Presents are always appreciated, but gifts that show the thought put in them are remembered! Need ideas
Photos
Would your friend like a framed photo of the two of you on your last vacation together? Go through your old photo albums and see if there are any gems there for members of your family. A copy of an old photo and a new frame is a very thoughtful gift.
Baked Goods
Never underestimate the power of baked goods. To some, baking is a secret art form unknown to them. If you have a kick-butt recipe that everyone raves about - go for it!
Books
Books are great gifts for the bookworm, the occasional reader or the enthusiast. From novels to biographies, cookbooks to do-it-yourself guides, there is something for just about everyone.
Christmas Ornaments
Ornaments are great gifts for those who are just starting out. Your gift will be remembered year after year.
Movies
Giving the gift of someone's favorite movie tells them just how well you know them.
Plants
Know a new homeowner? How about giving them a pear tree? Is there someone on your list who likes to cook? Would they enjoy a container filled with oregano, rosemary and thyme?
Charity Donation
A donation to a loved one's favorite charity beats out a knickknack any day.
