5 Holiday Gift Ideas For Your Significant Other

Not only do you have pressure to get the perfect gift, but you also want to show your partner how much you appreciate and care about them.

The Five Senses

What do you do when you're dating someone who has lots of interests? Or, when your budget is small but you want to give your partner a variety of things? Get them five different gifts, each gift relating to one of the five senses.

Everyone knows what kind of smells they like, what kind of fabrics they find cozy, and what type of music they want to hear. By getting your partner five small presents that appeal to each sense, you are able to explore a wide variety of gifts, and make sure to get something you know they will love. Some examples are:

Touch: a fuzzy blanket or soft flannel

Taste: hot chocolate, a home cooked meal, or a gift card to their favorite restaurant

Smell: a candle or incense

Sight: a painting, makeup, or a book

Sound: a CD or concert tickets

A Scrapbook

If the two of you have been together for a while, you've probably stocked up a lot of pictures of the two of you. Turning these memories into a scrapbook will be a sweet, sentimental gift for your significant other.

If you think making a scrapbook of the two of you is cheesy, make one with special events from their life. Do they play sports? Are they in theatre? Get some pictures from their time doing something they love and compile them in one place, so they have something to look at when they're feeling nostalgic.

A Succulent

Whether your significant other is a plant lover or not, it is always nice to have some greenery in the house. Succulents are extremely easy to take care of and require little maintenance. And, any time your partner sees it, they will be sure to think of you.

A Spa Day

Everyone can use a day to unwind. Gather a basket and stick in some face masks, a bath bomb, some chocolate, and other goodies to share with your partner. The best part about this gift is that you can do these activities together.

Spend quality time together by doing a face mask while watching your favorite movie in bed, or drink some wine in the tub while a bath bomb fizzles around you.

A Mini Vacation

Find somewhere you haven't been to before and spend the day together. This place doesn't have to be far; you could drive for an hour or stay in your hometown, just let the adventure lead you there.

Find nice, local coffee shops or small business and spend time wandering around, or go on a hike and take a break from civilization for a day. Either way, focus on each other and creating memories together.

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.

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.
