We love blind book dates almost as much as we love themed book blind dates. If you've never done one of these blind dates before, it's when you buy a book based on a few details instead of knowing the full synopsis. This themed option is a great option for any book lover in your life.

Mocktail Party

There are a variety of reasons why someone might choose to be booze-free at the moment, but that doesn't mean they have to miss out on all the fun.

Printique Centerfold Calendars

Custom calendars are an extra-special gift idea since you can fill them with photos from the year. This is one gift my family always gets my dad, and flipping through the pages is one of my favorite things to do every Christmas! When you add pics from weddings, birthdays, and trips, they almost become like a time capsule.

Grab a notebook for any art lover (or bullet journaler) in your life. There are tons of ways you can make this gift special.

Leave at least a few empty pages so they can add their art too!

Dolfin Earl Grey Tea Dark Chocolate Bar

As much as we love Hershey's bars, we can't resist fancy dark chocolate when we see it. This bar has the earthy, romantic notes of Earl Grey tea, making it the perfect pick for anyone who'd rather be in London. You might as well grab two because you're going to want to keep one for yourself!

The Atlas of Christmas

Whether your gift recipient loves to learn about different cultures around the world or just never stops reading, this is a fun and unique gift pick that will peak their curiosity. Plus, it will make a super cute coffee table book.

Angelina opened up about her feelings for her family while chatting about her new movie Maria with Good Morning Americaon November 21, 2024. Host Michael Strahan asked Angie about if there's anything she loves as much as her character loves singing, and she replied that it's her "motherhood."

"It’s my happiness. You can take everything else away from me," she said. "I could — nothing else matters."

When asked about her sons' involvement in Maria, Angelina explained that despite their involvement behind the scenes, they're very uninterested in a life in the spotlight. She said, "None of my children want to be in front of the camera. They're quite private."

Angelina elaborated, "Shiloh's extremely private. They weren't born with privacy, so I hope they can have that."

This interview comes after Angelina and Knox attended the Governor's Awards with her on November 18, 2024. His rare appearance shocked so many — including Brad. Daily Mail reported that Pitt found the timing "suspicious."

The source said, "'She is trying to get under his skin after his recent win and using Knox to do so is odd. Knox wants nothing to do with Hollywood and has no communication with Brad."

Despite the weirdness, the source also said, "He [Brad] believes that, in time, his children will come back into his life."

How many kids does Angelina Jolie have?

Angelina Jolie has six children. She adopted Zahara, Maddox, and Pax, and later gave birth to Vivienne and Shiloh. She shares her children with Brad Pitt, most of whom aren't on good terms with him at the moment.
