Has anyone, other than myself, found themselves needing to buy a gift for someone and not have one single idea of what to buy? I've only just realized I can find great gift ideas like jewelry online. Until now, there seemed to be so many options out there but nothing ticked the box for me! I know a lot of people decided to go down the personalized route, and I don't blame them, it's perfect, and the best thing is, it can be for anyone, of any age, any time! My friend told me she received a personalized moon lamp (Mondlampe Personalisiert in German) from her boyfriend and it was the sweetest gift. The best thing about these gifts is they can suit any recipient, even the hardest people to buy for. However, when you are deciding on gifts, the likes and dislikes of the recipient should be kept in mind. Thus, be it personalised photo keyrings, or photo t-shirts, you must be aware of what they like. And if you're struggling to think of gift ideas, these might do the trick. For more examples there are things like aprons, blankets, socks even Photo Wall Art Prints. If you're thinking of something a little different however there is still hope for you. If you find yourself in a sticky situation this Christmas Season, you might want to pay a visit to gifts.com!

I just love how you can shop by recipient; men, women, teens, kids, babies, and pets. Then, you can narrow the search even more by shopping by personality. For example, choose women under the recipient tab, then choose to shop by personality and you find all these choices; The Super Mom, The Hipster, The Domestic Diva, The Frugalistic, The Achiever, The Trendanista, The Natural Woman, The Urban Sophisticate, The Thinker, The Adventurer, and The Country Clubber.

Here's one really cool idea that I found when searching through The Domestic Diva category. It's a Create-A-Cookbook gift certificate. It lets the recipient use their All Recipes.com favorite recipes to create their very own custom cookbook! This is just one of many great ideas!

And maybe you need to buy for a Senior Woman. There are several choices within that category also; The Country Clubber, The Domestic Diva, The Thinker, The Super Grandma, or The Active Retiree. You can choose personalities within Teen Boys, Teen Girls, Senior Men, so on and so forth.

When surfing the site a little bit this morning, I also discovered their blog, gift rap, a shopping blog of cool gift ideas brought to you by the gift gurus at gifts.com.

There are literally thousands of gifts ideas on this site and on their blog, so check it out! I hope it helps someone find a gift for that “hard to buy for” person on your Christmas List.
