Christmas 2021 is bound to be a great one after a year of not being able to see friends and family. While the holidays are all about family and religion for most people, buying and receiving gifts and making wish-lists are another key aspect that completes the season for many people. 

Junior Emma Smith agrees.

“I always get very excited to start deciding what I want for Christmas, but sometimes I struggle trying to figure out what exactly I want,” Emma said.

The following is a list of some of the most popular gifts for your friends, sisters or peers in the 2021 Holiday Season:

  1. Philips Hue Bluetooth Smart Lightstrip Plus 1-m. Extension With Plug
