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
