Number 6 - Favorite Accessories
This is especially for people who spend a lot of time with different things and are either semi-or fully obsessed with something.

If your teenager holds his/ her cell phone dearer, then buy him neat accessories for that and rest assured, your thought shall be rewarded with endless gratefulness.

Number 5 - Gift Certificate
A hassle free and very convenient option! Also it, in reality, becomes the most personalized option. If you are confused and facing a choc-o-bloc as to what gift to buy or feel that your friend/relative/child/parents may not like your gift; then don't buy a gift. Simple! Well, that doesn't mean you don't get anything for the person. Just get your buddy a gift certificate from one of the places you think he loves to shop.

So, just go and grab them before they run out of it!

Number 4 - Holiday Package
If your parents have been busy for a longtime and you have overheard them say that they wish to get a break, then getting a vacation package for them would be an ideal bet. Even better, get a deal in which you all can go for a family trip together or they can take a few of their friends along. With the advent of the holiday season, all travel companies, hotels and airlines around the world start offering great deals. Don't let this chance slip away!

Number 3 - Personalized Gift Basket
Now this will involve a great deal of research and lot of dedication, but be sure that the result would be a smile as wide as the English Channel on the receiver's face. You can go the traditional way and gift your acquaintance chocolate or liquor baskets. A great choice will be filling a great looking basket with the most favorite candies, chocolates, treats and even beer or liquors. However, if you are ready to tread the less known path, then go for hobby baskets. If the person likes playing baseball, give him/her a basket with memorabilia, limited edition stuff and some new gear. If he/she loves collecting something, then fill in the basket with some new collectibles.

Number 2 - Collection Of Old Memories In A Scrapbook
Again, a very touching gift! Real tears will welt up your own eyes even as you compile it and by the time you will be finished, you may not want to gift the scrapbook away.

Even the coldest of hearts can melt away with such a gift. Get going and warm the heart of your beloved with this poignant gift!

And finally...

Number 1 - Very Personal Surprise

A popular trick is wrapping a gift in so many covers that by the time the receiver gets to the real gift, he imagines it's all in vain, only to get something very precious or beyond expectations. Ideal for people who wish to present some really great surprise! Well, then what are you waiting for - now is the time to arrange in a special surprise for that special someone.
