1. Nail polish is always a great idea! Especially if you don't really know the person you're shopping for too well. You can simply look at their nails every once in a while, and run to a drug store to snatch either a bright colour if you think they will like it, or play it safe with a neutral colour.
2. Scarves! Everyone loves a warm and cute scarf. This season infinity scarves are especially hot, and you can grab them at several places for a reasonable price. Just make sure that you don't manage to find the ugliest one in the vicinity.
3. A subscription to a magazine! Whether it's National Geographic or LOULOU, the person will surely enjoy the gift.
4. Try something personal! Sometimes they can be the best presents. If you have a really close friend, try finding a great picture of the both of you, decorate the frame all pretty-like, and give them a thoughtful present!
5. Gift cards, gift cards, gift cards! They can be a really great present. Buying things for people can often be a waste of money if your gift-receiver doesn't really like the present you gave them or if it doesn't even fit them. Sometimes, though, they can suck a bit - you can sometimes look a bit cheap. But add an awesome card with it, and you're clear!
6. Pamper them! Whether it's a self manicure kit, or a redeemable gift card for a free pedicure, they will be sure to love it. (A great gift is the Airplus Spa Value Pack - I've already got it for a few on my list!) Even some hair treatment ideas would be a unique and much-appreciated idea.
7. If your wallets are swollen, then a great idea is a guitar! I know that everyone would be ecstatic if they tore up their wrapping paper to reveal a guitar. Some places sell guitars for pretty cheap, too! Just look around, and try to find the guitar that is optimal for your receiver!
8. Chocolates are always a cheery gift. You can buy the assortment boxes, and the lucky person who gets it will have no trouble eating them up.
Good luck, and try not to break the bank this year!
