12 Gift Ideas For Dads
Crafty Morning

It's that time of year where all of us are looking for the perfect gifts for friends and family, but especially for our parents. And mostly for your dad. Mom is always pretty simple --some perfume or a cute homemade gift. But what about dad? If you're struggling to find the perfect gift for your dad this holiday season, here are 12 ideas that might work great for you.

1. Pocket knife

Now, maybe this isn't for all dads, but I know that my dad almost always has his pocket knife on him. And he also seems to go through a lot of them because he tends to misplace it or get it taken away at the airport. A pocket knife is something practical that he always seems to need!

2. Wallet

Wallets are also something that all dads seem to always be carrying with them. If your dad's wallet is starting to get old and broken, this is a great gift for him this holiday season!

3. Golf balls and tees

If your dad is a golfer, this is a great gift for him! Golf balls and tees are gone through pretty quickly, so this would definitely be a much-appreciated gift.

4. Puzzles

My dad absolutely LOVES puzzles. Whenever we go somewhere, that is one souvenir we always seem to get. Not only are you giving him something to do that he would enjoy, but you can also spend some quality time with your dad and complete the puzzle with him! Any dad would love that.

5. Tools

If your dad is the handy man, you can't go wrong with tools. More nails, extra screws, a new hammer, and maybe a tape measure? Practical, useful, and a great gift for any dad, especially if your mom is asking for house renovations for Christmas!

6. Movies

Another thing that many dads love is movies. There are so many new movies coming out every year, you are bound to find one that your dad hasn't seen yet that would probably interest him. And, one more perk about a movie? You can pick one out that you would enjoy too, and spend some quality time with your dad watching the movie and eating popcorn!

7. A picture frame

If you're daddy's little girl then what better gift than a picture frame decorated by you with a picture of you two together? Even if you're a guy, a cool frame with a picture of the family is something that your dad could put up in his office or have on his night stand that I'm sure he would absolutely love.

8. A tie or dress shirt

If your dad is a businessman or has reason to frequently dress up, you can't go wrong with this gift. Odds are your dad probably won't go out and buy these things for himself, so a new shirt and tie is always a great gift!

9. Nice gloves and hat

If you live somewhere where the weather gets pretty cold in the winter, gloves and a hat are always a practical gift for anybody. A nice pair of gloves and a warm hat for your dad can help keep him toasty while he is out shoveling the snow during the winter season!

10. Food or candy

Salsa, beef jerky, nuts, or candy. You really can't go wrong with food for your dad! Pick out some of his favorites and put them together in a package for a yummy gift!

11. Portable phone charger

My dad spends quite a bit of time on his phone, whether it be for work or spending time on social media. A portable phone charger is a super practical gift for dads who are on the go and need to have their phone on them, especially to communicate with their kids!

12. Anything homemade

Whatever you get your dad, he is guaranteed to love, especially if it comes from you. That's one great thing about parents; you could get them almost anything and they will always appreciate it, especially if it comes from your heart. Happy gift shopping!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
