White Elephant Gifts People Actually Want

Don't be the person who brings a lame gift to a White Elephant party (and the same goes for Secret Santa, Grab Bag, and so on). Don't even think about bringing a gift card, candle, or body lotion. Here are some ideas of cool gifts people in your office, your group of friends, or family will actually want.

1. Pizza Cone Maker

Amazon

What's better than pizza? Pizza in the shape of an ice cream cone!

2. 2 Pounds of Red Starbursts

Amazon

Everyone's favorite flavor of Starburst. They'll be thankful they don't have to pick around the icky yellow kind.

3. Wingman Shot Glass

Amazon

It will make taking a shot a little less painful. They'll probably even invite you to use it with them.

4. The Something Store.com

somethingstore.com

For the low price of $10, this website will send you a surprise gift. It doesn't ask you any information about yourself, so it is a total shock when you receive it. They will send you anything from a Kindle to an inflatable punching tower! It's just the luck of the draw.

5. The Hungover Cookbook

Amazon

Hangovers. Everyone gets them. Everyone hates them. This book will help the lucky receiver cook during their recovery.

6. Sriracha To-Go Bottle Key Chain

Amazon

Have you ever really wished you had hot sauce with your meal when it was unavailable? Whoever receives your gift probably has too. This convenient on-the-go bottle of sriracha goes right on your key chain!

7. Mini Ice Luge

Amazon

An essential to any college party. Ice luges can be expensive and heavy, but this do-it-yourself kit fixes that problem.

8. Why You're So Hot Book

Amazon

Boost their confidence with this personal feel-good book about why they are hot. They'll thank you for years to come,

9. Emoji Pancake Pan

Amazon

Everyone likes pancakes, and they'll love them even more when their pancakes are smiling at them.

10. iPhone Merry Charger

Amazon

Everyone is constantly breaking or losing their phone chargers. Give someone a nice surprise with this holiday charger that lights up when you use it.

May the gifts be ever in your favor!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
