What do you want for Christmas? A survey of the top gifts at Ouachita
January 01, 2020
The holiday season has quickly snuck up on us again. With the busyness of finals,
packing up and heading home for the next month, who’s had time to shop for Christmas
gifts? No one. Well, we did some of the work and conducted an unscientific survey
of students on campus to get an idea of the most popular gifts this season. I hope
this helps you in your holiday shopping, relieves some last-minute stress and makes
the season merrier.
Top 5 gifts at Ouachita:
- A puppy (always the number one thing on every list that no one ever actually gets)
- A trip to a luxurious location (by luxurious I mean Wisconsin, Florida or Paris)
- An Apple watch
- Money (the classic, go-to gift for those last-minute shoppers)
- Makeup/makeup brushes
Don’t stress this holiday season. College kids are usually pretty easy to buy for.
Gift cards and money usually does the trick. As for everyone else, it’s not the gift
that matters, but the thought behind the gift that is the real reason for the season.

it’s somewhat unrealistic.
