By Jacob Derkosh, Reporter

It is the time of year again when everyone is ready for the holiday break, full of sleeping and relaxation.

However, people love to get their friends gifts for the holidays, but as teenagers, typically they do not have the proper funds to get everything they want to get everyone.

In preparation for the holidays, here are some thoughtful, budget-friendly gifts suggested by Susquehannock students.

The idea of party food may sound absurd, but when considering how one can help make or break a special occasion, it can seriously help.

When the weather outside is frightful, and your feet don’t feel delightful, fuzzy socks will help anyone feel much better with warmth and comfort.

“Every girl loves fuzzy socks and hats, so who wouldn’t want some?” said Wojcik.

Junior Julianna Kessler suggested a gift card to someone’s favorite location for a thoughtful present.                                                                                          Screenshot Image Courtesy of PriceChopper

With nearly every location nowadays containing gift cards to their own business, it would be a thoughtful gift if one were to receive one for their favorite restaurant, store, theatre or any other type of business.

“Sometimes simple gifts mean a lot more than you think,” said Kessler.

The scrunchies are used by nearly everyone and more types are more favorable for certain people.

“Everyone walking around with them clearly enjoy them,” said Baibos.

While this gift may be harder to look out for, compatible phones may be a good idea for this specific gift, even if they are emergencies.
