This holiday season, Achona has already prepped a full Christmas list full of goodies! As journalists, Achona’s staff hopes to share with its viewers what is popular to buy for friends, Secret Santas, and family exchanges.
Here is Achona’s Christmas list 2025
Adriana Trapuzzano (’26) – Hatch alarm clock
“I listen to white noise every night on my phone, and I feel like I should step it up. I also really like the lighting that it has and being able to customize your wake-up sound.”
Rosemary Garon (’26)- Clothes
“I want a bunch of clothes because I’m trying to prepare for college, so I can be ready to just go. I really love the workout sets from Abercrombie.”
Addyson Moad (’26)- Cowboy boots
“I want cowboy boots because I’m going to a SEC school, so I’m going to wear them more often.”
Ali Ibanez (’26)- Crown Affair hair towel
“It uses a special material that doesn’t damage your hair when you dry it.”
Stella Alvarez (’26)- Gucci Bezel watch
“I’ve been wanting a bezel watch for some time now, and after seeing a family friend wear it, I knew I had to have it. I’ve also been wearing my Tory Burch watch and Seiko watch, so I feel like I need an actual watch purely for aesthetic.”
Mattie Floyd (’27) – Phlur vanilla skin
“I smelled it when I was shopping, and it smelled so good. It’s something that you can use every day, it smells good every day, and it’s an easy find.”
Camille King (’27) – A fluffy blanket
“Because I redecorated my room and I need a matching accessory for my bed.”
Gigi Luka (’27)- 3D printer
“If I get a 3-D printer, then I can make anything I want. If I get a 3-D printer, then I can just print all my presents.”
Ava Radovic (’26)- tickets to the Rockettes
“I love the tradition of dancing, and the Rockettes are a cultural phenomenon and just so happen to be in the best city in the world.”
Maggie McHugh (’28) – Vinyls (“Reputation” and “Life of a Showgirl”)
“I want to collect Taylor Swift’s whole vinyl collection, so I hope I get them.”
Valeria Taguja-Catano (’28) – kodak pixpro fz55-rd
“I want to be more present in the moment, and I hope to have cute pictures too.”
Madison Pfeuffer (’26) – Bio Ionic 49 curling iron 1.25 in
“It’s apparently it’s a really good brand, and a bunch of hair salons use it, and it’s supposed to be healthier for your hair.”
Annabelle Bennett (’26)- Tom Ford Soleil Neige
“I love having a signature scent that no one uses, and I like using a scent that no one has.”
