The holidays are coming! Hopefully, you’ve already started shopping for the people on your list (especially the ones who are hard to buy for!), but if some of them have got you and your budget stumped, below are some great, reasonably priced ideas sure to delight whoever receives them. Happy hunting! #25. Live Olive Tree...

Way back in the middle of the election cycle, Chris Hardwick played Hashtag Wars and asked viewers and guests what they would do #IfIWerePresident. Now that we have a new President-elect in America, let’s take a look back and wonder…would some of these people have been better choices? #15. I feel like this guy would...

Some of us (many of us?) might wish on occasion that we were just a little bit smarter. A little quicker on the uptake, a little brighter – just enough so that we get all of the jokes, or don’t have to study quite so hard to ace the toughest exams. You might be surprised,...

If you’re an artist, you know that no day is complete if you’ve had no way to create. I’m an author, and even on days when I don’t write, my brain is working on unsnarling plots, registering new ideas, or chatting with characters in my head. For 21-year-old Victor Lundy, he took his sketchbook everywhere...

Stress and anxiety can come from a hundred different directions – work, school, family, friends – and sometimes, all at once. Plenty of us have already discovered tips and tricks to help us manage our stress levels, and it’s not uncommon for people to incorporate music into those coping techniques. Now, though, neuroscience confirms that...

It probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you that human beings in the U.S. spend the majority of their time indoors. Armed with that knowledge, it makes sense that we should try to make sure the air we breathe in the environments we spend the most time in is as good for us as possible,...

Wikipedia might not be the best place to go if you’re sourcing your high school or college history paper, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have any interesting information to offer. Which is exactly what Reddit user Amiantedeluxe proved when he compiled the most common word on each country’s page using a word frequency counter....

Despite a “war on drugs” that is now decades old, there is an epidemic in America. In a recent report, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy urged the government and healthcare industries to view the burgeoning drug addiction issue as a mental health problem as opposed to criminal behavior. He believes that if we can...

There are some things you go searching the Internet for, and there are others that come to you – unexpected, maybe even unwanted, but, in the end (especially if it has to do with cats), we realize they’re exactly what our lives have been missing. Like these cats wearing hats made out of their own...

Or, you know, for yourself – because sometimes if we want awesome presents, we have to buy them for ourselves. We all know someone who loves to spend time in the kitchen, and when that person collides with the sort of person who loves newfangled technology, well…they can be super fun to buy gifts for....

Stockings. Such a love/hate relationship, am I right? We all love seeing them stuffed and hung on the fireplace, but for the person doing the stuffing, they can be a daunting task. For one, it’s not cheap to fill them all with care. For another, how do you do it without giving people junk that...

Hosting a big holiday dinner can be super daunting. You need to keep your guests happy, you have appetizers and seating charts and fine china to think about, and, of course, there’s the actual meal to cook. It can be a lot of stress, but the rewards of bringing your family together are (most of the time) well worth...

Everyone’s family is weird in its own, special way. Most of us choose to laugh about it privately, but, in the age of social media, it’s also pretty hilarious to update Facebook or Twitter with a nice juicy anecdote. So it makes sense that when Jimmy Fallon introduced his latest hashtag, plenty of people jumped at the...

Some women are more into beauty products than others. Me? I don’t have the slightest idea what 90% of the things are on the shelves at Sephora. That said, whether you’re super into it, mildly interested, or just want to be able to look younger than your age with the simplest routine possible, you need...

I know we all have at least one person on our holiday or birthday list who loves nothing more than books, books, and more books! Sometimes it’s hard to know what they’ve already read, or to guess what they’re dying to get their hands on next, so here are some ideas other than actual books...
