Student stories
It’s been quite a year for students across the world. Ahead of the festivities, we checked in with Amanda, Gabriel and Tanya to learn how they’ll be celebrating this year, who they’ll be buying for and what their ideal gifts would be.
"My ideal gift would be a donation to a charity working towards fighting climate change. I don't really need anything at the moment, but the planet does!"
“When shopping for gifts I look at the brand’s own website, and then I'll go to third parties where I know that I can get the product at a discount or a different retail price.”
“I normally ask people what they'd like and if they don't give me a straight answer, I'm just like, I'm gonna fill this with chocolate because everybody likes chocolate, right?”
