WE SOLVED your holiday crush sitches YOU'RE WELCOME

Party plus ones, romantic gift exchanges, New Year's smooches...the holidays can be a ton of fun when you have a crush. But whether you're coupled up, stuck in "will-they-won't-they" or living your best single life, things are bound to get stressful.

So here's the ultimate present for your heart: advice on *all* your most confusing crush moments. Let's make this a holly jolly season full of good cheer (and no tears).

WHAT TO KNOW ...BEFORE YOU GO GIFT CRAZY

"Completely obsessing over getting the perfect present for my crush meant that I forgot to focus on what's important: spending time together and making fun memories." -Lindsay K., 15 

GET JOLLY: Your mom said it best: It's the thought that counts. Don't worry about buying extravagant gifts to show them you care. Instead, think about what they really enjoy and appreciate. Something creative and personal-like a gift card to that ice cream shop they love or a sticker collection that represents the inside jokes you two sharewill do the trick.

...BEFORE YOU LET SOCIAL MEDIA TAKE OVER

"I couldn't wait for my long-distance BF to visit my town over break. Every time we went on a date, I kind of obsessed over getting the perfect photos and videos for my Insta Story. I was so worried about capturing the memories that I wasn't really living in the moment." -Kaya M., 17
