With the holiday season quickly approaching, students are juggling their holiday shopping with studying for finals. Where many of us are on a tighter budget these days, we at the Herald thought to comprise a list of some unique finds that won't break the bank.
Easy Crafts for The Insane
It has been a tough year for many of us and this author was no exception. After having two bad years, she chose to craft herself back to sanity. Part memoir, part tutorials, this book is a great gift for the over-thinker in your life!

Bed Bath & Beyond’s 3-Wick Candle
Coming in an assortment of scents, Bed Bath & Beyond’s 3-wick candles are as potent as they are affordable. Loved by all, these candles make a great gift for mom, a co-worker, or as a thank you to someone who has helped make this semester bright!

Little Love Scruff
For our students who are parents, pets can be a tough addition to the family. This fluffy pink toy serves as an opportunity for a young one to test out pet responsibilities as they “rescue” the stuffed animal from its mane of untamed hair.
Ethical Socks
We can all agree that as we age, socks become a gift that appreciate in value. Conscious Step, a company that partners with a number of organizations including Habitat for Humanity and National Alliance for Mental Illness offers trendy, comfy options for the whole family.
