If the thought of heading out to the mall gives you an instant headache because of those huge crowds of people, all of whom are also looking for the perfect gifts for everyone on their list, then it is okay, as many people feel the same way. However, with a little thought, you can get holiday gifts that will delight and impress.
If your list contains some young children, then you may want to consider making personalized stockings for them and either give it to them early or give it as a Christmas present. It does not have to be anything fancy; you can buy pre-made stockings and perhaps add their name in glitter or cross-stitch their name or add a design. Of course, with kids, you can never go wrong by filling the stocking with some sort of candy gift.
If you need a really unique gift for the hard-to-buy-for person, then consider giving them a piece of land in all of the 50 United States. There is a company that has been purchasing land in every state and then selling 1 square inch pieces of it! Wow, that is perfect for holiday gifts. It is completely legal, and you will be given a deed to the land, and this is a good idea for a corporate gift as well.
Along the same lines, consider a gourmet gift basket for your special person and include a certificate showing that you have named a star after them, which is very romantic. Of course, there will be some people that no matter what you decide to give, you will think it wasn’t the right thing, for any number of reasons. Usually, this thought is only in your mind, but that doesn’t make it any easier for you to find what you consider to be the perfect gifts for them.
Do you have teenage girls on your list? Consider putting together Christmas gift baskets that include, among other things, something like a subscription to a teen magazine or a gift certificate to a pottery studio where they can create their own masterpieces. If she is a little older, then consider giving her tickets to see her favorite band or a gift card for the local movie theater.
If your holiday gifts list includes something for a boy, then why not get a uniform that matches his favorite team, or if he is musically inclined, then how about a gift certificate for music lessons. Of course, if he is a teenager, then the concert tickets would be a great idea for him as well, or tickets to a sports event.
