Holiday Gift Guide Ideas

Holiday Gift Guide: Unique Gifts for Everyone On Your List

by Jamie Beck

The best part about the holiday season (besides cookies of course!) is finding the perfect gifts to give to friends and family. Don’t you just love when you find something that is so uniquely perfect for that special person on your list? We also know that finding the right gift for everyone on your list can sometimes be an overwhelming task. And the mall this time of year? Yikes. But fear not! We have put together a lineup of some great gifts that can fit any personality or style.

Not surprisingly, this list is a little heavy on the air plants. Aside from the fact that air plants are relatively easy to care for, and don’t require soil, they are just plain cool - and unique enough that we can pretty much guarantee they won’t be relegated to the re-gifting pile. We’ve also thrown in a few of our other favorite gift ideas.
