You've got your list...Now what?

OK, you've created your list of people you need to give gifts to...so now it's time to start listening to what clues they give as to possible gifts they'd enjoy.  It's even OK to ask outright what they'd like as a Christmas gift!  Be creative  see how they spend their time, what they enjoy doing, etc. and use that as a basis of your gift list.
I find that it is best if I stick with a theme and buy everyone a gift in that "theme" each year.   Last year everyone got a book as their stocking stuffer.  It make it very easy to shop (I even went to the used book store and found some NEW books at reduced prices).  One year everyone bought my husband a pair of under ware because he put it on his Christmas list.   It was hilarious to see him open each pair (prob more fun for us than him, however!)

Here are some themes that are easy to personalize for each recipient on your list and easy to keep in your price range:
Books, magazine subscriptions
Note cards/paper products
Calendars
Ornament
kitchen gadget or tools for the guys
craft or hobby items
movies, CDs, audio books
Hand crafted gifts
Sports memorabilia, tickets, apparel

Hints:  DO NOT buy weight loss or diet books, exercise equipment or housewares UNLESS the recipient has specifically requested these items!  LOL
