Definitive holiday gift guide: something for everyone
December 1, 2016
Books.
One of my friends has a holiday tradition–she gives holiday books each Christmas. I was lucky enough to get one. But I also have one you can give for holiday gifts. It’s called Gnome for Christmas and it’s written by my dear friend, Diane Stringam Tolley, whose engaging writing I love. So what would happen if an efficiency expert took on the North Pole? It’s a unique and charming tale and you could win one by commenting why you’d like to be Gnome for Christmas. That’s right. And really, anything by Diane is worth buying, check out all her books online.
This is such a great gift book that i hope you’ll give it to someone special in your life. Like I did. It’s written by the publisher of the Chicken Soup books and puts together all of the wonderful life advice from the series. Just wonderful to read!
For the caregiver you know. This is a definitive resource that they’ll thank you for. I mean that.
Something for everyone.
I love this site. Check it out, here. I guarantee you that you will find holiday gifts for every single person on your list, the gifts will be different than anything else they receive and you won’t have to spend a lot of money, either.
OMG, it can be so hard to buy for a guy. But I’ve got just the gift idea:
Hard Rivers: The Untold Saga of LaSalle Expeditionby Craig P. Howard II is a really interesting book that most men would love. It’s the story of the re-enactment –by canoe–of the more than 3,000 mile voyage from Montreal to the Gulf of Mexico that was originally undertaken in 1680. Some 16 teenagers and seven adults undertook the re-enactment in the mid 1970s and had massive adventures along the way. It’s a true story and a page turner. Something a little different for the guys in your life.
Carol!!! There’s so much here, I’m going to have to come back again and again. Thanks so much, this is a treasure trove of ideas and I’ve already decided to get about 4 of these things!
Oh I love the lip scrub idea! Especially with how dry my lips get during summer. I also loved the chicken soup books so I will have to check our your friends book. Hope you have a lovely Christmas break!
Books are definitely one of my favourite Christmas gift to give and to receive! I’ll have to check out that Hard Rivers book, I can think of lots of people who would love it
I love this post! I find it very difficult to find gifts for nieces in their late teens and early 20s. A DIY lip scrub is the perfect idea. I know they all want to take care of those luscious lips so, a lip scrub it is for them!
I love it when someone does all the research and we juts simply have to take action. Thank you for this definitive Holiday Gift Guide And for sharing at the Pit Stop

If you can’t find a gift for loved ones here, you aren’t really looking. Thanks for putting all of this together.
I love giving books but I worry about whether or not the person will actually read it. Thanks for linking up with us for the Friday 5.
Great ideas! Thanks for linking up today!!
