You really love these people, and Christmas is the time to say, "I really thought about you, your interests, what you have/want, and what would make you smile from ear to ear." And my guess is that a gift card doesn't really do that. But if they really want a gift card, or need it, I guess go ahead, but try to be unique when you can. Here are some unique Christmas gift ideas for different people. I hope you find the perfect gift here or get inspired, and use these as a starting point in your creative gifting process.

My last great suggestion for finding Unique gifts, is to take part in Small Business Saturday. Check out this link to find HUNDREDS of small businesses that are participating. You will find unique gifts, savings, and will be able to help a "neighbor". What is more giving than that? http://amex.co/17R21jT
