With Black Friday being right around the corner, it is time to start putting some thought into what to ask for for Christmas. Keep in mind that these are also good gifts to give to a friend, girlfriend, or sister.

Rain Boots

If you are looking for a good pair of rain boots to help you get through the spring months, us.hunterboots.com is the place to go.

These are the cutest and most comfortable way to keep your feet dry. They come in many different colors and are $150.

If you are looking for the cheaper version, Target has them starting at $39.99

Vest

Remember that puffy vest you had way back in sixth grade?

Maybe you should not have gotten rid of it.

They are all the rage again, and you can find them almost everywhere, including Francesca’s in the Genesee Valley Mall for $44 and at Macy’s for $60.

Tickets

If you are big into music, concert tickets are an excellent thing to ask for.

However, keep in mind that the concert might not be for a while after Christmas so you must be willing to wait.

Janet Jackson, Black Sabbath, and Blake Shelton will all be at the Palace of Auburn Hills in February.

If you are really willing to wait, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, and 5 Seconds of Summer will all be at the Palace in July. Ticket prices range greatly based on popularity of the artist and what kind of seats you are interested in.

Camera

A Fujifilm Instamax Mini Polaroid camera is perfect for little snapshots that you do not want to lose.

If you are an old soul at heart, this is the gift for you.

They are $47.92 at Walmart.

Phone Case

If you have an iPhone, a glittery phone case is everything you will ever need.

They are thick enough to protect your phone and look cute at the same time.

The most popular glitter cases right now are those with loose glitter. They can be found on Amazon for $9.99 and they come in almost every color.

Cups

Tumbler cups are perfect for anyone who is constantly on the go.

They are easy to clean, unlike regular water bottles, and you can take them with you anywhere.

Walmart has many different types from regular ones with straws, ones without, and even ones shaped like mason jars.

Prices for these range from $4.96 to $10.99 based on size and style.

Watch

Practically everyone asked for a Michael Kors watch last year, but if you missed out, watches are still in style.

You can find practically any color and any brand at Tj Maxx. From Adrienne Vittadini at $24.99 to Escada at $279.99 there is a wide range of prices and styles to fit your (or Santa’s) budget.

Boot Socks

Along with scarves, boot socks are also something that are generally only worn during the winter.

They are warm and cozy and are the perfect fix to those jeans that are a little bit too loose for boots.

Slip these on over your jeans or leggings and then add boots for a cute look that will also help keep you warm.

These are also at Forever 21, in many different colors and lengths, such as thigh highs or knee highs and start at $6.90.

Who wouldn’t want stockings in their stocking on Christmas morning?

Scarves

By Christmas, winter is almost half over, but that does not mean it is too late to ask for new scarves.

Forever 21 has them starting at $5.90 and they can be worn in the winter and spring so you do not have to worry about not getting use out of it before the winter is over.

Scarves are an easy way to dress up an outfit a little without putting forth that much effort.

Monogrammed Items

Remember when you were a little kid and your mom used to have to write your name on the tags in your clothes?

This seems to be making a comeback with monogrammed items.

Anything you could possibly ever want to put your initials on are available at shopmemento.com.

Prices depend on what item you order, but everything from this website is personalized for you. You get to pick the colors and initials for your order.

Some of the items available include raincoats, T-shirts, tumbler cups, and necklaces.

College Dorm Accessories 

Seniors, keep in mind that if you plan on staying on campus somewhere next fall it may be a good idea to ask for things necessary for your dorm, such as your comforter, sheets, and pillow cases.

Also, keep in mind some of the common things people forget, like stamps, an extension cord, plain envelopes, and a hole punch.
