SAN JOSE, CALIF.—In a few weeks, Christmas—the season of giving, is arriving and Silver Creek students are ready to give gifts to friends and family. So here is an early gift guide that raiders imputed together in preparation for the holidays.

Christmas gifts for friends, family or anyone in general can be something they need, want or something they can use.

“If the person likes cooking you should gift them new pans but it depends on what the person likes.” Sophia Aclibon, a freshman at Silver Creek High School, says. You can give your loved ones something based on their hobbies and preferences. 

The first gift you can consider is a custom Funko pop from the Funko website. You can design it to look like your loved one for $30. This gift is especially suitable for people who enjoy collecting figures. 

Another gift suggested is a Stanley cup for $25-$50. A Stanley cup is a very large cup with a handle that can keep your drink hot or cold for a long period of time. It also comes in a variety of colors and designs to suit your loved one’s preferences. Stanley cups are great gifts for loved ones who prefer practical gifts. 

Smoko Tayto lamps are lights that look like a potato for $20-$30. They are perfect gifts for people who enjoy cute decorations. They also come in many different designs, such as frogs, cows and tigers. These lamps can be found at various stores such as Maido and Barnes & Nobles, or online on the Smoko website.

Books, novels or comics are also a nice gift for under $20. There are thousands of stories that your friends or family members might want to read. You can buy them a physical book, or an e-book if they prefer reading online. 

Students can buy gifts at places such as Target, Walmart, Eastridge and Great Mall. Good online places to buy Christmas gifts are Amazon and Etsy.

However, no matter what you give your family members or friends, it is special because you are the one that gave it to them.
