The season of giving has rolled around and everyone has started planning what to gift their loved ones for Christmas, but it’s also the season of getting. Making a wish-list that you can send to all of your loved ones eases the process not only for you, but for them. It’s exhausting trying to pick a gift for someone and overthink whether it’s enough, or whether they’ll actually enjoy it. Here are the three necessities to curating the perfect Christmas wish-list to send to your friends and family:

  1. Be accessible: The first step is making a list that is easy to reach and look through. The days of sifting through magazines and circling what toys you want are over. I advise using Canva, PowerPoint or a word document so you can add links to all of the items on your list and share it easily. Save your loved ones from having to scour the internet and stores for the gifts you wish to receive, and simply show them where they can find it.
  2. Be organized: Always have a system for organizing your list. Either categorize them by price, type or store. This makes the list not only easier to read, but easier for most people to identify what to get you. They’ll know to look within their price range and can follow their general idea of what they planned to get you.
  3. Be diverse: Adding a good range of gifts takes the pressure off of everyone getting you something. Asking for a series of items that go from big and small to inexpensive to pricy is far better than asking for only a few expensive items that are not generally affordable.

Hopefully this guide helps you have the most stress-free Christmas yet. However, the most important thing to keep in mind is that although getting gifts is certainly fun, it’s not everything. Base your happiness on being surrounded by your loved ones for the holiday season, not on receiving things.

About the Contributor
Jadyn Grayes
Jadyn Grayes, A&E and Multimedia Editor

Jadyn Grayes is a senior at Robinson and the A&E and Multimedia Editor of Knight Writers. This is her third year on staff and her second year as an editor.

This year, Grayes decided to continue journalism because she enjoys the experience, her classmates and the environment.

“I chose journalism, because, well, one, I'm an editor and two, I really liked the environment and the group of people that I've come to know in my years in journalism,” Grayes said. 

In an ideal world, she would be an immigration attorney, after witnessing her mother's experiences as an immigrant. 

“Yeah, career-wise, I would be an immigration attorney because my mom is an immigrant. When I was little, hearing about her experience, like coming to America, made me want to help people going through the same thing. And growing up finding out that there was a career that enabled me to do that. It just kind of like set a fire in my heart," Grayes said. 

Outside reporting for Knight Writers, Grayes is also on the cheerleading team. She tutors younger children in her spare time.

"Because kids who have been through a lot of stuff, big time, they kind of have like a wall that you have to get through. So, it also helps me learn to like to put myself in other people's shoes, especially when you're teaching and it gave me a lot of respect for teachers because I never realized how tough it could be getting through to kids," Grayes said. 

If there was one thing she could teach the world, it would be to treat each other with respect and kindness.

“Honestly, you just never know what people are going through. Like I would say I'm pretty emotionally intelligent. But I never realized that people tend to hide so much so well. So I think just having empathy for everyone, no matter how they treat you, is one of the biggest things I'd have to face," Grayes said.
