Have you been sitting for hours trying to figure out what to get that last person you need to shop for the holidays? Well here are 10 things perfect for anyone on your Christmas list!

1. Cookware

This is typically best for the family member that you don't know what to get for Christmas. Something like a new knife set or new baking utensils will for sure put a smile on their face.

2. Home Decor

This ranges from a welcome mat for their front door (you could even make it funny or find a website where you can personalize one for them) to home decor, which could be a new throw pillow or blanket for their living room. A blanket is my personal favorite because I'm always cold and whenever I go to my friend's house the first thing I grab is a blanket!

3. Clothing

Maybe your person needs a new sweater or a new dress! If you don't know what size they wear, scarves and hats are always appreciated, especially now as the weather is getting colder.

4. Music

Everybody (or at least everyone I know) loves music! So if you know their favorite artist, get them a CD or an iTunes gift card, or even a membership to Spotify!

5. Your Time

Buy tickets to a sporting event, a musical, or a movie, and give it to someone this year. That way, you're giving them a present of something they enjoy AND you get to tag along and spend time with that person!

6. Food

Everyone loves food. Everyone needs food. You can either personally make something for them, which I would recommend because it's more personable, or run to the store and buy them their favorite snacks. It's sure to make both them and their tummy happy.

7. Self-Care Products

Everyone needs toothbrushes and toothpaste, a hair brush, skin care, ChapStick, and face masks. Think of what you would do to have the most relaxing day and the products you would need for that day, put them in a basket with some popcorn and a movie and you've given someone a reason to have a self-care day (which I know I love to have)!

8. Money

If you really can't think of ANYTHING to get for them, money is always a great fall-back present. You can cater it to them by getting them a gift card to their favorite store!

9. An Animal Companion

Now, before you get them this one, you should probably check in with them and their lifestyle to make sure they're able to take care of one, but I know I'd be happy if I got a puppy for Christmas! You can make it a smaller gift by getting them a fish or a hermit crab or even a hamster, if they're up for more responsibility.

10. Memories

Make them a scrapbook of all of the pictures and stories that you have with that person. It's a great way to remember your relationship with that person and always have something to look back on! If they're crafty, you could give them the scrapbook kit and make it with them, and an added bonus is getting to spend time with someone you love!

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
