5 Christmas Gifts ideas for 2016
Sarah McKalip

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'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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
