Find yourself looking to find the perfect inexpensive gift for Christmas or a secret Santa? Well, here are ten easy inexpensive present ideas.

  • A craft basket. If a person is into crafts, you can get them a basket filled with ribbon, paper, stencils, and a craft kit. This is a great inexpensive way to please someone who is crafty. They will appreciate the fact that you encourage crafting.
  • A “keep warm” basket for the winter. You can put a cheap blanket in the basket, a mug, hot chocolate, and a pair of warm fuzzy socks! I mean who doesn’t love warn fuzzy socks anyway?! This basket is a simple and easy win.
  • Something sentimental. So you might be struggling with what to get for a loved one. Well sentimental is always meaningful. You can get a picture frame, put a picture in it and write a meaningful card to go with it. You can customize jewelry, picture frames, and even blocks of wood. Depending on how much customization is needed it can be fairly inexpensive.
  • A fragrance package. These are usually inexpensive around the holidays. Stick to simple scents if you do not know the person’s preference. Something common such as Vanilla, or something mildly sweet. You want to make sure you stick with something that is mild. Let’s be honest, no one wants to receive a super strong perfume for a present. If it is too strong they’ll never wear it.
  • Food. This should be self-explanatory, but here are some ideas anyway. Chocolate, popcorn balls, peanut brittle, peppermint bark, and pretzels or chips. Food is a great idea because everyone gets hungry at some point. Even if they aren’t super hungry, most of the time people will find something to snack on. Plus, if you know a food that the person you are buying for really likes, you are all ready to go.
  • A scarf or gloves. I’ve found that throughout the years, scarves and gloves always happen to go missing. So this is a very cheap way to help someone stay warm in winter. If you keep the gift receipt and give it to them, they can always return it if they do not like it.
  • Jewelry or a watch. Most people love receiving jewelry or a watch. One can either look super nice and accessorized or make sure they are stylish and on time.
  • Candles. Everyone loves candles. So why not get a candle to help put people right into the season. They have a lot of new creative candles. I’m sure there’s one out there for everyone.
  • Stuffing stockings. This is pretty simple. For this present all you need is a cheap stocking and stocking sized stuff. Whatever fits goes! Simple enough, right?
  • Making your own snow globe. You can get a make your own clear ornament, put a picture inside, buy some fake snow, and detail it however you like.

Hopefully these present ideas will help resolve some confusion and help ease your mind this Christmas season. Your cheap, affordable presents will be loved.

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.
