Hot Cocoa & Mug
Since everyone can use a mid-winter pick-me-up, consider the gift of sugar, in liquid form. For a personal touch, whip up a homemade batch of powder cocoa mix, bag it, and put in the mug for them to heat up at their leisure. Or if cocoa concoctions are not your forte, buy some store-bought mix and drop in a few marshmallows. Pair with a Starbucks Garnet Logo Mug, and you've got yourself a winning cocoa combination.
16 oz. Starbucks Garnet Logo Mug: $6.95

Magazines
A magazine subscription is a great idea for the readers on your list. There are plenty of magazines out there that are $10 or less for a year's subscription. So if the person on your list enjoys reading about travel, why not grace their coffee table with a new issue of Smart Luxury Travel every other month? Who knows where it will take them! If a subscription to their favorite mag is too much, buy 2 or 3 copies and tie together with ribbon. This gift will provide hours of enjoyment throughout the year.
Smart Luxury Travel, year subscription: $9.95
Children's Books
If you're looking to buy a gift for a niece or nephew, or even one of your own kids, a kid's book is always a good way to go. Encourage them to read at any age - there are hundreds of titles available, in most any topic. Consider pairing a hardcover book on sale with a small plush animal for a special touch.
