TRASH MAG’s 2022 Holiday Gift Guide — Part 1

The One Who Is…  Stuck in 2014 Tumblr

Ah, Tumblr. A place we thought we had left in the past, and yet this year, it’s coming back in style (just hopefully not the toxic parts of it). The 1975, black tights and skater skirts, awkward haircuts, and more, are all elements we’re reminiscing on. For the friend who’s back in (or never left) their 2014 Tumblr phase, these are the gifts to get.

1. Arctic Monkeys Tickets
   Because what “emo” kid wouldn’t want these?
   

2. Daniel Howell Comedy Tour Tickets or Products
   He’s back and more cynical (yet funnier) than ever.
   

3. Twilight Shit
   Did we ever really leave Forks?
   

4. Vinyl Subscription
   To play or to use as wall decor.
   

5. Dark Lipstick Set
   A staple piece in every Tumblr person’s personality.
