This year was a fail in the gift giving area. . . here are some thoughtful gifts to buy for next Christmas, or even New Years, perhaps birthdays!

1. A Recipe Book

A recipe book from the Hallmark store is the perfect gift for aunts, grandmas, and moms. With recipe cards to fill the sleeves that can be refilled as you go, this is a great way to compile family recipes. Put some of your favorite recipes in there!

2. Star Wars Koozie

For the Star Wars geek in your life, any paraphernalia from the movies is a great gift. Find these coasters at the Hallmark store as well!

3. Cat Sweater

For the feline, a Christmas sweater!

4. Cologne or Perfume

Have a favorite scent for the opposite gender? Buy it for someone close to you so you can smell it all the time!

5. Iphone Charger

Anyone who has an iPhone has gone through many chargers. They stop working, they have to be held in a certain position to charge, so on. You can't go wrong with gifting someone a new one!

Jenna Marbles' PopSockets

A PopSocket is an expandable grip that goes on the back of the phone that allows for better grip to prevent drops. It also works as a stand to set your phone upright on a table and you can wrap your headphones around them as well! They come in several different styles adorned with Jenna's dogs, Kermit and Marbles.

Happy shopping!

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.
