It’s getting colder, so what better way to gift someone than to give them warm socks? Find socks that add a touch to their personality or fashion sense, like knee-high socks for their winter outfit or pug sucks! If they enjoy cozying up in their beds by reading a book and drinking a warm cup of tea or coffee, reading socks will add a nice touch to their relaxing atmosphere.

3. Notebooks

Notebooks are a necessity in everyone’s backpack. A writing prompt notebook is a good stress reliever and the perfect creative outlet for your friend whereas a lined notebook with a pretty cover can motivate your friend to use it as a bullet journal, diary, daily planner, or exercise book for their classes. It’s a win-win situation when you get them such a multipurpose item!

4. Scarves

Thick scarves are a necessity during the wintertime for both warmth and fashion. Personalize their scarves according to their fashion sense, be it minimalist, floral, or a knit-pattern. Plaid scarves, infinity scarves, and frayed scarves are always a good choice.

5. Mittens

Another practical gift you can get someone are mittens to brave the cold and trek to school. Though your friend may already have gloves or mittens of their own, having a variation allows them to switch up what they wear on a daily basis.

6. A gag gift

Stuck on what to get them? That’s not a problem. If you have any inner jokes with your friends that remind you of a good memory, buy a gag gift that relates to that and attach a note for them to understand the joke. The both of you will surely get a laugh out of that!
