Student Side

School has just robbed me of my life. Teachers love to give assignments on the last week before vacation. But now I’m back.

If you’re like me, your last week before vacation has been a frenzy, and you’ve gotten nothing done in terms of holiday preparations. Here’s some last-minute, fast, cheap ideas.

1. It’s not too late to get a free Christmas tree from craigslist.
2. Can’t fit a big Christmas tree? How About Orange has put together a list of origami trees as well as stars. (A little tip from me: use bright colored string to wrap around it as lights, and draw in little ornaments before you fold.)
3. More Christmas trees?
4. Origami Christmas items. Great for card making.
5. Some decorations from Design*Sponge to brighten your home.
6. Beautiful gift tags.
7. Two fast ornaments from How About Orange (again).
8. Some beautiful fabric ornaments to decorate your tree.
9. Paper ornaments here and here and over there.
10. Get cheap gifts from woot. One day only!
11. Cool things for less than $10 at Fresh Fodder. Great for gift ideas.
12. Even better gift ideas? Gifts.com.
13. Pocket calendar for the new year.
14. Creative ways to wrap things.
15. Cereal gift boxes at Curbly.
16. Finally, some food!
17. Tip: Don’t forget to take pictures! There won’t be another 2007.

I realized there are so many Christmas things that I can’t link them all. Share yours in the comments!
P.S. After New Year, Student Side may be moved to a new server, with a different domain, and a different name. The content will still stay pretty much the same. (You’ll know why soon :)
