Buying Christmas gifts for my best friend for the past five years has definitely gotten a bit difficult. You'd think the longer you know someone the easier it is to shop for them, but in fact the longer I know someone, the more I critique every potential present. Nothing seems good enough or worthy to give. I am personally one to give gifts that not only meet their interests but that mean something and show I know who they are as a person. It can be hard to find items that are both sentimental and still something the gift receiver would really enjoy.

It's bound to be hard when you feel like you've already given your friends everything they would like during past holidays and birthdays. Here are ten convenient gift ideas that are easy for one to enjoy all while still having some meaningful value behind it all.

1. Fuzzy Blankets

These are extremely easy to use as room decor as well as a snuggle buddy when throwing on some movies.

2. Picture Frames

They are often sentimental and can be kept forever plus they are easy to decorate with.

3. Favorite Snacks and Drinks

It's quite simple and can really showcase how much you know about someone.

4. Gift cards

It may seem like you didn't put much thought into this kind of gift, but you are allowing the receiver to get exactly what they want and you're still having to know them enough to pick a place they would enjoy.

5. Candles

These can liven up any room and you're going to need to think of scents they would actually buy themselves.

6. Shoes

To buy one shoes, you would need to know their personality and focus on how they dress and what is worn the most.

7. Canvas Art

Who doesn't love to decorate with some art? You can surprise someone too with picking the perfect piece that matches who they are.

8. Mugs

They are so cute and easy to buy and you can personalize them to who you are getting them for.

9. Sweatshirts

This one is simple, who doesn't love sweatshirts to snuggle up in?

10. Sports/Concert Tickets

When COVID-19 is settled down, these are one of the best gifts to buy because you really need to know someone to pick what event they'd want to attend.

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.

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.
