It is never easy finding the best gift for the loved ones in your life, but here are a few tips to try to help get you started.

1. The Mom: Shopping for your mom is never going to be easy. Sure she will try ways to stop you from getting her anything, for instance saying that you should save your money instead, but you know she's secretly hoping you'll get her something. A simple suggestion would be cook her her favorite dish, buy or make her a scarf, think of her favorite hobby or flower and get her things to add or start a collection.

2. The Dad: If you think your mother is hard to shop for don't even start on your dad. Gift cards are the way to go. Whether they be to Bass Pro, Oakley, or Dick's Sporting Goods, it doesn't matter. If you get him one to his favorite store you are in the clear.

3. The Brother: Pretty much either purchase a gift card for him as well, depending on his age, or just think about his interest or style and either get him an article of clothing he has been looking at or it doesn't hurt to ask his opinion on what he would like. Sometimes a nice shirt or a book will do the trick.

4. The Sister: Take her shopping with you. If she is older she will be hard to buy for or have specific items in mind. Take her to her favorite clothing store, book store, etc. Gift Cards would be the easiest thing, or you could make her something yourself. It would be more meaningful, you could even do some sort of DIY for her.

5. The Aunt: Almost repeat the same items as the mother and sister. Maybe get her a warm winter scarf, candle, or some sort of homemade item. Maybe write her a letter, do something simple and meaningful.

6. The Uncle: You could almost say the same for your Uncle as your dad, but honestly he should be easier. Give him a card, something meaningful or handwritten. Doesn't matter as long as it is simple, he is not expecting much. Perhaps get him a special ornament of something he is interested or fond of.

7. The Grandma: She is probably one of the most important members to get a gift for. You could get a special matching set of jewelry with her, or maybe do a special spa day, just the two of you. It does not matter really, as long as you are spending time with her. That could even be the gift, spending an entire day with her.

8. The Grandpa: A good book or something to occupy his time with would be a good idea. Something to keep him entertained and happy. Easy and simple.

9. The Best Friend: This should be one of the easier gifts to give. You know so much about this person it should be easy to pull something out of your sleeve to give him or her. Anything they're interested in, tickets to their favorite band, DIY, shopping with them and letting them pick their gift, or you could simply find something that could represent some metaphor or joke that means a lot to the two of you. Whatever works.

10. The Boyfriend: This is easy to. Something romantic and sappy. End of story.

11. The Teacher: Gift cards and candles are always a good bet, as well as food!

12. The Neighbor: A simple Christmas card will suffice, we're not wealthy here.
