And for those who submitted ideas, I've included a few of the ones you sent me! I've also included links to a lot of the items I've found, as well as stores that you can check. Most of these ideas are more specific and less generic, so if you're confused about what something is, google it! You can always leave me a comment as well, and I'll do my best to reply quickly! Hopefully that will help you this year with purchasing and finding inspiration for unique gifts!
Remember, you can find lots of great deals on gifts. Sites like Zulily, Groopdealz and RueLaLa often offer great designer pieces, kids clothing, toys, accessories etc for half or more off. Be sure to check them daily! Very Jane offers discounted Etsy deals daily as well - I've purchased multiple things from them! Another great tip is to use Swagbucks. Make a free account here and use it as your search engine year-round. You'll randomly win points as you search. You can cash those points in for giftcards - I usually get the $5 Amazon cards. I almost never pay for Kindle books by doing this! I wrote a whole tutorial on how to do this here. Last, but not least, if you do your shopping through Ebates, you earn cash back! It's great!
Also, I should mention that these gifts vary in price - from things you can make yourself with stuff you've got on hand to well over $100. Why? Some people do stocking gifts and that's all, so they are willing to spend a lot on those gifts. I've tried to give a wide range of unique ideas as well as price points. I hope you'll find them useful!
