With Christmas just around the corner, a lot of people might be finding themselves scrambling to pick up a last minute gift for a friend or relative. It's too late to get anything shipped in time, so any presents have to be purchased from a brick and mortar store— ugh! This is a list of gifts that are easy to assemble and don't require ordering anything online.

1. Relaxation Kit.

I put together two different versions of this gift. The basic idea is to assemble items that any woman would love to have whenever she wants to treat herself. The first option is made entirely of items I picked up my local Bath and Body Works. It contains a coco shea honey candle, two bath bombs, a vanilla bean noel body creme, and a matching body spray. The second version is made up of a pair of slippers and pajama set from Victoria's Secret, as well as a mini Dr. Teal's bubble bath and Epson salt that I got from Walgreen's.

2. DIY Shadow Box.

Shadow boxes are a beautiful addition to anyone's home decor and they have a special handmade touch. This option is especially great if you have collected a lot of great photos and memories with a certain friend or relative. Shadow boxes are really easy to create and they don't require a lot of supplies. All you need is a shadow box frame, photos, colorful paper, scrapbook letters, and a few decorative accents. I got this shadow box frame and everything I used to decorate it with from Michael's.

3. Sun & Fun Duo.

This is a great option if you live somewhere that is sunny and hot all year round, like California or Florida. I put this set together using a basic sunscreen from Walgreen's and a pair of adorable Betsey Johnson sunglasses I got a TJ Maxx. If you're looking to add a little more to this gift, consider adding a beach towel and/or a pair of cute sandals.

4. Makeup Lover's Eye Set.

A quick trip to Ulta or Sephora will get you everything you need for this gift idea. I paired the Peanut Butter and Honey Pocket Palette from Too Faced with one of the Better Than Sex Mascaras by the same brand to create this cute makeup gift.

5. Accessories Jar.

There are a lot of great variations of this gift. You can create put it together using any earrings, necklaces, headbands, or bracelets. There are a lot of cute accessories available at Target and almost every women's fashion store you can find at a mall. I put my accessories jar together using two pairs of earrings I had ordered earlier from Paparazzi jewelry and a headband I got at Charlotte Russe. The jar itself is from Walgreen's.

Merry Christmas!

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.
