Do you have someone on your holiday list who is hard to buy for? I'm sure we all do. My daughter and her wife are so hard to buy for, since they are content creators and get so much given to them for free. Every year, and for birthdays too, we give them "experiences" rather than things. This year I am paying for their winter vacation down to the Caribbean, which includes me going too (so win-win all around). I pride myself on being a thoughtful and creative gift giver, and always try to pick the perfect gift. What kind of a gift giver do you consider yourself...

Sometimes the best gift for someone is a gift of charity or your time. I took my two girls for a spa day two years ago, and we really enjoyed being both together and pampered for a whole day. I've adopted zoo animals for my children and not only does it benefit the specific charity, it also taught my children the importance of giving back. Do you ever give gifts of either charity, or time spent together?

If the person on your list has a good sense of humor, sometimes the best gift might be easier than you think. But you definitely have to know your audience. I saw this book advertised online, and checked to see if it was a joke or real. It turns out it is real, and I know exactly who this book would be perfect for. Have you ever bought a humorous gift for someone?
