This year was a fail in the gift giving area. . . here are some thoughtful gifts to buy for next Christmas, or even New Years, perhaps birthdays!

1. A Recipe Book

A recipe book from the Hallmark store is the perfect gift for aunts, grandmas, and moms. With recipe cards to fill the sleeves that can be refilled as you go, this is a great way to compile family recipes. Put some of your favorite recipes in there!

2. Star Wars Koozie

For the Star Wars geek in your life, any paraphernalia from the movies is a great gift. Find these coasters at the Hallmark store as well!

3. Cat Sweater

For the feline, a Christmas sweater!

4. Cologne or Perfume

Have a favorite scent for the opposite gender? Buy it for someone close to you so you can smell it all the time!

5. Iphone Charger

Anyone who has an iPhone has gone through many chargers. They stop working, they have to be held in a certain position to charge, so on. You can't go wrong with gifting someone a new one!

Jenna Marbles' PopSockets

A PopSocket is an expandable grip that goes on the back of the phone that allows for better grip to prevent drops. It also works as a stand to set your phone upright on a table and you can wrap your headphones around them as well! They come in several different styles adorned with Jenna's dogs, Kermit and Marbles.

Happy shopping!
