Ah, "The Nutcracker:" It's one of those things that just kind of makes you think. How, exactly, did a ballet about a girl who gets a magical nutcracker from her crazy eyepatch-wearing uncle, who then travels with said nutcracker to what's basically Candy Land become so ingrained in holiday tradition?

The holidays are here and you know what that means. Aside from the obligatory family gatherings and diet-wrecking feasts, exchanging gifts is another tradition in which we all partake. While receiving gifts is almost always nice, searching for gifts to give can be a little challenging.

There's nothing quite like getting a matching tattoo with your best friend to prove to the world that your friendship is forever. In fact, even stars like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin have matching heart tattoos. (Perhaps a nod to the old-school BFF heart necklaces that many of us rocked back in the day?)

From acne to discoloration, if it's a skin-related issue, there is a tea tree oil-based solution. Very few ingredients are as versatile as tea tree oil. This skin-saving superstar can both dry up blemishes and hydrate skin when used alongside the right ingredients. Oh, and did we mention it has a fresh, intoxicatingly crisp scent?

Eyeshadow palettes are how I meditate. When I look at them, a sense of calm comes over me and I could stare at them forever. I'm not going to lie, it gets a little weird in Sephora. So what better inspiration for decorating my bedroom than the gorgeous blend of colors in my current favorite: the sexy, sultry Troublemaker palette, $17.97. Urban Decay claims that the shades are "perfect for scandalous nights." We'll see.
