For those who have everything: A guide to getting gifts for everyone on the list!

It’s that time of year again!  It’s time for families to gather, meals to be cooked and shared, and time to give and receive gifts!  With this time of year comes the stress and fun of shopping for friends, neighbors, and loved ones.  Some may even be looking for gifts for bosses or coworkers.  Knowing what to get for everyone on the list can be one of the biggest challenges of the season.  What to get, when to get it, and where to get it is something on everyone’s mind.  Here are some tips to help find something for everyone on the list, even for those who have everything!

Give Personalized

In recent years personalized gifts have risen in popularity.  There are only so many cookie sheets or scarves you can have and use, but customized gifts tend to stick around.  How many plain or generic aprons or hot pads do you have in your kitchen?  How many more have you gotten rid of because you had too many?  Personalized gifts, though, tend to mean more and stick around longer.

Think Unique

There are only so many socks you can have in your sock drawer!  How many of us have received unique, thoughtful gifts that became unexpected treasures?  One year our family received a personalized wood house sign which everyone still loves!  Thoughtful, unique gifts can, and often do, go a long way.

Go Simple

Some of the best gifts to give and receive may not be super expensive.  A gift basket with a small cutting board, a block of cheese, and a sausage is a small, relatively inexpensive, simple gift that most people will love!  Thoughtful and meaningful gifts don’t have to be extravagant or expensive to be meaningful.

These were just a few tips that have helped us when getting our gifts ready this season.  What tips do you have that help you when looking for the perfect gift?  Let us know in the comments below!
