White Elephant Gifts People Actually Want

Don't be the person who brings a lame gift to a White Elephant party (and the same goes for Secret Santa, Grab Bag, and so on). Don't even think about bringing a gift card, candle, or body lotion. Here are some ideas of cool gifts people in your office, your group of friends, or family will actually want.

1. Pizza Cone Maker

Amazon

What's better than pizza? Pizza in the shape of an ice cream cone!

2. 2 Pounds of Red Starbursts

Amazon

Everyone's favorite flavor of Starburst. They'll be thankful they don't have to pick around the icky yellow kind.

3. Wingman Shot Glass

Amazon

It will make taking a shot a little less painful. They'll probably even invite you to use it with them.

4. The Something Store.com

somethingstore.com

For the low price of $10, this website will send you a surprise gift. It doesn't ask you any information about yourself, so it is a total shock when you receive it. They will send you anything from a Kindle to an inflatable punching tower! It's just the luck of the draw.

5. The Hungover Cookbook

Amazon

Hangovers. Everyone gets them. Everyone hates them. This book will help the lucky receiver cook during their recovery.

6. Sriracha To-Go Bottle Key Chain

Amazon

Have you ever really wished you had hot sauce with your meal when it was unavailable? Whoever receives your gift probably has too. This convenient on-the-go bottle of sriracha goes right on your key chain!

7. Mini Ice Luge

Amazon

An essential to any college party. Ice luges can be expensive and heavy, but this do-it-yourself kit fixes that problem.

8. Why You're So Hot Book

Amazon

Boost their confidence with this personal feel-good book about why they are hot. They'll thank you for years to come,

9. Emoji Pancake Pan

Amazon

Everyone likes pancakes, and they'll love them even more when their pancakes are smiling at them.

10. iPhone Merry Charger

Amazon

Everyone is constantly breaking or losing their phone chargers. Give someone a nice surprise with this holiday charger that lights up when you use it.

May the gifts be ever in your favor!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
