You can find these at local superstores like Target or Walmart where they range from $3 to $30.

Quarter Zips –
Quarter zips make the perfect gift for anyone, pricing from $15 to $130. They’re so comfortable and can be styled in several ways.

Digital Camera –
During the summer, digital cameras became super popular! Whether you use it to take on vacation or just to take cute photos, they are perfect for anyone who wants aesthetically pleasing pics! They are available on Amazon for around $20.
Energy Drinks –
Energy Drinks like Alani Nu, Monster, and Red Bull are popular at CHS. With the sudden upsurge of color cans and cute logos, students have been wanting more and more. They are especially popular when going to the gym or working out to get that boost of energy. After all, just waking up early in the morning, in general, students and teachers need a boost! These drinks are widely available anywhere – really – like vending machines and restaurants. They are affordable if you get a single one, but they are also available in boxed cases.
Concert Tickets –
While this would be one gift on the more expensive side, it would be a gift to remember: concert tickets! Tickets typically range from $100-$3,000. If you know your friend or family member’s favorite artist is going on tour near you, consider giving them a concert ticket and enjoy the music together! From Megan Moroney, Tate McRae, Smashing Pumpkins, or J. Cole, there are so many artists to go see!
At Home Gym –
A different approach when it comes to gift-giving would be an at-home gym – or helping to build one! These would normally range from $75-$2,000. Whether you have a gym membership or not, working out at home has become a popular trend! Even small things like weights or dumbbells would make getting in exercise at home easy and fun. You can also purchase items like a bench, cable machine, treadmill, stationary bike, or yoga mats to help encourage fitness!

You can buy simple products at drug stores or high-end products at stores like Sephora or Ulta, ranging from $3 to $300.
