Now that Thanksgiving has been properly celebrated and we've all awakwened from our turkey stupors, it's time to talk about that ever dreaded topic.

What do you get people for Christmas?

Now, let's not be too materialistic -- remember that Christ didn't come to earth for the gold, frankincense, or myrrh but rather to bring the greatest hope, love, and sacrifice the world has ever seen.

Therefore, the greatest gift you can give this season is a little more kindness and grace to the humans in your life.

But in the event that you have special people expecting small packages, I'm here to relieve your stress.

However, I can't understand every human being.

I can give you some pointers, however, for a certain type of human you know (the best type in my opinion).

If you're lucky enough to have a Ravenclaw in your life, here's how you brighten their day during this cold season.

If it fits their quirk, get it.

If they like pens that light up and you find a twelve pack, get it.

If they like socks with foods on them and you come across a hot dog pair, get them.

If they like hats that look like cartoon characters and you find a Bugs Bunny cap, you should buy one for everyone in your life.

They may not wear it every day, but knowing that you listened instead of tuning them out as a babbling fool when they expressed their interests will mean more than any fancy gift ever could.

(Caution: don't get the quirk wrong. That's awkward for everyone involved. Please actually know that they get joy out of said strange thing.)

If it's book related, you have a winner.

There is nothing better than a good book (or journal or book quote gadget or knickknack etc.)

Ravenclaws love learning new things -- even if it's something you're unsure they'll be interested in.

You can buy the best seller they mentioned.

You can buy the classic they ramble on about.

You can even pass on a copy of your favorite.

Regardless of how they feel about the content, a Ravenclaw is incapable of disrespecting a book.

Even if they never read it, the simple acknowledgment of their intellectual needs will always be appreciated.

(Caution: don't buy an offensive book. You know better.)

Homemade can never be turned down.

If you can paint, putting their favorite quote on a canvas is simple and easily treasured.

If you make Christmas ornaments, it'll always be hung up.

If jewelry crafting is your thing, it'll be worn without a doubt.

Something fashioned by your own hands holds and communicates immense amounts of care that will not go under-observed.

(Caution: if it is not your thing and you know it looks bad, don't make them pretend to tell you it's lovely. Go to Walmart and grab a pack of Oreo's.)

It really is the thought that counts.

Ravenclaws are rational, logical, thought-loving human beings.

When your gift shows that you've been listening, thinking, and attempting to understand, they will love it (even if they'd normally hate it).

Don't be afraid to strike out.

If you can answer their confused face with a "Remember that time you. . ." then all thoughts of disdain will vanish instantly.

So, if you want to please the Ravenclaw in your life, listen up.

As calculating as they are, they're just big softies on the inside.

And they're always a sucker for a punny, cheesy, adorable gift.

(Caution: just be sure it comes with love that is requited. Do NOT approach the girl you've never spoken to with a Star Wars pen and a "I hacked your Facebook and read your messages with your best friend about how you're planning to see "Rogue One" over the break!". However, if you want a Ravenclaw to know you care where you previously maybe haven't communicated that, a light and thoughtful gift is a good way to open the door. Just be smart friends, that's all we Ravenclaws wish for those around us -- an intellect equivalent to our own. [Put that on your Christmas list.])
