Have you waited until the last minute to go Christmas shopping? Are you panicking because you have no ideas? Do you really feel like your mom deserves a great gift? Have no fear, because here is a list of great last-minute gift suggestions for one of the most important people in your life.

1. Candles/decorative candle holders


Candles are always a good option, and Yankee Candle has a lot of great Christmas scents and holders and toppers.


2. Cute kitchen towels, pot holders, etc.

You can buy these from almost any store, and they help decorate for the holidays!

3. A new coffee mug


Most moms rely on their coffee, and every coffee drinker loves a cute new cup.

4. Winter accessories

Scarves, gloves, hats: everyone loves new cozy accessories. The North Face has some great sets that are cute and super toasty.


5. Gift card to her favorite store

Your mom deserves to be treated to a little shopping spree of her own. If she's not big on shopping, you can get her one for Starbucks, iTunes, or her favorite restaurant.

6. Lotions, shower gels, soap, etc.

These little things are great gifts that are always needed and always used. Bath & Body Works has so many great Christmas scents, and they run different sales all the way up to Christmas. So whether she loves vanilla, peppermint, cinnamon, or anything else, they most likely have it.

7. Music


If your mom is like my mom and loves music, choose a boxed set of albums from her favorite artist, or pick some new music within her favorite genre for her to listen to.

8. Blankets

Who doesn't love a good fluffy blanket? Especially as the weather gets colder, she will love a soft, warm blanket like this big one from Kohl's.

9. Sweaters


Sweaters are a perfect gift, as long as you know what size she wears. You can get her a big, over-sized one for lounging around the house, or a dressier one for work. While sweaters can run on the more expensive side, Kohl's and JCPenney almost always have good deals and sales.

10. Purses/Wallets


If your mom is very specific about the type/brand of purses she likes, I wouldn't pick this option. However, if she isn't very picky about what she wants, this can be a great choice since purses come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, making it easy to find something she would love.

11. Something homemade


While this usually isn't the go-to option, if you are crafty, you can always make a homemade gift like an ornament, photo frame, or art you've done. These gifts tend to be some of the most heartfelt, and a great choice if you're good at artsy things (unlike me). Pinterest is the place to go for these types of ideas.

The most important thing to remember is that your mom will love whatever you get her, no matter what it is. Whether it is big or small, expensive or cheap, home-made or store bought, she will think it is the greatest gift ever just because it came from you. Happy shopping and 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.
