2.Buy tickets online for a upcoming play, dinner & show, concert, game, etc.
Print out page of ticket confirmation and put it in a nice Christmas card envelope.
Its an awesome gift because people tend to love it more than clothing or other junk you usually give.

3.Run to the grocery store, pick up chocolate morsels, butter, and cream.
Takes about five hours to make 200 chocolate truffles.
Easy to make them different flavors as well.
(Orange, Baileys Irish Cream, and Cinnamon Honey are the good with milk chocolate.
Peppermint, Khalua, and Matcha are good with dark chocolate.
Peppermint and matcha are fantastic with white chocolate.)
4.At least for men, my go-to is always a beard or personal grooming kit.
Its likely something that they wouldnt buy themselves, and many havent felt the exhilaration of a peppermint shampoo.
Men deserve a little pampering and self care too!
High-end, badass, toasty warm (if you live where it gets cold) socks.
They may meh at it early on, but will thank you later.
Maybe even very later, but itll be appreciated (a lot) eventually.
One of those copper chef/gotham steel punch in skillets.
Theyre fantastic, less than $20, endless use.
8.Cookie/brownie mix in a mason jar with instructions on a card and a bow.
Or a visa gift card.
it’s possible for you to do this as expensively or as cheaply as you want.
I love sharing things I love with other people, so thats a gift I love to give.
Personalize each one with a message or somesuch.
It feels thoughtful, but can also be done in less than an hour and is cheap.
A million calories of chocolate for about twenty quid.
Enough to distribute to everyone.
15.Here is what I do every year.
I go buy gift certificates for my favorite restaurants, and gift cards from Best Buy.
I then put them in Christmas cards with no name on them.
I keep some in the house and some in my car.
I quickly write their name on it and hand it to them.
Its worked out perfectly for me for years.
16.I make them an elaborate Christmas card with an etymology of their name.
Its always a hit and has more meaning than a gift card.

22.Nail place… Women will go wild over a free mani-pedi.

Want to improve yourself?
And you’ve got the option to get books everywhere.
Online, in store, thrift stores, little free libraries, everywhere.

Great for all occasions.
