Are you in a time crunch getting gifts and not sure what to do? Have you run out of ideas or are short on money? Then I have the perfect list for you! Read on for easy, DIY gift ideas for guys and gals!

1. Mason Jar


Mason jars can be filled with almost anything. Put together an elf-themed one with some green m&m's and two white buttons. Throw some white chocolate covered pretzels in, glue 3 black buttons on the outside, and tie a red piece of fabric around the neck for a snowman. Toss in some red licorice pieces and make a cute belt to resemble santa.

2. Hot Cocoa Ornaments


Make some personalized hot chocolate mixes inside clear ornaments. Throw in some sprinkles, chocolate chips, and marshmallows!

3. Gingerbread Sugar Scrub


What you'll need:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup almond oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp all spice
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • Mason-style jar with lid

Directions

  1. In a medium sized bowl combine all ingredients except oils.
  2. Gradually add coconut & almond oil until scrub reaches desired consistency (you may use more or less of stated amount).
  3. Scoop Gingerbread Scrub into mason jar.
  4. Print Sticker Labels for the front of the jar and add a red bow.

4. Watercolor Mug

What you'll need:

  • White Ceramic Mug
  • Disposable Container
  • Nail Polish
1. Fill the container with warm water.
2. Add a drop of nail polish to the water and let it spread out. You can also use a toothpick to swirl the color around a bit to give it the effect you'd like.
3. Dip a white mug in the water.
4. Once you've achieved the look you want, let it sit for at least two hours.5. Paint Chip Trees

These little guys are almost free and easy to make! Simply cut triangles out of paint chips and you have Christmas trees! You can make them into cards, ornaments, decorations, almost anything. And you can personalize them to fit the person's favorite colors!

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.

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.
