As the holiday season approaches, most of us are creating wish lists with the latest trending items. From the newest fashion garment to cute stuffed animals, people have their sights set on all kinds of presents. This year, we’re seeing a few items that have been topping everyone’s lists for Santa. However, it’s not just items that people want – here at The Lance, we gathered a comprehensive list of the most trending “wants” of 2024.
THE 23RD OFF: With Christmas only being two days after the 23rd, we believe that it is fair for everyone to take that day off. Not only is it two days before Christmas, NVOT is the only school in Bergen County to continue with school that day. Since it’s a half day on Monday, what’s the point of even having school when classes are only 30 minutes long?
UGGS: Seeking both comfort and style, Uggs are a perfect gift to buy for Christmas! Because winters are brutally cold, Uggs keep our feet toasty warm thanks to the soft and furry interior of the boot. Uggs are also long-lasting, allowing a loved one to enjoy them for years to come. Uggs were a major trend in the 2000s, and they’ve made a powerful comeback ever since, with teenagers now eagerly asking their parents for a pair this holiday season. With Uggs making a big comeback, they have been on everyone’s Christmas wishlist.
JELLYCATS: These viral plushies come in the form of various creatures and items. From adorable toilet paper rolls to angry turtles, it’s no surprise that Jellycat’s quirky characters have been at the top of everyone’s wish lists. The most popular Jellycats of this year are the Peanut, Bunny, Eggplant, and Bartholomew the bear. But beware – these stuffed toys may be cute, but their prices aren’t. If you’re looking to avoid dropping 50 dollars on a small bear plushie, some of the other items on this list may be a more appealing option.
AIRPODS: The classic Christmas gift on everyone’s wish list is, of course, AirPods. Every year, Apple seems to come out with new AirPods, and it always ends up on everyone’s Christmas list. AirPods provide entertainment, comfort, and privacy. You can listen to music or watch TV without people being able to snoop in on what you are listening to. Using wired headphones can be a pain, and lugging around huge headphones is impractical. It’s no wonder that AirPods remain a timeless gift as they provide many useful functions, making them a must-have item for this holiday season.
ABERCROMBIE HOODIES: These hoodies are known to “hoodie.” If you’re wondering what that means, just look at their carefully curated design. From the drop shoulder to its big hood, this hoodie has become a viral favorite among teenagers. In addition to its comfortable and simple structure, the unique and trendy prints (e.g. washed black, light camo) have made this product a fashion sensation this year. Though their prices may be a little costly, Abercrombie combines style with comfort, making this a top item on everybody’s list for 2024.
WATER BOTTLES: Water bottles are a great and practical holiday gift. They can encourage people to stay hydrated throughout the day, and they’re something that can be used on a daily basis. Plus, you can get water bottles personally customized to one’s liking with names, colors, and designs that can make the gift feel more special. Some of the most popular brands include Hydro Flask, Owala, Stanley, and more. Overall, getting someone a water bottle for the holidays is a thoughtful and sustainable gift that suits a variety of lifestyles.
This list mentions just a few of the many things that we’ve seen top the wish lists of this year’s holiday season. From viral hoodies to trending stuffed toys, we’ve definitely covered most of the basics for 2024’s most wanted items. Happy holidays from The Lance, and we will see you next year!
