Something for everyone
A smattering of ideas for those on your list
from young to old.

Camera
Looking ahead at what’s to come in 2019, make sure your
loved one doesn’t miss a moment. For high-definition memories
that will never fade, invest in a quality
camera. For the teens and young
adults on your list, consider a fun
Polaroid camera complete with the
old-school film – vintage is in! [C]
9. Which Christmas song

Cuban Missile Crisis?

Games
There’s nothing quite like a good, old-fashioned board game.
Though cellphones are providing more and more entertainment
options, there’s no shortage of new board and card games out
there for the whole family. [F]
Thinking outside of the box
There is quite literally a subscription box for everything these
days. Dinner? It’s served. Work clothes? Athletic attire? Done
and done. Pet treats and toys? Purrfect. Adventures to discover?
You bet. You can get subscription boxes for neck ties, shaving
supplies, handbags, stationary, beauty essentials, snacks, vitamins,
books, kids’ toys and so much more. Talk about a superfun,
“out-of-the-box” gift! [E, N]
Wireless speaker system
Wireless home speaker systems such as Amazon Alexa and
Google Home are becoming more and more popular. Not only
do they work hands-free and on command, but they also can do
things such as control your lights or order you another package
of paper towels. [A]

10. Which Christmas
song is also known
as “The Quest of
the Magi”?
Something personal
Spice up any gift by adding a personalized touch to it, such as
an embroidered name or monogram. This can be added to purses,
shirts, baby clothes, pajamas, wine glasses, tumblers,
etc. Or, consider surprising your loved one
by having a hand-crafted scrapbook professionally
made with their photos and memories displayed in
chronological order. [G]
Something for their favorite hobby
There are all kinds of cutting-edge accessories
out there to suit people’s hobbies. Give them a gift to show you
recognize their interests. For example, for the yoga-lover in you
family, consider Yoga Paws, gripped socks and gloves that take
the place of a yoga mat. They’re perfect for yoga on the go! [K]

An instrument
For the right-brained person in your life, “wow” them with a
cutting-edge instrument like the Jammy. The Jammy is a portable
electric guitar that can be taken on the go, easily fitting into backpacks
or a carry-on bag. No more clunky guitar cases! [I]
Their own personal domain
Imagine the kids waking up on Christmas morning and being
stunned when they look out the window. Give them the jungle
gym of their dreams. A castle, pirate ship or space shuttle… a
place where their imaginations can run wild through endless
hours of fun. [L]
