10 SIMPLE Gifts Your Girlfriend Will Actually Love And Appreciate

Unsplash

A lot of guys have the false assumption that girls are these complicated and complex beings who they have to spend hundreds of dollars on in order to impress. NO! It is actually SO much more simple than all of you gentlemen believe it is. We do not expect you to give us the whole world, just a little portion of it.

I'm kidding. We are pretty simple to make happy, and little things will easily do the trick! Yes, certain occasions sometimes call for more elaborate and expensive gifts, but most of the time, we would rather have the small, thoughtful items that we can use in our everyday lives. We would rather know that you put THOUGHT into the gift that you are about to give us, rather than just dropped a bunch of money on something that you assumed we wanted because it was expensive.

Fuzzy Socks

Head on over to the dollar store and buy your girl some fun fuzzy socks. She may not wear them in public (or she might, I do occasionally), but she will DEFINITELY wear them around the house when she is lounging around! I know what you may be thinking gentlemen — NO! It does NOT have to be Christmas time to buy your girl some fuzzy socks. There is no gift more comfortable than a nice pair of fuzzy socks, no matter what time of year it may be!

Scrunchies

I LOVE my scrunchies. I have them in many different colors and patterns. Scrunchies are making a comeback! They are NOT just a thing of the past any longer! If your girlfriend has long hair, grab her some scrunchies next time you are out and about! They do not pull on your hair, and they are so much more comfortable than regular ponytail holders. Buy her some cute colored scrunchies!

Flowers

"Bitches love flowers" — Noah from Vine

Even little Noah knows that a way to a girl's heart is through flowers. Flowers cost about $7 at Walmart; come on guys, what are you waiting for? Buy your girl a nice bouquet of daisies, sunflowers, or roses. You can NEVER go wrong getting your girl some flowers (unless she is allergic, then stay away from flowers). It is a simple gift that she will love and display.

Jewelry

Diamonds truly are a girl's best friend, but you do not have to jump to this extreme just yet! Jewelry can be a simple way to show your girl that you love her. This is a go-to gift that many men already know that women love. While this category ranges in price, there are options such as Kendra Scott, Kate Spade, and even little local boutiques that have beautiful pieces that will not cost you an arm and a leg!

Teddy Bears

This may sound silly, but no matter how old your girlfriend is, she will adore a stuffed animal that you buy for her. More than likely (Even if she denies it or doesn't tell you), she will sleep with it every night that you are apart. Stuffed animals are used to calm children when they are young, but the same concept applies for girlfriends. Sometimes we are babies. Sometimes we miss you. Sometimes we need a little cuddle from a stuffed animal that you gave to us.

Pets

Okay, so this one is a TAD more complicated than the others, but it can work! My boyfriend recently bought me a fish for my birthday, and it is one of the most special presents that I have ever received. Girls love animals! Whether you want to go big and adopt a puppy/kitten together or stay small and adopt a hamster or fish, your girlfriend will adore this new pet and think of you every time she sees her new friend.

Succulents and mini cacti

Personally, I am OBSESSED with the small succulent plants and miniature cacti. They are very cheap to buy from a nursery and SUPER easy to care for and maintain! They add a little green life to every room and they radiate joy. I promise if you show up to her place with a miniature cactus, she will be one excited, happy girlfriend.

Candles, bubble bath, and lotions

Bath and Body Works sells the best three wick candles, and there is a scent for everyone! Girls love candles, baths, and lotions. I promise if you put together a little spa basket for her, she will never forget it! This is so simple to do, but will appear as though you put a lot of thought into this gift! Find out if she has a favorite scent and stock her up on bubble bath, body wash, lotions, and you can even throw in a $1 face mask and she will love you forever.

Something that has a special meaning between the two of you

Everyone relationship has little things that are special and unique to their particular relationship. If your girlfriend told you once upon a time that she LOVES butterflies, buy her a butterfly keychain! If she is a chocolate FANATIC, go out and get a little basket of chocolate for her! If she is OBSESSED with art, buy her a local artists' painting! Little things that show us you care and you are thinking about us mean so much. Show her that you know her well and that you listen to her!

Your time

Ultimately, the number one thing that most girlfriends CRAVE is your time! We really just love you and want you to be around us as often as we can have you. When you spend time with us, it is the greatest gift that you could give to us because you are the person who we want to share memories, time, and adventures with. This costs you guys NOTHING! (But don't get us wrong, we also love flowers and the above-listed items too!)

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
