5 Basic Gifts Your Girlfriend Wants for Christmas

scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com

As the holidays are approaching at a rapid speed, it's time to start thinking about what the people in your life might want to receive. For any boyfriend or girlfriend trying to find a gift that their significant other would want, this can be a lengthy and exhausting process. So, if you're searching for the perfect gift, here's the simple guide to go by.

1. Socks

Every single girl will love socks. Fuzzy socks, colorful socks, patterned socks, whatever kind of socks. It's an easy present that you can get basically anywhere, and Target usually has some good deals around this time of year concerning socks. Trust me, your girl will love you for it.

2. Candles

Candles are an excellent choice when trying to pick out gifts for your girlfriend. They add warmth, nice scents, and are pretty to watch. There are so many different candles to choose from, but the best ones are usually Yankee candles, or the newish WoodWick candles that sound like crackling firewood as they burn (I highly recommend these!). Candles are another gift that will make her happy no matter what!

3. Date Cards/Sticks

This homemade idea can be relatively easy to make and I guarantee your girlfriend will think highly of you for putting in the effort to make her gift. However you choose to make them, you can put a certain activity that would be fun for the two of you to do together. That way, when the two of you are thinking about plans for the day or evening, you can pick an activity from the date cards you made.

4. Blankets

Soft, cozy blankets is one of the best parts of winter. Like most girls, we get cold pretty easily. So a blanket that you have given us will definitely be a major hit.

5. A framed photo of the two of you

A sweet present that your girlfriend will adore. Whatever picture you want to put in that frame will make her day, and every time she looks at it, she'll be so glad for you. It's not expensive to do, and it will certainly put a smile on your girlfriend's face for a long time.

All these simple gifts are easy bets to making the person you love delighted. All of them are extremely easy to purchase-just head over to your local Target and you can pretty much buy everything that you need in one trip. Happy gift hunting!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Don't Be That Person

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
