That one person is always hard to shop for. Here’s a gift that they are guarenteed to use and won’t return! The winter soap is crafted using the cold process method of soap making, meaning the glycerin and skin-conditioning oils contained in the Santa Claus bar create a luxurious lather that will leave your skin soft, supple, and deliciously moisturized. Their baby bottom skin will thank you! For $6, give that person some holiday cheer even though they got you socks last year.

For the Person You Despise
Coal

You can find coal anywhere. Lets be honest, they don’t deserve a dime of your money.

Coming across Her Campus as a senior in high school and then leading her very own branch, Emily proudly calls herself the co-president and editor-in-chief of Her Campus University of San Francisco. While Emily has a guilty addiction to shopping, celebrities, and all things "girly" she hopes that she can integrate this into a relatable magazine to the women of her campus. Emily has a slight infatuation for John Krasinski and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. When she's not day dreaming about her future husbands, Emily is participating in many extra curricular activities such as her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. Emily enjoys good company, good FOOD, and a good ole' television. One of the most recent television series Emily has become a fan of is ABC's Pan Am. If only Pan Am continued to exist, Emily would have seriously considered becoming a stewardess. The success of the branch has yet to blossom. Emily hopes that she can bring Her Campus University of San Francisco to its full potential. In the future, Emily plans studying abroad all over the European continent and pursue her passion of social justice through fashion.
