how about something like a gym membership, gift cards or gifts from a small business?
My gift idea…uh…yeah. I’ll get back to you on that. I think we’re doing the Kindle Fire for the kids. To share, yes. Four kids can share a Kindle…right? What’s wrong with that?

If we are talking about Amazon, then it has the best deals on perfumes! I usually try one at a store and just check the price on Amazon while standing in the store and 9 out of 10 times, its way less!

3. trouble/clue/perfection (is that the name) — board games to play with my kiddies
there was another, but i can’t remember what it was. LoL
Any books by author Charles Martin. Look in the Christian section at your local bookstore or online. Chasing Fireflies is my favorite.
Gift idea … Blankets. The soft kind you cuddle up with.
A cute gift set from Bath and Body Works

I plan to make some of my gifts this year, and for a few of my friends I hope to make some monogram greeting cards! Customized to their taste (and name), inexpensive, and practical! Love it
Books are always a great gift. And I love that my niece has given me a list of books she wants for Christmas.

My gift idea is to pick out some local food goodies for out-of-town relatives. I live in CA while most of my family lives in Ohio, and I love getting them special coffee from local roasters or local olive oil that isn’t available where they are. And for the cheapest of gifts – Meyer lemons from the tree in my backyard!

I think everyone should have one of those scraper/paddle attachment things for their Kitchen Aid.
With the kids all grown now, they kindly accept my hand-made offerings. Plus I add some cash to let them pick out something that they need for their homes. Local craft bazaars are wonderful places to find unique stocking stuffers.
Here’s an idea: Avocados! Send a gift box or order subscription to fresh hand-selected avocados shipped direct from the family farm. Check out the http://www.CaliforniaAvocadosDirect.com . Go Green for the Holidays!

Great list,
and since I’m quite forgetful sometimes I’m still surprised at the endings.
I have the igo charger and LOVE it
gift idea: favorite movies on DVD are always a huge hit with me, as I don’t watch a lot of TV like normal people, I don’t sit and relax. I love to cook and bake with favorite movies on they don’t need 100% of my attention
Another great gift idea wireless blue tooth headphones, they sound great to me

For the fashionista, Kate Spade Taxi Mittens
For anyone–a listography journal! The perfect way to keep track of your life in lists.
Enjoy! Hope that helps.

I love to give homemade gifts like Christmas-themed cake pops, caramel, or cookies.
For my grown daughter who’s always asking me to bake her favorite cake, I put together a kit for her to make her own: a bundt pan, cake mix, pudding mix, spatula, and the recipe. She loved it!
I’ve also given Starbucks gift cards to the caffeine-addicted, Kindle gifts cards for the e-reader fans, and Lowe’s gift cards for new homeowners. Those always seem to go over well.
Good luck with your shopping!
Hugs,
Pam

I want those gloves! I’m a last minute so shopper I haven’t thought about it too much, unless you’re talking about stuff that I want..then we can talk all day!
This year we’re giving books. Lots of books. lotion, trains, and some cool looking weather predicter things I found in a magazine!
I’m a fan on FB!
It may seem impersonal, but last year my MIL gave me an amazon gift card…It was wonderful! I bought all sorts of books for my kindle! (Shhhh, I think I bought fondant and cookie cutters too!)
magazine subscriptions!

i LOVE the ice cream maker…Lord knows i need one. other ideas though? maybe a donut pan? i never really post about donuts on my blog since everyone has them but i love the pan and we have healthy donuts maybe 3 times a week!
I think baked goods are always a great gift. This year instead of a gift my sister and I will be spending extra time together. I think that is the best kind of gift!

I have only just begun my shopping…sigh! I have some ideas though. Two that stand out to me as awesome gifts for this year are the Split Decision Pie Pan (lift and serve option too) – its a pie pan that has 2 halves to make 2 different pies – love it – they get 2 pie flavors, 2 recipes and this beautiful pan
Alos – GENIUS ( for my husband) called Inkling – Its a pen and a thing you clip on your paper…what you draw/scethch on paper is made digital and goes on your computer – he will love this. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Amy and good luck with the holidqay shopping!
Here’s a grift idea – I did this a few years ago for coworkers. I made “cookie mix in a jar” and paired that with a decorative cookie plate. The mason jars were inexpensive – it was a snap to make an assembly line to fill the jars with ingredients, and I already had festive fabric and ribbon to tie around the jar and attach the recipe instructions. I think folks appreciate home-crafted gifts!

My favorite gift I’m giving is for my mom, she’s getting a pizza slicer/rocker and a homemade pizza dinner by yours truly.
How about a special membership, perhaps to a shooting range, or classes (like painting, sculpting, or other artsy type) at a local community center or school?
How fun! This year I made homemade vanilla, vanilla sugar, and vanilla honey. Bought several high quality loose leaf teas, and plan on putting together a basket of goodies for the tea lovers in my family.

