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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
