The holiday season is a time of giving and enjoying the company of others, and one of the best ways to show your appreciation is through gift-giving. 

Before students, faculty and staff head home for some well-deserved rest after a busy semester, many are hitting up the Northeastern bookstore, university’s Amazon store, Dick’s House of Sport in the Prudential Center and various other spots.
