So it’s that time of year again to start thinking about Christmas Shopping! I know that this can be a stressful time for most of us, but it doesn’t have to be. Planning your gifts early can help you save money and remain stress-free. Remember, Christmas is not about spending tons of money, it’s about showing appreciation for your friends and loved ones. Don’t worry about the quantity of gifts, but the quality of them. It is always the thought that counts, not how much you give and how much it cost. Also, there’s nothing wrong with homemade gifts! If you can make it, then do so! It shows that you have put a lot of thought into the gift, and you truly care for the person. I have outlined below a couple of gift ideas for each important family member and for friends:
Mom:
- perfume
- handbags
- watch
- spa gift certificates
- portraits
- books
- pajamas
- ornaments
- scarves
Dad:
- books
- watch
- Gadgets
- Sweaters
- ties
- cologne
- sports equipment
- cuff links
Brother:
- video games
- movies
- sweaters
- hats
- cool headphones
Sister:
- clothes
- movies
- pajamas
- jewelry
- makeup
- books
- perfume
Grandparents:
- blankets
- portraits
- books
- perfume/cologne
- coffee mugs
- tea cups
- picture frames
Friends:
- gift certificates
- jewelry
- posters
- cds
- clothes
There are obviously tons of other gift ideas out there, so post your ideas to help makes these lists as long as possible!
Have more gift ideas? Post them as replies below!
Happy Shopping ☺

Maybe I'm just a sucker/cheap *******, but I love making my Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls and wrapping them all nice in a tin/basket.

I find food to a great gift around the holidays, especially stuff you make yourself.
For my boyfriend's housemates, I'm baking each of their names in chocolate chip cookies.

I think an actual gift would be better if you know and are close to the person. I just feel as if a gift card doesn't have any meaning behind it...
