not into beauty products, every girl could use another phone case or a new sweater
