10 Gift Ideas For Your Significant Other For Christmas

With Christmas just a few more weeks away, you could still be looking for gifts to get your significant other. This can sometimes be really hard, even if you have been dating for a while. Here is a list of things you can get your boyfriend or girlfriend for Christmas this year.

1. Perfume/Cologne

Let’s be honest you always want a good smelling boyfriend or girlfriend, and they should want to smell good too. I am not saying you need to go and spend $100 on a perfume or cologne some of the less expensive ones are just a nice.



2. Video Games

I don’t play much video games, I still have the first generation of the Wii LOL. But it seems that guys always have the newest video game consoles and gadgets. Around this time of year a lot of new games come out and you can never go wrong with video games.



3. Clothes

I love clothes and I know that sometimes guys literally hate shopping. So why not do the shopping for him and get him some snazzy clothes. On the flip side girls love shopping but might now want to spend their money on clothes, so getting her clothes is always a good idea. You know that she will wear them



4. Makeup

Chances are you won’t be getting this for your boyfriend, but a boyfriend can get it for his girlfriend. Guys sometimes don’t understand how expensive good make up is until they ask or go buy it themselves. I love make up, so you give me make up and I am a happy girl. If your girl loves makeup this is defiantly a good idea.




5. Concert/Game Tickets

If an artist you love is coming to town, or your sports team is going to be playing against a team you want to see or they just have a home game, tickets are defiantly a good gift idea, maybe even splurge a little bit and get super good seats. You can go together or get tickets for them to go with their friends.



6. DIY Gifts

A really good DIY gift is Open When Letters. You can write one for any event or feeling. I have made them and received them and they are so cute, romantic and thoughtful. You can always do a coupon book things like “dinner on me” or “on free back rub” things like that can always be really cute.

7. Gift Cards

Now this one is not my favorite gift to get someone because I feel like it has no thought put in it, but rather a last minute thing. However sometimes it’s very nice. Maybe it’s one for your boyfriend to a sports store because you are not sure what he already has, or for Victoria’s Secret for your girlfriend because that store makes you feel awaked to shop in and you have NO IDEA what kind of lingerie she likes.



8. Jewelry/Watch

Guy or girl jewelry or watches are always a great gift. I love jewelry, and when I don’t wear it I feel naked LOL. You can get your loved on some type on jewelry she or he was been wanting or maybe a piece of jewelry that means something to the both of you. I also LOVE those couple rings or necklaces you can get, that’s a primo gift right there



9. Flowers or Chocolate

You might think that is it too “Valentine’s Day-ish” but it’s always a great time for flowers and chocolate, flowers might not be so much for the guys but for girls let me just say…we always enjoy getting flowers. Chocolate is good for either one I think, and who doesn’t like chocolate?




10. Tech Items

Maybe your boyfriend or girlfriend wants some beats headphones or a speaker, maybe a phone case or a tablet. While these things can be a bit more on the expensive side, they still make awesome gifts and if you buy them at the right time that could be on sale and you could get a good deal.

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.
