One of the hardest thing about being in a relationship for five years (yes, I know it is a long time) is finding gifts to make/buy for four different occasions. This is the first year I have actually finished my boyfriend's Christmas present in advance. Usually I am rushing the day of to finish! So, I thought I would share some of my past gifts for those of you who procrastinate like me and have no idea what to get your person for Christmas!

1. Lovopoly

I found this idea on Pinterest and fell in love! This was not exactly easy, but it was well worth the time and effort. So, I based everything off of the real monopoly game and kept all of the amounts the same. As for the places on the board, I choose some of our favorite stores, restaurants, etc. The railroads were places we want to travel. Chance and community chest changed to family jewels and get lucky!

2. Photo Collage


First, I apologize that this is blurry, it is the only picture I have. This is pretty self-explanatory: buy a cheap frame (Dollar Tree), pick your favorite photos, make a collage on an app or a word document, print and Viola!

3. You're My Greatest Adventure Globe

I bought this blank, black globe at Target, but you can find them pretty much anywhere. I took a white paint pen and wrote, "You're my greatest adventure" and our anniversary date!

4. Engraved Pocket Watch


I found this by googling, "engrave-able pocket watch" and found this one on Etsy for only $20. I chose the saying based on something David and I tell each other, but obviously, you can put anything you want on it!

5. Open When Letters

Again, Pinterest is your friend when it comes to this one. In this selection of letters, I also included "open when you have a bad day" and "when you think about the future" notes. I tried to include a surprise in each such as play-dough (outside the letter) and a candy bar!

6. "I love you" Jar

All you need for this is a mason jar, popsicle sticks (or slips of paper), and things you love about your significant other! Just write something on each stick/paper for them to read later!

7. Memory Book (AKA EPIC Scrapbook)

For this project, I bought a sketchbook from Hobby Lobby and then I put a whole mix of things in it! I included memories, pictures, puns, and lists. I also bought the extra inspirational saying stickers that you see in this picture at Hobby Lobby in a scrapbooking pack!

8. Retro Viewer

I came across this idea by chance and I still love it! I chose my favorite pictures of us and the website did the rest! Here is the link if you want to check it out: https://www.image3d.com/retroviewer/customer/accou...

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
