Also, if your mom is the cook in the house, get her a new kitchen accessory and volunteer to be her official taste tester.

Your significant other: Make sure you are on the same page so both of you can have a great time and aren’t feeling guilty about what you bought or how much you spent.
If you’re both crafty, make each other personal gifts like a collage, frame or photo album.

If you both are adventurous, pool your money together and go on a holiday trip.

Get each other matching jewelry, clothing, or technology.

Siblings: This depends on age and gender of your sibling.
Older Boy: The best way to give a gift to your big bro is to do it subtly. Get him a tie if he got a recent promotion. If he is married with kids, give him a meaningful gift that reflects his family.

Younger Boy: If he is into games, buy him the newest age-appropriate game. If he is into movies, buy him movie passes or a box DVD set.

Older Girl: A new wardrobe piece is a great gift. Accessories like scarves, totes or shoes will be a great addition to her wardrobe.
- Try Forever 21, DSW, Marshalls or Aldo
Younger Girl: If she loves beauty, try makeup, skin or hair products. Another great gift is a day out together. If she is close to you, she will love a shopping day or brunch day.

Niece/Nephew: A great gift is clothes.
They will appreciate a new sweater or dress. Make the gift even better by adding a toy. Or pajamas with their favorite character on it.

Other Tips:
Start with a budget. When following a budget, you can buy great gifts that you can afford. Buy a gift with meaning. Make sure the gift has a special meaning to you and the person you are giving it to.
Finally, remember: it's not the gift that counts. It’s the reaction from the person you’re giving it to, and spending time with people you care about.
