The holidays are a wonderful time of year, filled with chaos, the sound of savings accounts emptying, and the occasional sobbing session. These things simply skip hand in hand with the literal joys of the season. However, the most stressful part of this time of year is without a doubt the infamous gift exchange.

We all experience the panic-stricken thought process of: "What does Brian want his year? What should I give to Aunt Susie? Grandpa Max will smother me in my sleep with a dirty pillow case if I give him another pair of Rudolph underwear". You want every gift to be perfect BUT original (and maybe slightly weird), because who wants to be boring, right? Where's the fun in that?

Here are some gift ideas that will be sure to make quite the impact this holiday season:

1. Vladamir Putin Scratching Post


Yes. It is exactly what it looks like. A scratching post made to look like a Russian dictator.

2. Potty Putter


We all know that one person who is ALWAYS in the bathroom. Give them a game to play while sitting on their porcelain throne. How incredibly thoughtful of you.

3. Portable Breathalyzer


Nothing says "I saw this and thought of you" quite like a portable breathalyzer. Holiday day drinking now made easy! Prepare the Mad Elf Ale, Grandma!

4. Personalized Face Lollipop


Now your favorite person can suck on a life-size lollipop of their own face! What a genius idea! Nothing like sucking on my own forehead to get me into the holiday festivities!

5. Six-Pack Beer Belt

It's a college kid's dream in fashionable camouflage colors, a beer fanny pack! A great way to pick up the ladies, or gents.

6. Chainmail Shoes


Who needs Jordans when you could get these bad boys fresh from the local blacksmith?

7. Face Candles


A gift of a melting human face without the legal complications!

8. Doll Head Plant Markers


Nothing like baby doll heads to make them say "Awe, I love it! This is just what I asked for!"

9. Rhino/Zebra Hoof Boots


For a small investment of $625.70, you could make someones whole year with this staple wardrobe piece.

10. Condom Corsage


Great for any formal event! Be the life of a party AND a lifesaver if someone forgets protection!

Pick and choose your favorite, you can't possibly go wrong.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
