Dr. Northrup

It's that time of year and if you're anything like me, you can't think of what to get your best friend nonetheless your coworkers/teachers/acquaintances. When creativity doesn't strike and your running out of time, these 10 gift ideas will be great for anyone that you feel deserves a little something.

1. Gift Cards

Gift cards offer flexibility and are perfect for someone you don't know a lot about. They're a little impersonal but who doesn't love a free meal or tank of gas.

2. Amazon Fire Tablet

We all know someone obsessed with Amazon so the Amazon Fire Tablet is the perfect gift and at only $40 or below you can't go wrong. It's a gift that seems over the top, but won't break the bank.

3. Candles

Candles are a timeless and practical gift great for anyone. Whether it's to make a room smell nice, set the mood, or shed some light when the power goes out, the array of colors and smells can suit anyone's picky preferences.

4. Framed Photograph

Framed photographs are thoughtful and affordable. Give one to an acquaintance and watch them smile from ear to ear.

5. Small Blanket/Beach Towel

You can guarantee that no one else will get someone a blanket or towel because it's never thought of, but whenever your acquaintance uses it they will always think of you.

6. Books

Give someone a favorite book of yours. This way they get to know you a little better and you can both talk about it after they're done reading it.

7. Earphones

Who doesn't use earphones on a daily basis? These little guys are so useful but also happen to be easy to lose. Set someone up with a new set for Christmas. They can be bought within a wide range of prices and styles giving you plenty of options.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