When I’m giving a gift to someone, I think about what they’ve given me in the past. I always have a tendency to buy people things I like, so I figure most people probably do the same thing. One of my favorite gifts to get my girlfriends is a cookbook and either an apron, pot holders, or tea towels. It’s small but it’s the gift that keeps on giving as they make recipes from the book.
I really like getting gift cards to my fav shops: DSW, iTunes, Ann Taylor Loft, New York & Co. A great family gift is a game: Mad Gab, Blokus, Apples to Apples, Connect 4. Another great gift idea to do as a family is to do something together for charity: Angel Tree gifts, donate to a shelter, gift a gift to troops overseas, etc.
Great list, those smart tip gloves look great! One thing on my list this year is the new Winnie the Pooh movie for the kids. We saw it a few weeks ago and loved it!

Goodness I need some ideas as well. One thing I’m looking at getting M1 is this stand from Ikea. Kinda suits a hip teenager don’t you think? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80100190/
There are so many beautiful scarves this season, pick one!
I think homemade mixes are a great gift idea–one of my oldest friends likes to give hot cocoa mixes in decorative envelopes, complete with crushed peppermint and marshmallows.

Gift ideas…… maybe nail polish? Cute gloves + a matching hat? A cozy fleece blanket with the person’s initials? Or absolutely any kind of chocolate. : )
Magazine subscriptions make a nice gift.
I have now given this to my sister, sister-in law, and mom…it is amazing!! Scrapes the mixing bowl so you don’t have to stop to use a spatula!! I recommend for any home baker
http://www.amazon.com/Design-Beater-5-Quart-KitchenAid-Tilt-Head/dp/B0015TMHFG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321975508&sr=8-1
LOVE the power extender idea. My man is on the road a lot so this is something great for him!
I’m making a lot of DIY gifts this year to save on costs. I’m hoping to make a few Wine Mulling buckets (homemade mulling spices, bottle of nice wine, few glasses, maybe some cinnamon sticks). As well, homemade preserved citrus for stocking stuffers. Who doesn’t love those things?
Great ideas!

The best news that I got this morning was that Neil Diamond is coming to my parents’ town in June. It basically means that my Christmas shopping for them is done.
Otherwise, at the top of my list is a pair of running shoes and pretty earrings from Swarovski.

My son, Jason, showed me something cute on Amazon yesterday. search on turtle constellation and you will see these animal/night light combinations that are battery operated, The light stays on for 45 minutes and then shuts off and they project the night sky onto the ceiling. Sounds pretty cool and has a high customer rating. The past several years I’ve done most of my shopping on Amazon.

Here are some gift ideas that I’ve been putting together on my Pinterest
http://bit.ly/vEjTfe <– they're all under £30, cause my family like to give small treats
I also really love the 'brownie mix in a jar'-type home made ideas. Lovely!x
A great gift idea is a rice maker. I use mine all the time and love it.
How about an Ipad2!!
I like She wears many hats on Facebbok!!
I’m all about handmade gifts – knitted scarves, potholders or beanies. Other handmade items great for gifting are cookies in a jar or soup in a jar, vanilla extract, candles, or even bake some cookies and put them in a tin. The possibilities are endless!
I’m getting my family gift cards to amazon and iTunes. We all use our iPods, iPad’s and Kindles to read, listen to music, watch movies and shop so it works out well!
I’m fond of giving away gifts from my kitchen…spiced nuts, quick breads, cocoa mixes, cookies, candies, etc.
I think a gym membership or a magazine subscription is a good gift idea.
I liked you on facebook.
One nice gift I’ve given is a pretty wooden cheeseboard with a small gift certificate to a cheese shop. You could take that same idea and apply it to other foods, like wineglasses or a wine cork and a gift certificate to a wine store.
Hmmm…gift ideas…compression socks for a runner, The Best New Recipe cookbook for the chef in the family, a vintage locket with pics of the grandkids inside it for grandma, a family membership to the Western NC Nature center for $62 gets you free or discounted entrance to AZA zoos and aquariums *AND* ASTC science centers (usually you only get one or the other and membership costs more) a really great deal and you do not have to go to the WNCNC to benefit…but it is a nice place!

I’ve been struggling with ideas this year too. I’m trying to avoid a bunch of toys and stuff that the kids will be able to play with even years down the road so I’m trying to do more games instead even if still on the youner scale – cooties, chutes and ladders, perfection, maybe operation. I’m not sure what else. I still have a long way to go before I’m done. Only just started today haha.

Hmm I like giving and receiving Gifts in Jars. They’re super easy, gives them something to do, and are a tad home-made. Other than that I would say classes if you know that they are wanting them. For example, I would not take it as an insult if my hubby gave me a certificate for a cooking class or a Wilton’s Cake Class…or wait would I?
I like to visit flea markets and antique stores to find pretty cup and saucer sets for girlfriends.

