The Perfect Gifts for the People You Love

Christmas shopping isn't easy and it is even harder when you are shopping last minute.

Christmas is exactly one week away! Those who got a head start on the holiday season will be at ease, sipping hot cocoa next to a perfectly decorated tree while the other half is running about the mall trying to scrounge up some last minute gifts. If you are one of these people, then you are part of over 40% of shoppers who buy gifts just days before Christmas. Here are some gift ideas for everyone in the family to help you pull off this seemingly impossible feat.

1. For Dad

Dads are often hard to shop for because there isn't a lot of options. The classic dad gifts involve shaving razors or watches, but how many razors can one man own?! Technology is always a good idea because Dads like to feel like their one of the cool kids. Dads can also appreciate a good gag gift, so don't be afraid to make him laugh this Christmas.

2. For Mom

The trick when buying gifts for Mom is to buy her gifts she normally wouldn't buy herself. Jewelry and clothes are hard to pick out, so unless she tells you exactly what she wants, there is a 99% chance she will return whatever she gets. Kitchenware is also a hit or miss because it isn't very exciting. You can't go wrong with bags because Moms are always carrying things and homemade gift are fun and will warm her heart. A gift service like Fab Fit Fun is also a great idea because it's a gift that keeps on giving.


3. For the Grandparents

Grandparents LOVE their grandchildren and kids more than anything and will appreciate any gift involving them. From experience, grandmas love jewelry that incorporates their grandkids and grandpas will adore any grill-ware, gardening-ware, or house-ware with their grandchildren on it.

4. For the Teens

Teens are often the hardest to shop for because they are very picky. They normally want whatever's on trend. Clothes are always a great option, too. When in doubt, gift card it out.

5. For the Kids

Activities. Activities. ACTIVITIES. Kids love to be entertained, so any gift that will entertain them will be a big hit. Hatchimals are the latest craze, but they are often hard to find so if you are shopping last minute you might have missed out on this trend. Games are a great idea because they will keep the kids out of your hair while you are trying to get Christmas dinner on the table.

6. For Anyone

People like two things: comfort and entertainment. Technology is great for any age group as well as anything soft or that will keep them warm during the long winter months.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
