5 Ways To Christmas Shop Online

Christmas season is always difficult, especially when it comes to buying gifts. To add insult to injury, some people have been in your life for so long, you feel you've exhausted every possible gift option. And, if you're anything like me, you probably don't have all the time in the world to walk through fifteen malls just to find the perfect present. So here is a short guide on ways to do your Christmas shopping via the internet, and how to hopefully find a gift for that person on your list who is impossible to buy for.

1. Buzzfeed's Buy Me That

Not only does Buzzfeed do gift guides, but each of their product lists fall under a specific category, and all of the products have links to where you can buy them online. On top of that, there is a daily "Best Deals on the Internet Today" list, if you're looking to save some money on some nice gifts.

2. RedBubble

If you know what your person likes, but you feel all the gifts you find in stores are not unique enough, try RedBubble. The site offers a multitude of ways to get artists' prints in personalized ways, such as t-shirts, throw pillows, or stickers. Everything is fairly priced and always high quality.

3. Etsy

If you're looking for something ultra special and unique, try Etsy! There's nothing like a handmade gift from someone trying to run their own business. A lot of times, you can work with Etsy artists to personalize designs, and there's a good chance you'll find something there for the person you're buying for.

4. Uncommon Goods

This site has quite a variety of things, so if the person you're buying for has unique taste, try starting here!

5. Make Something Yourself

I know it seems weird to suggest a handmade gift, but sometimes those are the best. You can try arm knitting a scarf in 30 minutes or making a memory book for the special person in your life. A gift with a little heart, even if all you did was pay $5 for some yarn, is the best kind of gift.

Christmas shopping is always stressful, especially when you don't know what to get or don't have the time to go looking in a lot of different places. Hopefully, this list will help you on your way to buying the perfect gifts for everyone on your list.

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.
