2019 Christmas Guide

Image
By

Christmas is upon us! Which means joy and hope is here! Since people give each other presents on Christmas I complied a guide on what to buy for everyone if your're unsure. I organized it by person and then by gift: an Expensive Gift, an Affordable Gift, An Experience, and a DIY Gift. I also attached links for the gifts. Also a new podcast is up here! Enjoy!

That Special Man in Your Life

Like your Dad or Grandpa!

Tools, $50+
Most years my dad asks for tools, but I don't know what kind, so if ya want to get tools just ask him what kind. I can't help ya with what kind here, but I'm sure an American made one will do!

 Keychain, $20
My dad has asked for keychains labeled with what the keys go to and now here some are! They are a little expensive for what they are though.

 Performing Arts Tickets, $40+
The Mystery Science Theater is coming in February and I know my dad would probably like to go. Getting tickets for somewhere ensures a memory and not a useless shirt in the closet.

 Underwear, $15 or less
Homemade underwear, how handy and personal!
For context read the post I wrote last year here, also I linked the title with a website for boxer short patterns.

Yo' Mama

Gifts for the fun mom.

Car, $?
If you can afford it you might want to get your mom a car, that's what my mom is asking for this Christmas, but make sure it's a cool car, no one looks cool driving a Subaru Outback.

Sweater, $80
Sweaters are great to give! Especially quality ones made out of 100% natural materials. I don't know if the one I linked is though.

Gym Membership, $50+
This might sound mean, but my mom asked for a renewal of her gym membership. I didn't know this experience ran so expensive.

Painting, $10
People love paintings especially if you made it for them. I painted one for mother's day of my mom's old farm and my mom adored it! Inexpensive too!

Your NOT Preppy Brother

You know the one, he insists he isn't preppy because he wears Rowing Blazers and like to skateboard instead of Vineyard Vines and going sailing.

Rugby Shirt, $195
I love this shirt and all the shirts Rowing Blazers makes, they're unique and fun, while maintaining history and style.

Skateboard Wheels, $30
I don't know know much about skateboard wheels, so I linked whatever my brother circled.

 Comedy Club Tickets, $25+
Comedians are always coming to perform and there are some good ones coming like David Spade at BellyUp Aspen or Michelle Wolf at Comedy Works Denver! I got my mom tickets for Adam Carolla for her Birthday and she loved it!

 Stickers, $10+
My brother and I went through a phase of making stickers and magnets. All you have to do is print on sticker paper and cover in self laminating plastic!

For the Snoop Dogg to your Martha Stewart

Gifts for your real friends.

 College Sweater, $90
I love Hillflint! They make the most wonderful college clothing that is cool, not overdone with too many colors, fonts, and mascots. This is a perfect gift for anyone in or out of school or anyone who wants to pretend they didn't drop out of college in front of the family.

 Macarons, $12+
I love macarons! My favorite are from Honey B's in Colorado, but they're also available at Whole Foods, Dana's Bakery, and many other places! Any friend with a refined palette would adore these!

Trip Tickets, $50+
Who wouldn't want to go on a vacation with their friends? There are many options of places to go for cheap (if ya time it right) like ski towns in the spring! How nice would it be to receive a plane ticket or part of a trip paid for?

Bath Bombs, Probably $5
DIY Bath Bombs have been mighty popular lately, so why not make some for friends. Or you could just go to Lush.

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

By
Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby  and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

By
      I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out.       We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Things I've Found on the Ground

By
Family and friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It has been a while since I've published a blog post, but after audience interest in the rekindling of the blog here I am at the 11th hour to ensure a numerical year doesn't go by without a post. I guess I've been gone because I've been busy or less inspired…I don't know. Anyways, for the past two years (and some months) I’ve taken pictures of things I find on the ground, some of  them are amusing, so I’ve decided to share some and write little stories for each. So, please enjoy a small collection of photos and commentary of things I’ve found on the ground.  Making Love in a Hopeless Place Where: Walmart Parking Lot When: December What: An Open Condom Wrapper Can anyone imagine a more romantic place to cement your love than a Walmart parking lot. I surely can't. Forget fireworks you have the rustle of your grocery bags in the back seat. Meanwhile the cold midnight air wafts in through your cracked windows a...
