How many people do you have to shop for this holiday season? It can be tricky to find a meaningful gift to give to someone who seemingly has everything, but there are ways to get around this holly jolly debacle. Here are 10 ideas you can use to make last minute gift gifting a breeze.

1. Pet Treats

Does the gift receiver own a pet pup? If so, there are many recipes available for peanut butter and pepperoni flavored homemade dog treats! And for the kitty lovers, there are recipes for them, too. This is great whether you're a good cook or not!

2. Human Treats

Besides all the goodies at Christmas dinner, anyone would enjoy taking home their personal stash of chocolate chip/snickerdoodle cookies, oreo ball truffles, or candy cane lollipops!

3. Ring Cones

To place on your dresser, nightstand, bathroom sink, or wherever you put your jewelry away. It's artistic, practical, and relatively inexpensive! If you're feeling it, you can spring for stacking rings to add to the package.

4. Boxer Shorts

For men or ladies, we all like to slip into loose, soft shorts every now and then! Find wild patterns and designs to add personality to your odd yet comfortable gift.

5. Slippers/Booties

Because cold feet is not cool. That being said, don't overlook the sock aisle either!

6. Insulated Traveler Coffee Mug


Because life is on the go! And we need our caffeine fixes, don't we? This is something that goes overlooked for its simplicity, but it is totally necessary for anyone from the college student to the working man! They can get expressive too, complete with words, colors or patterns!

7. A Memory Pillow

For Christmas I'll be sewing my grandpa a memory pillow. It's made from two of my grandma's old sweaters and two pillow inserts. I know it'll make him smile to see my grandma's sweaters be repurposed.

8. Bluetooth speaker

Jeff and I love his Oontz speaker. It not only produces loud music, but it's also great quality.

9. A bowl

Because your family may or may not smoke weed #ChristmasTree #Litmas

10. Personalized Stuffed Stocking

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
