Gifts for Millennials

Like most of America, I’ve been on the look out for Christmas holiday gifts. The problem I’ve run into is that I have no idea what would appeal to an 8 year old, a 15 year old or a 60 year old. When I try to look up ideas it’s usually ideas created by an equally clueless (but well meaning) person. I don’t want to hear what “Helen” thinks I should be buying a teenager, I want a teenager to tell me. In light  of that, I’ve compiled a handy list of things you could buy the millennial in your life:

Birthday Wish List

Today is my 11/12ths birthday, which means my 25th birthday is only a month away. Despite getting made fun of for it, I will be sending out invites. Want to get a sneak peek?

It’s also about that time my mom starts asking what I want. The top of my list includes:

1. Books. Preferably cool copies of my favorites like Alice and Wonderland.

2. Stuff for my upcoming trip to Norway, like this Patagonia Sunshade Hoody. It provides 30SPF, which will come in handy with all the hiking.

3. A puppy. This might need to wait until I find a new place up in Minnesota.

4. Cute outfit items that can be worn for casual patio brunches with the girls. This Doting Dots Skirt is perfect.

5. Platform heels. These two years in Florida have gotten me jaded from flip-flops. Shoes like these Jeffrey Cambell Litas scream city life.

Overnight Website Challenge

I wanted to take some time out to highlight The Nerdery, an interactive development firm that occasionally does this thing called an Overnight Website Challenge. What they do is volunteer to spend 24 hours fixing up nonprofit sites, and whoa, do they put that time to good use. Here are some of my favorites:
