Christmas is coming! Sometimes the budget can be a little tight around Christmas when it comes to gift giving. So, here are some gift ideas to save some time and money!

1. Open when letters

I actually made these for my fiance and he really enjoyed them. I wrote four different letters including "Open when you're sad" "Open when you miss me" etc. Along with the letters I put little surprises in them as well, his favorite picture of us and his favorite candy.

2. Picture frames

One year I found an old picture of my mom and I and personalized and decorated the frame and it turned out really amazing.

3. Movie tickets

While this one isn't exactly DIY if you or someone you know is a movie connoisseur- like myself- then getting them tickets to a movie that they really want to see can be a really exciting gift.

4. Homemade bath salts

Bath salts are actually really easy to make and you can use natural ingredients that are already in your home.

5. Home made blanket

This one is a lot of fun, while it requires you to know how to sew, you could make some one something really heart felt for Christmas.

6. Christmas ornaments

My mom loves decorating the Chritmas tree and so do I. Making home made ornaments is something you and your loved ones will remember for years to come.

7. Cookies

Come on who doesnt love cookies?

8. Hot Cocoa Kit

This is another easy DIY. All you have to do is place the ingredients in a jar and decorate it!

9. Home made candles

This is a really fun one. You made need to purchase the materials needed to actually make the candles but they are inexpencive and fun to make!

10. Give the gift of your presence

The holidays can get pretty hectic and so make sure you make time to spend time with the people you love this Christmas.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
