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.

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.
