Christmas time is finally here, and that means shopping, shopping, and more shopping. Although I love giving gifts to my loved ones, it can be frustrating trying to find good gifts for everyone. We all have those people in our lives who are hard to buy for or already have everything they could want/need. To help you out this holiday season, here are some of what I consider to be Christmas gift staples:

1. Blankets

Blankets are a great gift for anyone because honestly, you can't own too many blankets. No matter how much you're willing to pay, you can find a blanket that will be perfect for the person you're buying for. If you're afraid that a blanket isn't an adequate gift, personalize it! Certain stores, like Sam's Club, let you personalize a blanket with your own picture, text, etc. for a very reasonable price. I actually had my sister a Golden Girls blanket made recently, and she absolutely loved it!

2. Gift Cards

Here's the thing about giving gift cards, literally everyone wants a gift card, but most of us don't want to just come out and say, "I'd rather you get me a gift card than something I don't like." The key to giving gift cards is to make it personal by getting it to a store or restaurant that you know that person likes. For example, give a coffee lover a Starbucks gift card or give a reader a gift card to Books-A-Million. If you're stumped on where to get a gift card to, get one for Amazon!

3. Bath Stuff

Ladies love bath stuff. Men probably do too. You really can't go wrong with a nice basket of bubble bath, bath bombs, lotions, good smelling soaps, etc. Bath stuff is available practically anywhere, and there's a ton of brands and products to choose from.

4. Nice water bottle or thermos

I don't know about you, but I always have my water bottle or Yeti Rambler with me. It's worth investing in reliable drinkware, in my opinion. You can personalize a water bottle or thermos with decals, making an awesome gift.

5. Treats and goodies

I know it's kind of weird to give food as a gift, but everyone likes food, so why not? Candy, specialty cheese and sausage tray, jellies and jams, and holiday pastries all make good gifts. Personally, I would be happy to get some homemade cookies or a tin of chocolates. So, if you can't think of what to get someone who seemingly has everything, this is probably a great gift idea.
