Don’t
let the onslaught of Lexus commercials fool you into thinking more is more this
holiday season. You can brighten a loved one’s day with gifts that are
thoughtful, unique and affordable. Below
are just a few gift ideas that can make the holidays merry and bright, without
breaking the bank:
For the Kids
Hexbugs
might just look like little robotic cockroaches, but their unique path-finding
capabilities and their ability to right themselves if they get flipped over can
make them more fun to play with than you might expect. Their habitats can also be customized and
expanded upon endlessly, giving them a greater longevity than you might find
with some other toys. Hexbugs also appeals to a child’s imagination. Just don’t let the dog get too close to them! Available from Toys R Us.
$22
Movie
tie-in merchandise is sometimes just a cheap cash-in, but every so often
something just strikes you as a perfect gift for the lover of that particular
film. This replica of the futuristic hat
worn by Marty McFly in the second Back to the Future film is definitely one of
those! A great representation of one of
the most iconic fashion accessories in modern movie history, this is a
fantastic gift for fans of the film of all ages. Available from Entertainment Earth (out of stock but if you place an order it will be delivered when new stock arrives.
For Him
$79
For
the book lover in your family, consider investing in a Kindle. The price has never been lower and even the
least expensive models can hold thousands of full-length books. The Kindle can also support
subscriptions to digital versions of his favorite magazines. The sleek convenience of an e-reader can win
over even the most skeptical bibliophile but be warned: once you put this in his hands, you might
never get it out again! Available from Amazon.
Various
prices
While
it may be difficult to shop for clothes for the man in your life, a high
quality flannel shirt can be a pretty
safe bet. With a large number of
variations on color, pattern and cut you should be able to find at least one
shirt that appeals to him and you’ll probably find many more. Prices vary by size and availability of
course, but this can very easily be an inexpensive and fashionable gift to add
to any man’s wardrobe. Available
from Stetson.
For Her
$100,
$65
For
an affordable and personal gift for the holidays, you might consider a cross pendant or a crafted Star of David pendant. The pendants pictured above cost $100 and $65
respectively and many more are available
from Aston Royal. With a wide selection of beautiful pieces, you’re sure to find one that she’ll love. It’s a fantastic way to make this
particular holiday season last forever.
$50
The
holiday season can be stressful, busy and of course, cold. So what better way to help her unwind than a
nice, warm, relaxing foot massage? Give
her the gift of rejuvenation that will last the entire year and beyond. It’ll be one of the gifts that gets the most
mileage, that’s for sure and its toe-touch controls means she won’t have to
keep sitting up to make adjustments.
That leaves both hands free for a book…or a mug of hot chocolate. Available from Bed Bath and Beyond.
Whatever
you do this holiday season, take the time to pick out something you know he or
she will really love. It’s the season
for giving and you can make it unforgettable with just the right gift. Happy shopping!

The kindle is a great price, esp for someone who just wants to read only.
