11 Unique Gifts To Give This Holiday Season

The holiday season is upon us, which means that there's about to be a whole lot of gift giving going on. I, for one, have reached reached my limit on giving generic mugs or taking advantage of the 6 for $24 soap sale at Bath & Body and splitting them up among friends. For those of you who want to go beyond candles, perfume, and fuzzy socks, here is a list of unique gifts to give this holiday.

1. Uterus Pillow- $20

I Heart Guts has the line of the cutest plush organs you've ever seen, complete with punny names like "Womb Service" and "Ain't Life Gland?" I, however, am partial to the uterus.

2. Wax Warmer- price varies

Whether it's a fancy shmancy warmer from Scentsy or a generic one from Walmart, these flameless little gems have the warm scent and ambiance of a candle, without the risk of your cat accidentally burning the house down.

3. Personalized Handwriting Bracelet- $31.00

Diamond earrings are never not a wonderful gift, but this Etsy shop customizes jewelry with a bit more of a personal touch.

4. Dollar Shave Club- $3-9/month

This is the gift that keeps on giving- as long as you keep paying for the subscription. This monthly supply of razor blades is perfect for men and women and ensures that your loved ones never shave with a dull razor again.

5. Himalayan Salt Lamp- $29.99

There are a lot of science-y/health reasons to own a himalayan salt lamp, on top of the fact that they're just plan beautiful. They are also sold in the form of smaller wall plug-ins and tea candle holders.

6. Swear Word Coloring Books- $7.54

This adult coloring books make a perfect book for the people in your life who have equally colorful language.

7. "Pocket Projector"- $149.99

This handy dandy gadget is perfect for die hard movie lovers and gamers, as it can turn any wall or ceiling into your own personal home theater.

8. Amazon Prime Membership- $99/year

I only spend $50/year on my membership since I'm a student, but I would gladly pay double that for the convenience, perks, and free shipping. Give the gift of Prime to the Amazon enthusiast in your life.

9. A Donation in Their Name

A lot of adults can be hard to shop for because when they need something, they just go buy it. It's truly special to know that the lives of others have been improved in your honor. This holiday season, consider making a donation to one of your loved ones' favorite causes, like St. Jude's, Planned Parenthood, Salvation Army, or the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

10. Smart Herb Garden- $60

What's more self-sufficient than growing your own food? Even if that food is tiny herbs grown in your brand new Click & Grow Smart Herb Garden Starter Kit from Urban Outfitters... Trust me, I attempted to grow herbs sans facy gadget and do you know what I got? A bunch of sad mugs of dirt.

11. Microwaveable Stuffed Animals- $18.59

Trust me, it's not as morbid as it sounds. These adorable stuffed animals have a calming lavender scent and can be microwaved or frozen to suit your needs. Trust me, every girl you know will be cuddling these comforting heat packs for dear life at least once a month.


May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and gifts as unique as yourselves.

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.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
