The holidays always bring on a sort of "What the $#^&!" attitude in terms of what to give each person on your list. My best ideas have come through a wide array of googling, Yahoo!ing and consulting others about where they buy their gifts. Low and behold, purchasing your gifts online just may be the answer for you. I've collected some top notch gifts from www.etsy.com (probably one the most thorough online shopping websites I've seen to date), to help ease the pain and frustration of finding that perfect gift for loved ones.
Each category is seperated by a general age group and also sub-divided a little more to help carve out that best options for whoever is on your list.
Children: (Ages 0-10)
- "The Wild Child"
- LED Hula Hoops : These are great for kids who like to keep busy, active and have a spunky, rambunctious attitude. They light up all colours of the rainbow, and are quite affordable ranging fro $30 to $60 dollars.
- "The Artist"
- Rainy Day Craft Box : This extra large craft box is compiled with oodles of bits and pieces for your child to have endless fun with. Creating anything imaginable is definitely in the cards for this lucky gift recipient! Affordable at under $30 dollars.
Tweens & Teens: (Ages 11-19)
- "Feminine"
- Jumbo Cotton Candy Cupcake Soap : Thinking of buying for an ultra-feminine tween or teen? Whether 11 or 19, they will adore these jumbo sized soaps in the shape of cotton candy cupcakes, almost too good to be true! Just make sure they don't try and take a bite...

- Football Wall Decals : The masculine tween or teen will love to decorate their walls with these football shaped wall decals. It's almost as if they're in the middle of the field!
Adults: (Ages 20 to ... Shh)
As this category can be a little more tricky, and far more broad I'll leave the creative genius up to you. But here are a couple tips and hints for tracking down the perfect gift for whomever you have on your list.
If you're buying for a jewellery lover, check out Etsy's Jewellery section, for oodles of vintage, handcrafted or just plain unique pieces sure to fit the style of any jewellery afficionado. Conveniently categorized by type, you can't go wrong!
If you're buying for someone who loves art peices, they also carry a large assortment of pieces randing from small table decorative pieces to oversized wall hangings. They even have a grand selection catered to a more unique, modern and somewhat obscure taste.
Last but not least, if you enjoy giving a more seasonal gift during the holidays, they have an entire section dedicated to Holiday inspired gifts here. From quaint to dazzling, you'll find the perfect sentiment to add to the perfect gift, or make it the entire gift!
Whatever you choose, Etsy is the perfect place to find both handcrafted goods that are unique & original, but also a place to find meaningful, sentimental and timeless pieces that you won't find browsing the aisles of Walmart. This year, give them something special.
