Graduation Gift Guide 2016

I might be a little late for this... but I think Graduation parties are still going on... so here are some gift ideas for grads.

Money is always traditional. That's probably the most helpful... but there are always other things you can get too.

If they're moving out/moving to college a Bed Bath and Beyond Gift Card would be very helpful. Or a Target gift card would be very helpful.

My friend got me a really nice jewelry box that said "I have everything I just need somewhere to put it" or something. That was cute.

You could do something cute and pinteresty like make a candy board or something. That would be fun!

It would be nice to buy them something you know they wouldn't buy themselves. That could be anything... but something you see and you know they would love... but you also know that they wouldn't get for themselves. Hard to decide, but I think that would be thoughtful and nice.

If they like a cartoon or have some sort of hobby... you could do something themed on that! I really like minions, so I got a lot of minion-gifts.

A thoughtful piece of jewelry with a memorable quote or something on it. My sister got me a necklace of a fortune cookie with a quote from Graham Moore on it. I thought that was sweet and clever because I want to write movies.

Electronics are very useful... but expensive. I wouldn't say to cheap out on a quality computer though... but that's just me. I've had bad experience with refurbished macs and I don't trust many other brands... so yeah. But iPads are a little cheaper... You could get them a fitbit because thats always great... so yeah.

Books are good, especially ones that are useful for getting jobs and things like that. There was a dad that got his daughter Oh The Places You'll go with a note from all of her teachers... thats the type of gift that could make you cry... but its great!

If they're super into planning, Erin Cordon planners or whatever her name is would be great!

And I think thats it... I kind of went through it last year when I did a "what I got for graduation" post... but yeah. I thought it would be useful to do something again.

Byee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
