Gift Ideas for the Holidays

During the holiday, people are constantly stressing about what gifts they want to give to special people in their life. Students got the opportunity to fill out a survey about their favorite holiday gifts that they’ve given to people. The majority of them had similar answers or alternative answers because many have given affordable gifts in the past. Some of these ideas may be helpful if you are searching for gift ideas.

The top 10 of the most recommended gifts were:
