If you're like me and enjoy giving gifts more than getting them, the holiday season and birthdays are probably your favorite time of year. Shopping for friends and family is undeniably fun and seeing each reaction as gifts are opened is always fulfilling. Sadly, as great at gift-giving as you may be, some people are simply impossible to shop for. If you need a gift idea for someone that's hard to please, check out these ideas!

1. Headphones

A reliable set of headphones is essential to everyday life. If you have a bigger budget consider Beats by Dr. Dre, or look into more affordable brands like x and x.

2. Laptop stickers

This is an inexpensive gift that can be made meaningful by choosing the perfect stickers! Redbubble has thousands of stickers to choose from.

3. Apparel

College gear, athletic clothing, casual attire, etc. The options are endless! Try RetailMeNot for coupons to clothing stores.

4. Face masks

Everyone can benefit from skin care, and face masks are sold in basically every drugstore or high end makeup store. Sephora's face masks are awesome and budget-friendly!

5. A travel mug

Travel mugs come in many different shapes, sizes, colors, and price ranges, so shop around to find something that works for both your budget and the person receiving the gift. Try Hydroflask or Yeti for something classic or Etsy for something unique!

6. A portable charger

Who doesn't need a portable charger? Try Amazon for items that are cheap and reliable.

7. A camera lens kit for your phone

Cell phone lens attachments are a great gift for the photographer in your life, or anyone who appreciates something nifty. Amazon and Best Buy have some great kits.

8. Your favorite book

Gifting someone your favorite book shows that you care and want to share something special with them. :)

9. Chocolates

Or any dessert. Make sure they're not allergic to whatever you decide to give them.

10. A Fitbit

Seeing your step count increase during the day is oddly motivating. Gift someone a Fitbit so they can enjoy the little victories too!

11. Spotify Premium, Apple Music, etc.

This is an overall great gift --- affordable, useful, and thoughtful. Consider this for the people you don't know too well but still deserve a gift.

12. Gift cards

Or cash. Money is money!

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.

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.
