Many have a tradition of making a wish list to send to their family and friends.

Gift-giving is heavy on everyone’s mind as the holiday season approaches with ideas coming and going. Finding the perfect gift can be stressful as the list of people you need to shop for grows and grows. To give some inspiration and help take some of the stress off, The Pitch has created a gift guide that consists of a range of gifts, with varying prices, that will never fail. 

Gifts for Friends: Whether it be an individual gift, or a random one picked out of a White Elephant or Secret Santa, it’s always hard to find the perfect gift for someone. However, the list below contains options that would please anyone or can even be catered to the specific friend you’re shopping for.

  • Sephora Holiday Kit
    • (JBL, Wonderboom, etc.)
  • Clothing Staples/Basics (Aritzia, Abercrombie and Fitch, etc.).0
  • Portable Chargers

Gifts for Dads: One of the hardest people to shop for has always been and will probably always be your dad. Even though it’s quite a challenge, it’s important that you still get him a good gift to show your appreciation.

  • Polo shirt with preferred NFL or college team
  • New golfing pants (Lululemon, Dicks, etc.)
  • Hat
  • Sunglasses

Beyond your friends and family, it’s important to show your appreciation for your significant other through a good holiday gift. Although these gifts tend to be a little easier to pick than others, we still have some ideas in case you’re a little lost.
