Sometimes during the holidays we struggle on what to get people as a gift.

We get frustrated because the holidays are fast approaching and we still haven't finished shopping. Here are a few ideas when you're really stuck on getting a gift for someone.

1. Candles

Yes, these can be slightly basic and unoriginal as gifts, but for moms, aunts or grandmas, this will certainly make them happy. Who doesn't like candles?

2. Grocery gift certificate

If you have a college student in your life that you're gift shopping for, they will certainly appreciate this.

3. Coffee mug or thermos

For anyone who likes hot drinks, this is a great idea. They can use this everyday and will think of you when they do.

4. Jewelry

A cute necklace or bracelet is a great idea for a friend or family member.

5. Slippers

This is a great idea and you could even do a cute little combination gift with slippers, nail polish and nails files. This is guaranteed to be good for someone who likes to pamper themselves.

6. S'well Water Bottle

These are pretty popular right now and also super cute. This is great for someone who wants to stay in trend

7. Virtual reality headsets

These are really popping up everywhere right now and are also really cool. Depending on where you buy it, the price really ranges. Guaranteed to give anyone a good laugh.

8. Bath bombs

Anyone who enjoys baths will enjoy it a lot more with a nice bath bomb. Not only are they super unique looking when dropped in water, but they also leave your skin feeling extra soft.

9. Winter hat or baseball bat

No matter who you're shopping for, this is a great go to idea. People will definitely use and appreciate this gift.

10. Pajama set

Whether it be a set or even just pajama bottoms, someone will be wearing them and really admire them.

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.

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.
