The Perfect Christmas Girlfriend Gift Guide For 2015

Christmas is drawing near, and with that, the possibility that you will find yourself trapped in the hell of wandering aimlessly around an overcrowded mall hoping that the perfect gift will jump out at you increases. In the extremely rare case that it does, you then have to deal with the soul-crushing reality that as much as you love the special ladies in your life, you would have to sell your firstborn child to afford the gift they deserve. Online gift guides aren't as helpful as they promise. For example, some items on Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop Gift Guide 2015* are more expensive than college tuition, like a $90,000 balloon trip to the edge of the atmosphere. Since we all can't buy our loved ones trips to space, here are a few creative gift ideas for the girls in your life that won't make you and your wallet cry.

*Click on this list if you want to laugh at the absurdity of $995 cashmere sweaters and $3,000 suitcases.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.
