Gifts for THAT PERSON

Everyone has "THAT PERSON" on their gift list.  You know the one person who you can never figure out what to give them.  I have to say that I am pretty good at picking out gifts for people, but I have one person that their personality makes it hard for me to get into their head.
Here are a few ideas for that impossible person:

1.) Board Games or Games in general - These are great especially if their are people willing to play with them on the day they get it.  I highly recommend the following games:

Apples to Apples leads to hours of fun at any gathering.

Phase 10 is one of my favorite card games.  In fact, I have a deck that I putting in LML's stocking this year!  (Shhh! Do not tell him!)  This game is easy to understand once you have read the instruction card included in the deck.

2. Coffee - If the person you need to get a gift for is a coffee drinker, find some samples of gourmet blends of coffee.  This always makes for a terrific yet easy gift for most people.

3. Gift Certificate to a new restaurant in their town.  Everyone likes an opportunity to try something new, especially a new place to eat.  

4. Itunes gift card - While both option 3 and 4 are not my favorite because it does let the recipient know how much you spent on them, sometimes you have to resort to a stand-by gift.

5. Gourmet gift bag - Sometimes our local grocery store will have a special on cheese (DO NOT buy the cheese cubes, I am talking the special cheeses such as gouda, goat cheese, brie, etc.) and I love to pair a good cheese with some water table crackers and a bottle of inepensive wine.  This makes for a fun gift for the recipient.  (Note: Make sure that the recipient drinks wine before gifting them a bottle.)

6.  If you need to spend some money on the recipient (i.e. they are your brother-in-law or something), I highly recommend Omaha Steaks.  Who does not enjoy a good steak dinner?  You can even pick out side items and dessert.
