12 Unusual Christmas Gift Ideas
Thomas Hawk

Here's a confession for you: I don't enjoy shopping for Christmas gifts. It's not that I don't like to give gifts, because I do, I love seeing my friends and family happy because of something that I got for them, and I know the way that I treasure gifts and hope others do the same. It always makes me happy to use something someone gave me, because not only do I enjoy the item itself, but I get to think "Oh, so-and-so gave me this, that was so nice" and I get a bonus smile.

But finding the perfect gift is HARD. You don't want to get something that they already have, but you want it to be something they will like, too. So unless you know them REALLY well, it's hard to find the balance.

Well, don't worry, Santa's little helper is here for you. Here are a few unusual Christmas presents that your friends and family might enjoy-- and where to find them!

1. Owl Mug

These hand painted stoneware mugs are sure to bring a smile to lovers of owls and coffee. So cute!

2. Don't drop the f bomb!

I don't even have to say anything here. I know you have already thought of the perfect person for this fine, classy paperweight.

3. Peacock Glasses Holder

Just look at this guy! Who wouldn't smile as they bespectacle a peacock every night before bed?

4. Balloon Dog Night Light


Balloon animals + night light= perfect present for a child in your life.

5. FREAKING UNICORN TERRARIUM!

Did you hear me, people? You can make an adorable little home for your unicorn.

6. Funny Wall Art

All of the 90s kids who grew up playing Oregon Trail will appreciate this.

7. Seven Deadly Sins Glasses


Which of the seven deadly sins does alcohol bring out in you? Now you can show it off while you drink.

8. Middle Earth Coasters

Delightfully geeky, yet practical.

9. Viking Hair coils

For a totally unique gift idea, something to style up your hair.

10. Green Lantern Ring

Or maybe a Green Lantern ring that actually lights up?


11. Sally's Jars

Just set these guys on the mantle for smiles... or stares, depending on the company you have.

12. Foodie Dice

If you want to be on Hell's Kitchen without all the yelling (or prizes, to be fair), these foodie dice as just for you!

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.
