The last of the gifts...

To "wrap up" the last of the gift ideas, here are a few to help with those "what the heck do I get" people.
  • Make a beer bouquet basket with assorted types of beer. Throw in some nuts for fun.
  • Give a family the gift of fun by purchasing passes for favorite zoos, state parks, or museums.
  • Outsource yourself! Give coupons for your special talents, such as a dessert of the month, a massage, child care, car detailing, or a homemade meal.
  • Give a favorite teacher a $5 or $10 Starbucks gift card. Trust me, she doesn't need another mug!
  • Pick up frames, mats, and canvasses at yard sales to display a child's artwork. Give to grandparents, the child's father for his office, or give to the child for their own room.
  • Make a mixed CD of favorite Christmas tunes. Everyone loves these!
  • Know a young married couple? Buy a recipe binder with sleeves and slip in some of your favorite recipes. *Hallmark carries nice binders and recipe cards.
  • Give a magazine subscription. If you do some searching online, you can purchase them inexpensively. *Family Handyman is a favorite in our house. We've given it to guys and gals alike!
