5 Christmas Gifts That You Can Make For Your S.O

If you are don't have a large budget to spend money on expensive gifts this year for your S.O yet still want something that will put a smile on their face, here are some ideas. You can try to do it if you either have a lot of time or not enough time and some of these are fairly simple to make while others might require a little more time and effort.

Knitted hat and/scarf, etc.

This first item is a very sweet and affordable gift you can make for your S.O. I consider making a scarf the easiest gift to make. If you want to get fancy, you can make a hat. You can even make a sweater if you are really ambitious.

Photo album or Love Book

If you are into scrapbooking or collecting photos, it could be a sweet and cool idea to create a scrape-book of all your adventures together. You can also include cute little stickers or neat backgrounds that will make your photos pop and come alive.

Stitching a bag or a pouch

If you like to sew, embroider and/or stitch, you can take a piece of cloth or a used fabric or even a used fabric bag and create either the bag or decorate a plain bag with nice embroidery. Or you can create a pouch to carry change or small items that your S.O might carry around on a daily basis.

Keychain accessory

This you can get creative with since all you need is an idea of what you want for your keychain. There are plenty of websites that can show you how to make a personalized keychain and maybe you can come up with your own.

Painted boxes

If you want to just make something that doesn't require a lot of time and effort to make this is a good idea for a personalized gift for your loved one. Get a unpainted box of any shape or kind and paint it however you want it to be painted.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