What about a spa day – manicure, pedicure, massage. I always like gift cards to my favorite restaurants too!!
Gift ideas: put together a gift baske using a wicker basket or a cute plastic basket: add movies (Bugs Bunny classics- the good classic ones or Pink Panther or any other good classic)(for adults pick a good classic depending on whether they like mysteries, dramas or sitcoms), add some beverages (bottled colas, flavored drinks, or alcohol), add food (candy, Goldfish, flavored jelly beans, etc.), add some microwave popcorn or Jiffypop. You could put in some plastic glasses and some napkins. They also have plastic and paper popcorn containers you can buy (saw them at Target). Plastic wrap it and put a big bow on it. Also for adults how about a foot massage unit or a gift certificate for a massage- who wouldn’t love to have one of those after the holidays

a great gift idea would a laptop.. there are SO many sales going on right now!
The Red Carpet Manicure Starter Kit with Portable LED Light from ULTA is my gift idea. I’m getting each of my three sister-in-laws that for X-mas and “strongly” hinted to my husband that I want one too. That way we can all do our own gel manicures at home.

I suck at gift giving.
Gift cards, Accessories for e-readers (covers and screen protectors), and I actually picked up a couple buffets w/warming tray at Target for only $27 buckaroos for all the ladies in the family that cook. Good luck with your shopping!!

A camera makes a great gift. Because that’s what I bought myself for Christmas last night.

Anything a person wouldn’t normally buy for themselves is a good idea
I think books, movies, movie tickets, etc are all good gifts. I also think gift cards (as tacky as people seem to think they are) are GREAT gifts because the person gets to buy WHATEVER they want! You just need to know where they like to shop!

A great gift idea would be some baked goodies. Home made bread or cookies are always a hit.
Homemade gifts from the heart are always appreciated.

I’ve found board games to be a great gift – ones that work well with 2 players and also with 4 or 5. Agricola, for example, was a great gift.
Yesterday we were all looking at the black Friday ads….and several of the male family members said they liked the universal phone charger that you lay your phone on. 29.99 @ radio shack!

I’m giving entertainment gifts this year – like a family membership to the zoo, tickets to a show, museum tickets. Things that will give my family and friends a chance to relax this upcoming year. (It also sves buying something you’re not sure they’ll like!)
A personalized necklace would be a lovely gift for any Mommy (with her child(ren)’s names on it). Lots of cool jewelry like this can be found on etsy.
I always go for gift cards — maybe a nice dinner and then something personal added such as an offer to babysit that night

We’re thinking of getting gift cards to a really nice restaurant for my in-laws, one that they enjoy. We don’t get to see them that much and thought they might appreciate that.
My mom always enjoys a piece of jewelry, so I’m thinking about picking out something for her. I’m also blowing up a photo that I took for her. It’s from Green Gables when we visited there.

I make all of my gifts for Christmas so that’s what’s on my mind for gift giving. I’m making both coffee (I call it Faux Kahlua) and cranberry liqueurs and curing and smoking bacon. Actually both are in process now and I’ll be done next week. So much easier than shopping or making dozens upon dozens of cookies!
a small piece of granite that you can you as cheese board
A scarf with a pin that can be worn with/without the scarf.

I have a little guy who is 3. He’s suddenly very into puzzleswe only have a couple, so he will be getting some for christmas. They are thankfully cheap so I can make sure he has a variety. I like to keep his mind and hands busy and we can do puzzles together during snowy days.

When I’m having trouble thinking of a gift for someone I usually just go with some type of small luxury that they might not treat themselves too. Nice pajamas, cozy slippers, fancy candles and bath products. I also give people tickets to shows or concerts as gifts a lot, and I like to give couples restaurant gift cards so they can have a nice date night.
An assortment of all the essential kitchen spices in home decorated spice jars is a gift I am going to attempt this year!

For your wine enthusiasts at heart, some wine stores offer a cool ‘wine club’ month memberships. Always a good idea!
Magazine subscriptions are always a good gift!
Well, my gift ideas at the moment are homemade bean bags for a bean bag toss game. (This game is a matter of life and death in our family). Also, I’m thinking homemade laundry detergent, truffles, a pie plate for my Mom, and tea leaves in spades for my brother. (I never thought in a million years that my brother would ask for tea for Christmas. Weird).
A good gift could be a sewing machine I need one!

Cookbooks! I like that I just saw someone (a chef on a show) say to give a gift of a cookbook, but buy the dish
a recipe from the book is made with and make it and give someone the book and the dish with a recipe you made
from it.

My gift idea is a nice hand balm (I like Badger Balm, but I know there are a lot of good options out there). It’s practical in the winter and will get used up, but it’s fun to get as a gift because people may not buy themselves the nicest option. Just watch out for allergies.
