Shopping for gifts last minute can be a stressful time for everyone, especially when you have no clue what to get. Well, here are some helpful gift ideas to put on your parents, siblings, friend, or even significant other.

Amazon Prime has some great gifts that will be shipped to your house in two days, so if you're cutting it close to the big day you can get anything from a bath gift basket for your best friend to a plasma tv for your father.

Target and Walmart always seem like somewhere to avoid during the holidays however, a few small things can make a great gift bag/set. Bath bombs, face masks, and nail polish are all under $7 and putting them in a cute basket, which you can also find in either of the stores with a cute bow, can be a thoughtful cheap gift.

A gift to a boyfriend or brother can be found easily. A shaving kit with a yummy smelling scent is something that most boys would appreciate, and don't usually take the time to get. However, if you're looking for something more fun try going to GameStop and getting a new, or used, video game which is usually $30 max.

Kids are usually the easiest to shop for but, it's hard to get them something that they don't already have. Bathroom crayons, which are even fun for adults, are bound to keep children of any age entertained. There is also the Water Wow Coloring Books which are no mess coloring books that kids can reuse, coloring with water. Both of these presents are on Amazon and at most big retail stores.

Lastly, if money is an issue there are always easy, meaningful gifts to give like the Love Jar. The Love Jar is any type of jar or bottle around filled up with as many types of reasons or compliments you can about the person you love. I have given this to my mother in the past and she is still pulling out reasons why I love her and to this day says it is her favorite gift she has been given.

Giving presents and the Holiday season should not be a stressful time for you, so use these (hopefully) helpful present ideas to ease up on the pressure and bring a little more joy into the season.

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.
