The holidays are just around the corner and shopping is big during the holiday season. Sometimes it can be hard to find things to get for your friends and family that they like and are affordable. 

For moms and daughters:

If your mother or sister is into beauty, gift ideas like makeup, skin care, nail polish or jewelry are all good options.

You could also take advantage of trends like burr baskets. These are baskets filled with the recipient’s favorite things. Ideas for items to fill the baskets include blankets, giftcards, candy and more. These are a great gift because you can personalize the basket however you think the recipient would like.

For dads and brothers:

Dads and brothers can be really hard to shop for. If they like sports you can get them something from their favorite sports team. Some other ideas are coffee mugs or a new wallet. If he likes to cook or grill you could get him grilling utensils, if he likes to fish you could get him fishing gear, or if he likes to golf you can get him personalized golf balls. 

For anyone:

Food is a really good gift idea for your loved ones: you can get them their favorite candy, chips, or snacks. If you feel like going the extra mile, give them a basket of homemade baked goods.

Gift cards are another really great idea. You can get someone a giftcard to their favorite store like Target or Amazon, their favorite clothing store, or their favorite fast food place like Starbucks. 

You can also make a homemade gift, like a painting or a customized coaster. If it really comes down to the point where you have absolutely no idea on what to get someone, it’s OK to ask them for ideas. You can also check out the most popular gifts ordered through Amazon.

Hopefully this list helped inspire some gift ideas, but it is also just a starting point. There are so many more things you could get your loved ones for the holidays, and remember: it’s the thought that counts.
