Mother’s Day is just around the corner. It falls on March 31 in the UK this year, for those of you who forgot. Please don’t forget again, because you’ll make your mum sad, and no mum deserves to feel sad.

Your mother is a goddess. After all, she gave birth to you. And while finding a gift worthy of her can be hard, it’s not impossible. This is mushy as hell, but you should know by now that it’s not the money that goes into the gift — it’s truly the thought that counts. 

So, instead of giving her that same generic candle like always, take some time to find something that really represents your appreciation.  Read more…

Best gifts for people obsessed with true crime

TwitterFacebook

Everyone knows someone who’s a little bit morbid, fascinated by the terrible, weird, and often unspeakable crimes human commit, and the injustices within the legal system itself.

They’re supremely into podcasts like My Favorite Murder, Serial, Dr. Death, Dirty John, and Criminal. They’ve binge-watched docuseries like Making a Murderer, The Jinx, Evil Genius — all of them. Every time you go on holiday, they find the most notorious, possibly haunted house in town, and insist on a visit (or at least a sneaky drive-by peek).

What your favorite home assistant command really says about you

TwitterFacebook

No matter what kind of home assistant or smart speaker you’re on a first name basis with, chances are you’ve reached co-dependent status with it — because no one wants to physically do things when you can yell at a piece of plastic to do it instead. Playing actual board games? It’s not 1984. Jotting down things for your to-do list? Uh, pens are practically an endangered species. Knowing things? Please, there’s the internet for that. 

Our go-to commands get us through the day, but when you really think about it, your favorite requests actually reveal a lot about your character. Here, we take a closer look at what your choice commands could be saying about you.  Read more…

Best anniversary gifts for her: More than just diamonds (but also diamonds)

TwitterFacebook

Your anniversary: The one date other than her birthday that you are absolutely required to remember, and the date that will absolutely put you in the doghouse if you forget. While showing your love and appreciation year round is the most important, tangible gifts are just nice — and anniversary gifts can be crucial to keeping the mystery and romance alive.

The hard part: Being in a long term relationship means a lot of gifts over the years, and finding ways to keep gifts unique might start feeling difficult.

The easy part: Well, it’s pretty much a given that the longer you’ve been together, the nicer the presents get. Plus, anniversaries come with loose guidelines to at least give you a push in the right direction. There will be a traditional theme and a modernized theme for each year (you’ve probably heard of older couples celebrating a silver or a gold anniversary) but some of them probably shouldn’t be taken super literally. Just because your current anniversary’s theme is wood does not mean your wife wants a hand-carved rocking chair.  Read more…

Best gift ideas for teenage girls: Stuff she’ll actually want to show off on Instagram

TwitterFacebook

Warning: If you thought shopping for women in general was hard, just know that it gets harder. Try shopping for a teenage girl.

Juuls, Tide Pods, Converse (but only the white ones), and saying LOL (ironically) — yup, we’re talking about the ever-changing hell that is teenage girl trends. It can be tricky to choose a gift that she’ll like and use for longer than a month, but does that mean you throw in the towel and plop a gift card in an envelope? That’s basically code for “I don’t get you at all.” 

Instead of resorting to looking like an old, there is a way to show the teenage girl on your gift list that you “get them.” We’re talking music tech, phone accessories, room decor, artsy cameras, and more — all things to help her live her best life with her friends, branch out and be social, and help her figure out her passions. (Also known as gifts that won’t be met with an eye roll or her tweeting about you.)  Read more…

Grab the rectangular Instant Pot Gem (which is never the one on sale) for $21 off at Walmart

TwitterFacebook

Instant Pots can pressure cook, Instant Pots can make yogurt, Instant Pots can cook eggs, yadda yadda. We get it, they can do a lot of shit — but the smaller models seem to overlook meals that require baking, large roasts, and other similar recipes.

Sike — as if Instant Pot didn’t think of that. Their rectangular six-quart multicooker, the Gem, is your answer to the things a cylindrical Instant Pot couldn’t do, and it’s a rare $21 off at Walmart right now.

The Gem truly is a hidden gem in the Instant Pot line. Its siblings (mostly the Lux and Duo) seem to take up the spotlight most of the time, but that’s just because they’re the models on sale most often. We haven’t covered a discount on the Gem since Cyber Monday 2017, so we’re more excited than usual for this one. (The deal is insane and only lasts until Oct. 31, so don’t miss the window.)
