Holiday Gift Guide For Everybody In Your Life
Urban Outfitters 2012

It's that special time of the year again, folks! Every time the leaves drop and the temperature plummets for the first time, the stress of picking out some great presents always sneaks up on you. Before you know it, Black Friday came and went and you realize that it's time to get your stuff together! Hopefully this gift guide will take some of that stress off of you, whether buying for your best friend or your dad. Happy Holidays!

Girl Friends and Sisters

  1. Tis’ the season, am I right? Comfy pajama pants or shorts are always useful year round, but they’re especially good to cozy up with this holiday season. Check out the great flannel pants that Aerie is offering now.
  2. If you live somewhere cold like me, bundling up is very necessary. If you’ve got to do it, then you might as well look cute! Buy your friend or sister some cute cold weather accessories like a blanket scarf, a fuzzy hat, or some nice boot socks. Francesca's has a great selection!
  3. Mantra bands are not only a super stylish gift, but also very encouraging. They come in three different metal colors and you can pick between dozens of life mottos to keep your friend or sister inspired on the daily.

Guy Friends and Brothers

  1. Every guy has a different style, but sweatshirts come in so many different styles that you’re sure to find one that he’ll love. Stores like Urban Outfitters even has a “Gift Guide For Him” page on their website that offers some great ideas. This Adidas sweatshirt from Urban is comfortable and will keep your guy up with the trends.
  2. Herschel wallets have a great look and are so practical. Any guy would be happy to get this as a gift from you! Plus, there are so many different styles, sizes, and colors to choose from.
  3. Socks sound like such a typical, dreaded present but I promise they can be a great gift to give! At stores like Topman you can find a ton of awesome patterns that guys will love for a great deal, such as this 3 for $15.

Mothers

  1. Moms always work so hard, so buying them a gift card for a nail salon, massage, or spa would be very appreciated and offer them a great escape from the usual madness of life.
  2. Kendra Scott necklaces are very trendy yet super classy and good for everyday wear, which is why they would make a perfect gift for your mother. There are so many different colors and stone types you can choose from, too!
  3. After a long day of doing what moms do, they should be able to wind down with a big, comfy throw blanket. There are so many to choose from but the ones from Anthropologie have my heart! You can also check out Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, and Kohl's for some more great options!

Fathers

  1. This is a little more on the pricer side, but it’s well worth the money! The Tile is a keychain and app that helps you find your keys if you misplace them, which my dad seems to do quite often.
  2. Men have to stay warm too, so getting your dad a comfy hat or beanie for the colder weather will be very practical and appreciated.
  3. Give your father the gift of style and protection by getting them a nice phone case! This gift is underrated because it’s not only very important to have, but you know they’ll use it everyday. Nordstrom has some great options for men’s phone cases.

Significant Others

  1. Watches are really nice quality and thoughtful gifts, so they’re perfect for a significant other! They come in a wide price range so you’re sure to find one that works for you. Nordstrom has great choices, as well as Daniel Wellington, Fossil, Guess and Urban Outfitters.
  2. Perfume or cologne is not only a great gift for your significant other, but for you too since you’re the one smelling them all the time. So, It’s a win win! Sephora has the best options and variety, but you can usually find the same one’s on Amazon as well so make sure to check that out!
  3. Personally, I think Homemade gifts are the way to go because they’re so sentimental and it’s obvious that you put a lot of time and thought into their gift. Pinterest is the DIY haven, so you’re sure to find a ton of great gift ideas there.

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.
