Buying Christmas gifts for my best friend for the past five years has definitely gotten a bit difficult. You'd think the longer you know someone the easier it is to shop for them, but in fact the longer I know someone, the more I critique every potential present. Nothing seems good enough or worthy to give. I am personally one to give gifts that not only meet their interests but that mean something and show I know who they are as a person. It can be hard to find items that are both sentimental and still something the gift receiver would really enjoy.

It's bound to be hard when you feel like you've already given your friends everything they would like during past holidays and birthdays. Here are ten convenient gift ideas that are easy for one to enjoy all while still having some meaningful value behind it all.

1. Fuzzy Blankets

These are extremely easy to use as room decor as well as a snuggle buddy when throwing on some movies.

2. Picture Frames

They are often sentimental and can be kept forever plus they are easy to decorate with.

3. Favorite Snacks and Drinks

It's quite simple and can really showcase how much you know about someone.

4. Gift cards

It may seem like you didn't put much thought into this kind of gift, but you are allowing the receiver to get exactly what they want and you're still having to know them enough to pick a place they would enjoy.

5. Candles

These can liven up any room and you're going to need to think of scents they would actually buy themselves.

6. Shoes

To buy one shoes, you would need to know their personality and focus on how they dress and what is worn the most.

7. Canvas Art

Who doesn't love to decorate with some art? You can surprise someone too with picking the perfect piece that matches who they are.

8. Mugs

They are so cute and easy to buy and you can personalize them to who you are getting them for.

9. Sweatshirts

This one is simple, who doesn't love sweatshirts to snuggle up in?

10. Sports/Concert Tickets

When COVID-19 is settled down, these are one of the best gifts to buy because you really need to know someone to pick what event they'd want to attend.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
