Practical Gifts

Been delayed yet again, but I'm working on it. I promise. This semester is almost over. Hallelujah. Anyway, I figured this was a good time to post a blog on practical gifts idea. And I want to point out that these are practical gifts for me. I mean, I am sure other people have their own ideas of what is practical to them, but I wanted to make a post on what kind of stuff that I really like because the holidays are upon us and I know my family will really appreciate this post. For the rest of you that wandered in here by mistake, I hope maybe you can pull some ideas for yourself or you know just read it because you have nothing better to do. Here's my list and I hope you guys have an amazing Sunday!

Also, here's a picture of two Christmas cats just because they are freaking adorable!


1. Watches. I have become obsessed with watches and I feel like you can never have too many. You need a watch to go with every outfit. Or at least I do. I think it's pretty normal. The main reason I have become obsessed with watches is because it's become impractical to pull my phone out all the time in order to check the time. It's just not very professional. Now, I got to check my watch on the sly and make it look like I was stretching.

2. Sweatpants. I don't really wear real pants anymore. It's a travesty I know, but I just don't care. I'm always having to be dressed up for schools and I'm just tired of having to look professional all the time so yeah if you see me on campus late in the day, I'm gonna be looking like a hobo. So help a hobo out and buy her some sweatpants.

3. Body soap, lotion, and perfumes. I'm not picky about these things and I don't use a certain brand so it's always nice when people give me these things and I don't have to go out and buy this stuff because I'm cheap and if I can stock up for Christmas and my birthday I will. Not to say I don't use these things everyday because I do! Don't think I'm a smelly hobo, I have some standards.

4. T-Shirts. I am a super nerd so I'm always getting nerdy shirts which is great, but I also love plain t-shirts because they are easy to make look professional. I mean, I'm a pro at throwing a cardigan or blazer over a plain t-shirt and making it look like I actually tried so feel free to give me plain t-shirts. I will love you!

5. Socks. Let's be real. You can't ever have too many socks. Especially since my dryer is always eating them.

6. Gift cards. Gift cards are great since I know a lot of people hate the idea of giving money. Although, I think money is probably the best practical gift you can give someone. Let me just clarify that if you are going to buy me a gift card, I only have problems when people buy me gift cards to places I don't go to. So in order to maximize efficiency of your gift, I love coffee, Books-a-Million, food, and gas. I do not own an iPhone so buying me Itunes gift cards are kind of a waste, but everything else is a-ok.

7. Toothbrushes. Ha, this probably seems odd, but I mean I go through a lot of toothbrushes. I know they're not very expensive, but it still beats me having to one, remember to buy them; and two, spend hours deciding which toothbrush is right for me. I just can't be bothered honestly. So totes buy me toothbrushes.

8. Food. This kind of goes back to the gift cards, but I mean, my mother's bought me beef jerky before and wrapped it up. I love candy so that's always a fair assumption of what to buy me. Coke. You can totally wrap up a case of cokes and give it to me. I will love it.

9. Coffee. Probably the best gift you can give any college student. And I mean you can buy me a gift card to Starbucks, you can buy me so K-cups, you can buy me creamer, the list really never ends. I love coffee guys. It's a problem.

10. Lastly, I feel it's important to point out that you don't have to buy me anything! If you want to make me a Christmas ornament or write me a sappy poem. I will love it because it's from the heart. I am thankful you are in my life and I don't need a present to feel loved.
