The holiday season is approaching and just like that, you need to find stocking stuffers and Secret Santa gifts for your closest friends and also almost complete strangers. Here are a few easy cheats that you can use to bring out smiles from whoever you're handing off the gift wrap to.

1. Slippers

Holiday slippers? Regular slippers? Funny slippers? Any pair will do to keep their feet warm against the attack of cold hardwood floors in winter.

2. A journal

If they're into drawing, make it a sketch pad. If they write lots of lists then a bullet book is perfect!

3. Pens

There are some people who have a favorite pen. If that's the case find out, you'll be surprised how much joy writing utensils can bring.

4. Headphones

Now, I'm not talking about Beats by Dre here. For a stocking stuffer, you can simply grab a pair of earbuds out of the checkout line so they have an extra pair to keep in their coat or purse or bookbag.

5. Music gift cards

Do they prefer iTunes? Spotify? Pandora Plus? Slip a gift card in their stocking and let them listen to you for a month or two.

6. A framed photo

If the person you're buying for is close to you, or if they're not that close to you but you have a photo with them, pop it into a frame for a little sentimentality.

7. Candy

Like Halloween part two! Load up their stocking with all of their favorite snacks.

8. Playing cards

A great small gift to slip in and an endless list of possible games coming with it.

9. A Nerf gun

Let out your childish side and remind everyone about how the holidays felt as a kid.

10. Socks

As a kid, these were not exciting but now as an adult? Amazing.

11. Their favorite CD

Sometimes people forget about the good old fashion joy of listening to an album all the way through in the car, get them the album they've been begging you to listen to.

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.
