23 unrealistic stocking stuffer gifts just for millennials

Please, and thank you.

Navigating through life as a twenty something this day and age can be the most exhausting, confusing and rewarding experience for a young person.

Whether you've just graduated from college, searching for a new job or just trying to adult, being a millennial is hard work - especially when you're blamed for practically everything wrong with the world.

In order to spread some holiday cheer, we've compiled 20+ (unrealistic) stocking stuffer gifts to get the ambitious millennial in your life.

1. A secure job.

How many emails do we have to send? We've changed our cover letters 15 times!

2. An end to student loan payments.

The only thing worse than college tuition.

3. A lifetime supply of Netflix passwords (but we can live with a endless subscription).

Netflix is the only loyal thing we have in our lives. Let's all binge together!

Via Giphy

4. And who doesn't need emotional stability?

Just admit it: we've all had one or two or three breakdowns this week.

Via Giphy

5. A healthy relationship.

Is there such a thing? If so, we want it.

6. Money for rent, clothes, car payments, etc.

As youngsters, we weren't too fond of receiving cash instead of toys for the holidays, but we'd appreciate it and you so much more now. Thank you.

7. Former President Barack Obama to be president again.

We have no idea what the new guy is doing in the White House. Come back, please?

Via Giphy

8. Diversity and inclusion in media.

Because we're tired of seeing the same three people playing the same three roles.

Via Giphy

9. Vine to come back from the grave.

R.I.P. Vine, you'll forever stay in our hearts.

Via Giphy

10. A Twitter edit button.

Yes we know we typed "their" instead of "they're." Now how can we change this before the next Twitter debate?

Via Giphy

11. A social media block button just for your nosy family.

We just want to vent on our statuses for a moment, Aunt May. Yes, we miss you too.

Via Giphy

12. And speaking of family, a limit to their never-ending questions about your relationship status, school, or work.

Please, stop. We want answers just as much as you do.

Via Giphy

13. An endless supply of wine.

In this case, however, the limit does not exist.

Via Giphy

14. A crush to text you back.

It's been exactly three minutes, why haven't they replied yet?!

Via Giphy

15. A private concert from Beyoncé.

A concert from the Queen herself: need I say more?

Via Giphy

16. An end to the economy blame game toward millennials.

Millennials are ruining small businesses. Millennials are lazy. Millennials are self-entitled. Millennials are sick of hearing about it.

Via Giphy

17. A lesson in budgeting and saving by Terry Crew's character Julius Rock from Everybody Hates Chris

Because all we've ever been taught about finances is that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Via Giphy

18. A separate television station dedicated to old Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows and movies

Lizzie McGuire was the first one to have a Bitmoji. Don't fight me.

Via Giphy

19. The motivation to get up and exercise

Does running to the pizza place before it closes count?

Via Giphy

20. World peace would be nice, too

How about this concept?: a world where everyone accepted each other's differences and actually got along. Hm.

Via Giphy

21. An end to mansplaining

Our tolerance for this has significantly decreased. Just stop.

Via Giphy

22. A decent sleep schedule

It's either we're in bed by 9 p.m. or awake at 5 a.m., there's no in between.

Via Giphy

23. And an avocado on a toasted slice of bread

Delicious.

Via Giphy

It's a hard knock life. Happy Holidays!
