I hate trying to think of things to give people: I'm just not creative. Like ts, I hate "shopping" and the more so if I'm not exatly sure what I want.
My family has rules around gifts. The budget is approximately $40 per person. You can spend more if you find the perfect gift for someone and you just can't resist buying it. That's happened once or twice but it's rare.

My husband's family has the same rule but they limit the cost to $25 per person.

Hubby and I usually spend more on each other, but it's often gifts that we can both use.

I have finished shopping for one niece, but I have no idea what to get the rest of the clan. My Mom may be getting a HT in a box. Maybe this thread will help with ideas.

Last year 80% of my shopping was done on-line. My goal each year is to not have to step foot in a mall after November 30.
