4. For the Problem Solver

Think Fun Games-We have several of the Think Fun puzzle games and they are all a lot of fun & really challenging. Our favorite is Rush Hour but this card game is the only one coming in under the $10 limit. It has great reviews so it is definitely worth a shot! ($9.98)

5. For the Budding Artist

Crayola Oil Pastels–I bought my girls some of these oil pastels on a whim last summer, and never before has an medium so captured their attention! They absolutely LOVE creating beautiful, vivid art, and I love displaying it! At just $3.65 you’ll have cash to spare for a sketchbook to go with it! ($3.65 for the pastels, $3.55 for the sketchbook)

6. For the Aspiring Chef

RSVP Herb Scissors. These are so cool! Like many wannabe chefs, I love cooking with fresh herbs but absolutely HATE chopping them! These little scissors make mincing & chopping an absolute breeze. This would also be great paired with assortment of culinary herb seed kit ($9.90)

7. For the Techie

Plus the infinity style is the perfect gift for those of us who are *ahem* scarf challenged and have trouble figuring out how on earth to tie the darn things! Love! ($7.99)

9. For the Book Lover

Eleanor & Park-Okay, so technically this is a teen novel, but if Harry Potter and The Hunger Games have taught us anything is that all the best fiction is found in the teen section! This sweet love story is a New York Times Best Seller! ($9.99 Kindle version)

10. For the Competitors

Spot It Jr. -We are a any-kind-of-board-or-card-game loving family, and Spot It is hands down our favorite across all genres! If you’ve got older kids, they might like the regular version (It’s a little bit more at $11.69)( $7.99)

  • hey there and thank you for your info – I have
    definitely picked up something new from right here.
    I did however expertise a few technical points using this website, since I experienced to reload the website many times previous to I could get it to
    load correctly. I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK?
    Not that I'm complaining, but slow loading instances times will very frequently affect your placement in google and can damage your quality score if advertising and marketing
    with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my email and can look out for a lot more of your respective interesting content.

    Make sure you update this again very soon.

  • Just a note, that a magic 8 ball is not something that is beneficial spiritually for Christians to use. Please research this before you would give it as a gift if you are a believer. Just something to consider.

  • Love the scarfs, but they are $13.99. Still might buy one for myself.

  • This is an amazing list! Thanks for taking time to share it.

  • Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just ordered a combination of four of these gifts for the final 10 people on my list -- for $87! You just saved Christmas! Blessings to you and yours!

  • My 3 youngest kids love to play Spot-It, plus it's a great game to bring to a holiday party to keep the kids occupied.

  • Those herb scissors are awesome! I have never seen anything like that before. We have a garden and grow our own herbs, so these would be put to good use. Too bad I'm not buying myself gifts right now!

  • I still have quite a few gifts left to buy & I will definitely be using some of these ideas!! Love that multi tool and the cute scarf. The herb scissors are neat too. Thanks for the great list!
