The holiday gift guide: LAHS edition
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — Don’t want to deal with the holiday gift-shopping stress? Check out this gift guide made for anyone at Los Alamitos High School!
One great gift option is fuzzy socks! They can combine the cozy and festive aesthetics into one present. Plus, they’re perfect for when you get cold feet after requesting a schedule change at the end of the semester.
You can get this item from Amazon for $9.99.
A 3-pack of neutral colors ($11.99) or a pack of five striped fuzzy socks ($17.99) are a few other cute options to consider.
This gift will definitely be used during these colder months!
With finals coming up, give a student you know some well-deserved peace by gifting them a Target almond croissant-scented candle! The cozy, baked-good scent is sure to replicate a delicious bakery.
You can still have your holiday feast, burn this delicious scented candle and stay fit. Congratulations!
You can get this item from Target for $10.
If sweet-smelling dessert scents aren’t what you’re looking for, there are other festive options available. You can’t go wrong with classic lavender and chamomile ($14.99) peppermint-cedar ($11.89) or aloe-bergamot ($5.00).
Pulling an all-nighter isn’t too uncommon for high schoolers.
That’s why getting a pair of blue light glasses for $15.99 is a smart move. Blue light glasses reduce eye strain while staring at a screen for hours on end.
A limited-edition Starbucks holiday blend ($8.99) is perfect for coffee lovers who need an extra pep in their step.
Midnight snackers will also enjoy this dark chocolate caramel popcorn cluster mix ($5.99). It’ll be gone by New Year’s!
If you’re late-night studying plans are unsuccessful, a cozy throw blanket ($10) would make a nap complete. There are a variety of patterns and materials out there for you to choose from for your gift, so have fun with it!
When you come back from a chilly day at school, these are perfect snuggle buddies for your mid-day naps!
A Squishmallow reindeer ($21.99), a fuzzy Christmas tree ($10.99) or this pocket-sized plush gingerbread ($10.59) would look so cute under the tree.
Have you ever seen the reversible octopus that displays a range of moods with a single flip? This reversible reindeer ($13.29) from the same brand reimagines the design in a festive way.
There’s also this soft, cuddly polar bear with a red scarf ($14.99). This would go perfectly on a bed or shelf!
Why not get one more ornament for the tree?
You can personalize your ornament for the receiver by basing it on their hobbies, personality or interests.
The brand Jellycat offers a lot of adorable ornaments or stocking stuffers: a little penguin keychain ($25), a puppy with a red scarf ($20) and a tiny snowman ($15).
Seasonal favorite characters are also sure to brighten up a Christmas tree. This Buddy the Elf ornament ($9.99) is the perfect present.
A glittery, gold seasonal house ($3) also sparkles brighter than a tree topper.
If you want to do a gift roundup, try making a “Brr Basket” — the winter alternative to a Halloween “Boo Basket.” Although this choice is on the expensive side, this gift basket is filled with an array of goodies anyone will enjoy. It’s anything but chilly!
