Christmas is right around the corner, so this makes shopping one of the most stressful times of the year. You need to spend a lot of money, think of meaningful gift ideas, and did I mention spend a lot of money? To make this year's shopping a little less stressful, here’s some perfect last-minute gift ideas for everyone you still need to shop for.

 

Moms:

 

Candles: Moms always love a nice-smelling home.

Home décor: Because moms always love a good picture frame, wall hanging, or accessory. 

Personalized Jewelry: Moms are suckers for jewelry with their kid’s names engraved on it.

Sweater: Because, let’s be real, all moms wear sweaters.

 

Dads:

 

Tools: Dads always seem to be building something. 

Beer Stein: Almost every dad drinks beer, so why not a cool cup to drink it out of?

Cologne: Dads may not admit this, but they actually do care what they smell like.

Socks: Does this really need an explanation?

 

Brothers:

 

Video games: Literally every boy has some type of gaming system.

College/sports clothing: Sports teams seem to be quite a big deal to boys, so give them something to wear while they cheer on their team.

Favorite alcohol: Obviously only if they’re of age!

Money/gift card: Brothers can be extremely difficult to shop for, so let them shop for themselves.

 

Sisters:

 

Scarf: ‘Tis the season for warmer clothes.

Mini care package: Receiving a basket full of candy, socks, nail polish, or any other mini items is one of the best things you can get. Girls love these goodies!

Lotion set: While all girls seem like they have enough lotion for the world, they can never have too much.

Crafting supplies: Putting together some cute creations can be so much fun.

 

Significant Other:

Clothes: I think this is a universal item for boyfriends and girlfriends.

52 reasons: Buy a deck of cards and write a reason why you love them on each one!

Picture frame: Boyfriends/girlfriends are suckers for cute couple pictures they can cherish forever.

Customized gift: Almost any customizable item is great. It shows you put in some thought and effort when buying this gift.

 

Best Girl Friend:

 

Movie night pack: Includes popcorn, favorite movies, candy, sodas, and other snacks!

Cork board of pictures: Lots of girls loving looking at pictures that captured their best moments with their best friend.

Friendship jewelry: As dorky as this may sound, best friends still appreciate matching necklaces.

Quote signs: Maybe it’s just me, but girls go crazy for inspirational quote signs.

Best Guy Friend:

Tickets to a sporting event: Buy tickets to their favorite sport so the two of you can go together!

Car accessory: Cars seem to be a big deal to many guys—purchase something that'll make their car seem even more impressive.

Hat: Baseball caps, snapbacks, or beanies!

Food: No guy will ever be upset with receiving their favorite food.

 

Hope this helps all you last-minute shoppers!

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.
