Having trouble thinking of what to get your folks, boyfriend/girlfriend, grandparents, friends, or siblings? Check out this list to hopefully get an idea for a gift!

1. Socks

Everyone needs socks. Some are dirty, others are full of holes. 'tis the season for fuzzy and holiday themed socks!

2. Small knick-knacks

Small plaques, trinkets from vacations, snow globes and other small items are perfect to decorate a shelf in someone’s home.

3. Flannels

Flannels are definitely in! Dress them up or down. The variety of colors and styles provide endless opportunities for every individual’s taste and style.

4. Sweaters

Similar to flannels, big sweaters are abundant during this time of year. With the multitude of sizes, designs and colors, everyone can find the perfect sweater to lounge around the house in or wear out to holiday gathering.

5. Leggings

Do you ever see a female without leggings on anymore? The answer is no. Just about every store sells leggings. Find out if that special

6. Fragrance

Perfume for the ladies and cologne for the men can make for a little stocking stuffer.

7. Candles

Holiday scents such as Christmas Wreath, Christmas Eve, Sparkling Snow and Christmas Cookie line the shelves of Yankee Candle, or, if you’re already sick of the snow and cold, Summer Scoop, Summer Wish, Honey Blossom and Campfire Treat can please the summer lover in your life.

8. Coffee mugs/tumblers

For the everyday coffee drinker, you can never go wrong with a new mug. Tumblers are perfect for taking any drink on the go in a stylish and trendy cup.

9. Tools

A multi-purpose Swiss army knife could do the trick, but you could also get dad-specific and choose a certain tool to be engraved.

10. Picture frames

Pictures from family vacations, school dances and unforgettable nights in personalized and hand-picked frames make for a heartfelt gift. If you’re feeling crafty, collages are fun and can turn out nice with added decorations.

11. Hats/beanies

Having a bad hair day? Too lazy to style your hair? Hats and beanies solve this problem in under a minute. They are an essential article of clothing for the lazy yet fashionable individual.

12. Ties

Does your special man like dressing up? A man can never have too many ties, especially with all the funky designs and colors of Jerry Garcia ties.

13. Alex & Ani bracelets

Alex & Ani bracelets are fashionable and meaningful. Wear one or wear them all. The different charms will allow anyone to express themselves.

14. School/office supplies

These are a perfect gift for the office worker or student. Of course nobody would absolutely desire or ask for pencils, pens, paper, binders, etc., but they are always needed and appreciated.

15. University apparel

Is there a new college student in the family? They’d love to represent their school with hats, sweatpants, hoodies, t-shirts, etc. Support their college choice and bare the university name across a t-shirt of your own.

16. Concert tickets

Concerts are an experience everyone should have at least once, and the avid concert-goer in your family will certainly love an addition to their collection of tickets.

17. Gift cards/cash

When all else fails, let them choose what they want. Pick their favorite store, choose a cute gift card and load that baby up.

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.
