Perfect Christmas Gifts

It's that time of year again. And your loved ones are expecting some nice gifts to open come Christmas morning. And we are not talking about a loaf of fruitcake or a coffee mug with their names on it! The following is a list of gift suggestions that will put smiles on their faces without depleting your Christmas bonus.


Nothing is more special than a gift that you made yourself. If you are good at baking, make several batches of your chocolate chip-oatmeal cookies. Package them in Christmas-themed boxes (usually available at the supermarket) and tie with red and green ribbons. The same if you are an excellent cook! That lasagna or pot roast will surely be well appreciated at the Christmas dinner table.


If you love to knit (though you have to do this well in advance or you might run out of time!), create sweaters, vests and socks in your loved ones' favorite colors!


Give a plant enthusiast a bonsai or a potted plant while a leash with matching pet outfit will surely please a dog lover.


The possibilities are endless. You just have to be creative. Think of your loved ones' interests and hobbies and start from there. There are just no excuse for a lousy gift. Who on earth would want to receive fruitcake this Christmas? Definitely not me!
