Shopping for gifts last minute can be a stressful time for everyone, especially when you have no clue what to get. Well, here are some helpful gift ideas to put on your parents, siblings, friend, or even significant other.

Amazon Prime has some great gifts that will be shipped to your house in two days, so if you're cutting it close to the big day you can get anything from a bath gift basket for your best friend to a plasma tv for your father.

Target and Walmart always seem like somewhere to avoid during the holidays however, a few small things can make a great gift bag/set. Bath bombs, face masks, and nail polish are all under $7 and putting them in a cute basket, which you can also find in either of the stores with a cute bow, can be a thoughtful cheap gift.

A gift to a boyfriend or brother can be found easily. A shaving kit with a yummy smelling scent is something that most boys would appreciate, and don't usually take the time to get. However, if you're looking for something more fun try going to GameStop and getting a new, or used, video game which is usually $30 max.

Kids are usually the easiest to shop for but, it's hard to get them something that they don't already have. Bathroom crayons, which are even fun for adults, are bound to keep children of any age entertained. There is also the Water Wow Coloring Books which are no mess coloring books that kids can reuse, coloring with water. Both of these presents are on Amazon and at most big retail stores.

Lastly, if money is an issue there are always easy, meaningful gifts to give like the Love Jar. The Love Jar is any type of jar or bottle around filled up with as many types of reasons or compliments you can about the person you love. I have given this to my mother in the past and she is still pulling out reasons why I love her and to this day says it is her favorite gift she has been given.

Giving presents and the Holiday season should not be a stressful time for you, so use these (hopefully) helpful present ideas to ease up on the pressure and bring a little more joy into the season.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing!
