gifts

My dad worked for the US Postal Service in Missouri for more than 3 decades. He never brought gifts home and now I understand why. There are rules about what postal carriers/mail men/mail women can accept as gifts and I'm genuinely surprised at the list of do's and don'ts.

Do you know someone who just loves anything and everything Missouri? If you do then I found the perfect gift for you to buy them this holiday season, an all Missouri Gift Box!

Whether you're home for the Holidays, stuck inside with your roommates and away from family or just bored on Christmas day, I have a list of eight super fun games you can play with family and friends to make this Holiday season feel a little less miserable.

If your Facebook feed is drowning in negativity, outrage, and idiocy like mine is, consider this your digital palate cleanser for the day.

Mother's Day is always on the second Sunday in May, which means that it is coming right up! If you haven't yet picked out a card or gift, it's not quite time to panic, you can still find something in time. I've been a little bit stumped on what to get my mom this year. I always thought Dad was harder to buy gifts for than Mom, but I've started to reconsider that position.

It used to be that giving a gift certificate (before gift certificates became gift cards) as a Christmas present was frowned upon. A lot of people felt like gift certificates were something people only gave when they were too lazy to come up with anything else, or ran out of time before finishing their Christmas shopping. But do people still look at it that way?

My son will graduate this May as a member of the Class of 2013. We are in the process of picking out schools and carving out a future path for him. These seem like easy things to do compared to picking out a graduation gift.

Every year I am asked the same question:  “What do you want for your birthday?"
