As the season of giving approaches, picking thoughtful gifts for loved ones becomes a prominent to-do on everyone’s agenda. The Achona staff established a list of presents anyone would love to help inspire last-minute gift-givers! 

Asha Judd: Ugg Slippers

“One thing on my Christmas list is Ugg Slippers. My sister has these, and I always steal them from her because they are so comfy and you can just slip them on whenever. So, I decided to ask for my own pair.”

Maddie Hines: Converse 

“I want these for Christmas because they give me an inch or 2 and will be nice shoes to wear around on college campus bc they’re comfy”

Brooke Fechtel: BaubleBar Phone Case 

“I really want this case because I really need a new one. I think it’s so unique and would go really well with my purple phone.”

Olivia Book: ALO Bag

“I think this bag is so cute, one of my best friends has this bag and uses it all the time. I love it because it can be washed easily and it’s big enough to hold all of my things.” 

Smith Cassidy: Rhode Skin Care

“I would love to get this for Christmas because I think it is just so beautiful and practical. I am really excited about trying the new products to see if they are worth the hype they are getting.”

Sophie Odmark:  Billie Eilish perfume

“I am asking for the Billie Eilish perfume because it has an amazing and warm smell. It has a very vanilla scent, which is perfect for winter time.”

Kinsley Warbritton: Longchamp Bag-LE PLIAGE ORIGINAL

“I want this bag because I think I would use it every weekend as my overnight bag. My other friends have this bag and it’s super cute. It comes in a ton of different colors so anyone would love this!”

Winsome Storm: Hogwarts legacy pre order 

“I would like to get confirmation of a preorder for Hogwarts Legacy because my 11 year old self has been dreaming of an open world Hogwarts game, and I can’t wait to explore. Here’s to hoping the passage behind the old witch statue and the Chamber of Secrets are accessible.”

“This is on my Christmas list because it is from one of my favorite bands and I think it’s something I will get a lot of use out of!”

Genevieve Chiellini: Stanley Cup
