When my son was still taking his lunch to school I would use those little square desk Calendars with the tear off page to add to his lunch. One year was Fighter jets, one year Joke of the day. It was a fun way to personalize his lunch.

When I was a young mom and losing my mind with a hectic schedule, my mom would give me a calendar each year with all of the birthday dates of family members on it. It was so helpful to be aware of whose birthday was coming up and it was one thing I wasn’t always behind on.

Knowing the personality type of the person you are buying for helps a ton. My spouse WAS terribly difficult to buy for until I figured out that what meant most to him was ANY gift that was given from the heart. It could be practical or goofy. If it was given out of genuine care, then it was a hit! I prefer extremely practical gifts, like gift cards. Or something that can be USED for multiple purposes or to make life easier or more special. Knowing the personality of the person you’re buying for helps.

We love to give gift cards to Half Price Books with a note that it's a time to spend together. We go to the bookstore, have a great time "helping" pick out a book, and then we head out for coffee/ice cream. Sooo much fun and it extends out their special day.

Five-in-One Painters tool (one of my kids gave me this for a Xmas gift and I use it ALL the time -- especially for cleaning nooks and crannies). Screwdriver with multiple heads you can switch out. Sweater comb (to de-pill sweaters) Schwan Ice Cream is a great gift! We are giving it to Grandpa this year. A DIY gift -- a cookie-gram. You bake 2 dozen (or whatever you want) cookies and give it along with a cookie-gram (certificate thing) that says, "You will be receiving 2 dozen homemade cookies each month for the year! It would be a good gift for a Grandma to give to grandkids and then have them come over and bake with her. Or mail them to someone far away. I would love to get a cleaning certificate for 4 house cleaning days! Great idea! I also love the Schwan meals idea.

If you have a handy guy to buy for, trying just wandering around the hardware store and picking up little tools: flashlights, drill bits, sand paper, a small level, etc. Individually wrap them and put them in a new toolbox. My husband told me that tools to him were like jewelry to me: just because you already have one (pair of earrings, screwdriver) doesn't mean you don't need/want another one. Extras, stored in that toolbox, would be great to have in the car!

Great ideas! One idea that my husband reduced me to happy tears last Christmas with was to print off special photos of us & the kids and put them into a small dollar store album. It may not be a minimal idea but was inexpensive (Walmart or Costco prints photos very promptly and reasonably) and made a HUGE impact. Everyone can enjoy the photos once they are off your phone and printed!

For the hard-to-buy-for people on your list who have everything they need and want [and prefer to buy themselves if that arises], I have donated to a worthy cause, charity, non-profit that either the recipient prefers, or that I have researched and feel good about donating to [verify they're legit, etc] and donate in the name of your person or family that does not want any material things to dust or cause clutter. This also works for birthdays, congratulations, and other celebration times. I am long distance from everyone I'd otherwise send gifts to but it'd not practical or affordable -- in the past I have donated to one or two pet rescue groups I've followed over many years and know their situation [usually to the ones without an actual shelter and have to rely on all-volunteers and private foster homes] -- valid charities that speak to your or the recipients' hearts can always use donations, funding, volunteer labor, etc. See or ask if they have a "wish list" on Amazon dot com or equivalent. I like that I can have an affordable for me amount of pet food delivered directly to the porch of the unpaid volunteer lady who, with her few helpers, feeds and medicates the feral kitties in their rural area, 1500 miles away from me. I did grow up near there so I understand the situation. I often give to the pet rescue groups I've followed and volunteered with for decades, but one year I asked a friend how could I honor him and he would have not needed or wanted anything for himself, also donated to a particular children's home/ orphanage. When I contacted them about how I could help, they said they needed new or clean, gently used luggage for the children as they often had nothing for the few belongings they did have and crushed their soul when they had to move place to place within the system, using trash bags as their suitcases. I had 3 new unused appropriate sized suitcases and a couple of other totes and they were so appreciated. An unusual gift but well received. And when I can medically now that I am multipli-disabled, I still try to volunteer locally, continuing the tradition of my grandparents and parents who served at local 'soup kitchens', delivered meals to houses in need through our tiny church or via our community's service organizations. There are valid needs everywhere all through the year that are desperate to be met.

I always get our parents a fancy bag of coffee with some treats...this year, fancy nut mix, peppermint patties and chocolate covered almonds. Another idea I had is to get my mom baking supplies: flour, butter, sugar. She's 86 and takes a bus to the grocery but still loves to bake!

Palm scrubbers are a life saver when my hands hurt. Cool ideas, calendar one is my fave! I think I’d cry for a week if my hubby did that for me Tom is right that it’s not a typical guy thing but that why it would mean so much.

I'm done and wrapped. A previous video linked to pillow covers. I found snowman ones for Christmas and they look perky on our couch. Yesterday I received the next set for after Christmas. What a great idea to freshen up a home. It is a good gift idea but I decided we needed them instead. : - ) I will get the credit card tool for all the family men Bday gifts. I hadn't heard of "green toys". I think they will be a go to for the new grandchildren coming into our family. I seriously laughed out loud when Tom said "That is like getting coal in my stocking" You two are informative but incredibly fun! On a side note, I really enjoy the background music in your videos. Merry Christmas.

My kids love new toothbrushes as well! Also pinterest is full of diy seasoning blends and I'm making up a bunch of those for next Christmas. We gift baskets per family and not gifts for each individual person. Last year I did fun coffee stuff along with hot cocoa and crushed candy canes and marshmallows for the kids. Each basket also had things we thought of extra for that specific family and we placed all the items in a collapsible basket bought off amazon that can be used and stored without taken up much space.

Yes I'm done shopping and only have a few gifts left to wrap. I thought we were going to be going out of town but plans changed and we're home. It's nice having time to do fun extras. I made 4 different kinds of cookies and am giving the neighbors and friends plates of cookies for gifts this year. I want to make some candy to take for family gatherings yet as well

So I am only half through the video but thought I’d tell you something I did a couple years ago And my family still talks about it, I am also planning on it this year too! I was pretty tight financially and thought what can I do on a tight budget...so I did a pedi for everyone, my mom my dad my hubby and my kiddos and they loved it! It pampered them and they got a gift & they remembered how much they loved it! Love the idea of the freezer meal!

Bless your heart Dawn, I don't think Tom wanted to be there😁 Toms beard is looking really nice. Maybe Tom should make a video on the different guy gifts for. Christmas. You are adorable Dawn....yes you are. I appreciate all the time & thought that goes into researching the gifts & making this video for us. Merry Christmas & God's richest blessings to you & your family.

All of my family loves to get a calendar with birthdays, Anniversary's and other special dates already marked on the calendar. My mother-in-law started this almost 40 years ago, and I continued it after she passed away.

Such a great video! The calendar was my favorite! I have an idea to add...so some magazines can be pretty expensive (like 10-15) if they’re a special issue so I’m giving that to a few family members who I know will love them! Also I did a Miss Meyers gift basket for my mom! BTW...this hairstyle is the best on you and Toms beard looks cool! Thanks guys!! You’re the best:)
