How Do I Get Him a Gift Without Making Him Think I’m Asking to Get Serious? [Ask A Dude]
With the holiday season upon us, I wanted to know if it would be appropriate to get him a gift. I wasn’t planning on setting up a formal “gift exchange” dinner or anything, but every now and again I’m in a store and see something that makes me think, “Ahh, he would love this!”
What to Wear When Holiday Shopping [CC Lookbook]
Remember ladies, it’s not as relaxed as it might seem. Shopping for holiday sales and scores is an athletic event too, and you need just the right uniform.

Skipped Black Friday? Try Cyber Monday
I love online shopping. You don’t have to go to a store and fight crowds. You can shop naked if you want to.
The Weekly Ten: Last Minute Gift Ideas
I love giving presents. I love the face people make when opening up the specifically picked gift, hearing the sounds of the wrapping paper tearing. I love the hugs and thank yous, the ‘Oh my god! You totally shouldn’t have (but I’m secretly really really glad you did)’s. However, I hate the process you need to take to get there.
Toys I Wish Were Around When I Was A Kid [Photos]
When I was a kid, I had some pretty awesome toys. Pretty Pretty Princess, the plastic Polly Pockets with huge wardrobes, the Barbie Dream House and awesome outside water toys all kept me entertained for hours. While my toys were cool, they were nowhere as cool as the toys the kids have today. I’m seriously jealous. Maybe I’ll add some of these to my Christmas list this year…
7 Holiday Gifts That Give Back
We college kids are absolute masters when it comes to stretching the dollar—we share textbooks, swap party outfits, take rolls of toilet paper from public bathrooms and chug as much beer as we can when playing pong at other people’s apartments. So when we give gifts this holiday season, we’re definitely making sure we’re getting as much bang as we can for every single one of our bucks.
Dear America: Let us Actually Celebrate the Holidays!
Alright, here’s the deal: Target, Macy’s Inc., Gap Inc., Kohl’s Corp., Toys “R” Us Inc. and Best Buy Co are all opening on Thanksgiving to boost sales.

Sober Shopping is So Over
Haven’t you heard? Drinking is the new shopping? Or shopping is the new drinking? Or…okay. The point is now you get to drink when you shop.
Happy Free Shipping Day!!

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Bookworm [GALLERY]
It’s tough to buy gifts for the friend who loves to read. The choice should seem obvious, shouldn’t it? Buy a book. But what type of book? What has she read? What does he want to read? Hardcover or paperback? New or used? The questions are endless. And that’s before you even get into accessories. Are bookmarks too cliché? Will she even use them? Are all those gadgets really necessary?
Holiday Gift Guide: For The Health Freak [GALLERY]
She works out 6 days a week. She avoids the dessert buffet in the cafeteria. Her favorite hobbies on Facebook include running, yoga and lunges (and do not include brownies, TV marathons or couch time). She has magazine subscriptions to Shape and Self and her bookshelf looks like one you’d see in Jillian Michaels’ home library. And you have no freaking clue what to get her for the holidays.

We all have that friend, you know, the one who has the perfect outfit for every occasion. The one whose wardrobe makes your mouth water.

Holiday Gift Guide: For Your Guy [GALLERY]
‘Tis better to give than receive, right? Well, technically speaking. Except when it comes time to figure out what the hell you’re getting the man in your life this Christmas. And they say we’re hard to shop for!? Psh, please. Give me a couple Twizzlers and a three-karat diamond and I’m just peachy. (Sarcasm?)
