5 Christmas Gifts ideas for 2016

So you don't know what to get everyone for Christmas this year. Your budget is tight and you're at a loss for ideas. This list is something that I have come up with to help those who are stumped with gift giving ideas this Christmas. For me, gifts don't have to be expensive to make me happy. Homemade gifts are special, but even if they're not homemade, a personal touch before you give them away can make them just as special.

Christmas is my favorite time of year. God's joy is present everywhere, and love and joy are in the air. So, if you don't know what to give the special people in your life, this list may give you an idea of where to start! Merry Christmas to you!

1.) A Frame with your favorite photos

This gift can be very inexpensive, but also very meaningful. If it's for someone you have a lot of pictures with, you can pick your favorites and place them in the frame. They have frames at Target and Walmart with twenty spots to put pictures. It's a very thoughtful gift to give this Christmas.

2.) A jar of memories

You can get a mason jar at Walmart and find different things to decorate them with. Then you can fill the jar with different memories you've shared together or just little encouraging notes that they can read throughout the year. Fill it with 365 notes so they have one for each day of the next year.

3.) A book

In my opinion, books aren't a common thing to give anymore. I like giving books because you can leave personal notes on the inside cover, and you get to specifically pick out something they would like to read. It's a very meaningful thing to give!

4.) Stationary

I would personally love to get a stationary for Christmas. I feel like writing letters is something we should bring back. Even if you're not writing a letter to anyone specifically, they're beautiful to write on.

5. Candles

I love getting candles, and candle warmers too. They make the whole room smell good and they last for a long time. While it may seem like a common thing to give, many people actually enjoy receiving candles.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
