Align Items to Bottom with Flexbox
Flexbox allows you to align items along the cross axis. To align items to the bottom of a container, set align-items: flex-end on the flex container.
Set display: flex on the container.
Use flex-direction: row (default) for horizontal layout or column for vertical layout.
Set align-items: flex-end to align all items to the bottom of the container.
Individual items can override this using align-self if needed.
