10 Holiday Gift's People of All Ages Will Love

SymbolsNEmoticons

Holidays are just around the corner. Are you worrying about what you should get your kid? Holiday time can get stressful, but don't stress! You can have so many fun things that you didn't know about from fun toys to color changing mugs. Here are a list of ideas.

1) Hatchimals

There are five “species” of Hatchimal – Pengualas, Draggles, Owlicorns, Burtles, or Bearakeets. They start to make cute noises, encouraging the child to love and care for the egg in order for it to "hatch." The more the child play with it, the faster it will hatch.

2) Barbie Smart Dream House

Barbie Smart Dream House is based off voice recognition. You can actually hook it up to WiFi. If I was a kid I would be all over this.

3) FurReal Friends: Torch My Blazin' Dragon

FurReal Friends are pets that you take care of and they help kids to become more responsible. He breaths real, fire-colored mist and you can feed him a color changing treat.

3) Drones

Flying Toys? What's better than that? What kind of child would not want a toy that they could actually control and fly around. Drones started to get more and more popular this year. You can find them at stores all over the place.

4) Virtual Reality Headset

The Virtual Reality headset is amazing. You can download an app and it has the option of which realities you can be in. You can be in the ocean with sharks, on a roller coaster, in a haunted house. There are so many amazing options.

5) Harry Potter Remote Control Wand

Imagine being able to control your TV with an actual Harry Potter wand. Have you ever wished that you could? Don't stress because now you can! This gift is amazing for any Harry Potter fan.

6) Coloring Books

Coloring books make amazing holiday gifts. They are perfect for any age, and they are great stress relievers. When you are stressed and want to relax, just pick up your coloring book and start coloring. It will make you feel so much better. They make the coloring books in so many patterns. You can even get a Alice In Wonderland coloring book or a swear world coloring book for adults.

7) FitBit

A FitBit is a watch that could tell you the number of steps that you take, the time, your heartbeat and the amount of exercise that you did in one day. Some of the newer ones can even track your sleep patterns. Who wouldn't want to wear this fancy watch?

8) Color Changing Coffee Mug

When the heat touches your coffee mug it will change colors. There are mugs that go from a sad face when there is no liquid in them to a happy face when liquid is poured into it. These are mostly sold on Amazon. They also have coffee mugs that have a picture of a empty battery and when coffee is poured into it, the battery becomes full.

9) Beats

If you want amazing sound and entertainment you should go with Beats. These have been the leading brand of headphones since 2006. They have amazing quality and sound. This should be at the top of the Christmas list for anyone who loves music.

10) HoverBoard

Who wouldn't want to ride around town on a HoverBoard? You can get from place to place so fast using this amazing device.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Don't Be That Person

Bowling Green State University

Jessica Pinero

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3093

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
