Father's Day Gift Guide: 2016

I'm kinda bad at shopping for men... idk its just hard... but here are some good ideas.

Books are always good! If your dad likes history, maybe get him the book that inspired the musical Hamilton! I think that would be a good one. There are also lots of funny-man biographies out. I think Martin Short has one, Patton Oswalt has a book about movies thats good if your dad likes movies, Nick Offerman has a book called "Paddle Your Own Canoe" that seems to be THE father's day book to get. If your dad likes dogs and fiction maybe something like The Art of Racing In The Rain. And Cookbooks are always an option!

Is your dad a Home-Improvement buff like mine? Home Depot Gift Card! Lol might not be the most fun thing ever, but my dad really likes it.

Got a lot of money? Lol. That sounds rude... but its true. Treat your dad to tickets to see Hamilton! That seems to be a musical that dads can get on board with. Lol. Or get him the soundtrack if you can't justify the insane price of tickets. As I've said, its a play that dads would like.

One year we went to a glass blowing place and my sister and I got our hand prints in a marbleized paperweight type of thing. He liked that. Sentimental things like that are always good, pictures of the family that you could frame or create a book of or print on a blanket or something like that. There's a lot you can do with a picture or a handprint, and that will probably be something your dad will love!

I think if you're a kid or you just can't afford a present right now... get creative! Craft, do a coupon book, write something nice for him! Theres a lot you can do with a little bit of stuff... you know!

Dvd's are always good too. My dad likes the Star Wars movies and the Minions... we're a minion-loving family! So really... anything minion related is also good!

If your dad is technologically challenged... or just doesn't understand social media... teach him how to use stuff! That could be fun and dangerous lol... but I think any dad would appreciate that!

Also ALCOHOL! Lol. My dad doesn't drink a whole lot... and honestly we have a lot of alcohol we'll never drink in the house... but still I think thats something dads could appreciate.

And a Fitbit! Thats the gift that everyone needs and no one really knows they need it... so its the perfect gift! Lol.

Hydro Flasks would be good too! Those are good water bottles that work perfectly if you're looking to drink more water, or if you work out a lot.

And yeah... I think those are all my ideas for right now!

Byeee!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
