Creative Gifts for Any Occasion

If you’ve got time and talent, there is nothing more treasured than a handmade gift.
- Or why not surprise someone with an attractive journal (at Barnes and Noble) that lists your “favorite special memories”?
- Another top gift idea (for anniversaries or “big year” birthdays) is to design a custom photo book (at Snap Fish). You select the photos you want to use and layout and the book is printed with a custom cover.
- A message in the bottle (at Amazon) is another great way to provide a sentiment that won’t be forgotten.

Gifts That Don't Require Pre-Planning

There are many other top gift ideas that don’t require pre-planning and customization. We love gifts that are reflective of special passions or are beautifully crafted but still useful.

- Consider a coffee table book on "Journeys of a Lifetime, 500 of the World's Greatest Trips" or "50 Places to Golf Before You Die" (both at Barnes and Noble).

- An exquisite gift like the bamboo tornado pen lets the recipient know you gave the gift special thought.

Unique and Fun Gifts

Unique and fun gifts are always good, but make sure the gift is not too quirky. We give a “two thumbs up” to the Football Barbeque Set with plastic handle sport football textured grips and a spatula head with a gridiron design.

We hope that gift giving can be as much fun as receiving gifts for you!
