Packing Hacks From Study Abroad

Picture this: it's December 19th, 10 am, and I woke up late after a night resembling Alison Di Laurentis' goodbye tour before her disappearance.

QFIN 2023 Holiday Gift Guide

This holiday season, QFIN’s top picks for gift-giving are centered around the idea of functionality. The best gifts are those that can be worked into seasonal or everyday use, items that will transcend trend cycles and become well-worn favorites.
