Like to cook? Know someone who does? Get them some of these cool presents, which are all perfect for Cooking Fanatics!

And what would Christmas be like without somebody taking pictures. What if your camera went belly up? Why not give someone a new one just to make sure that SOMEONE has a great camera for those Kodak moments. So here are some excellent choices for the Photographers (Digital Cameras anyone?) on your list.

All this indoor stuff in winter can make you stir crazy. We’re all looking forward to the nice weather again (except for those who live in nice climates year round, or those who live down under and are celebrating Christmas on the beach. Either way, most of us love to garden, whether the weather is suitable for it right now or whether we have to wait a while until it gets warmer, and so here are a few ideas for the Gardeners on your list (or yourself).

Love Golf? Know someone who does? Your husband maybe? Or your uncle, brother, boss? Hey, your sister, aunt, mom, grandmother?  Here are some great gift ideas for Golfers!

But Kids are not the only ones who love toys. We grown-ups like them too. It’s just that we have a different label for them, don’t we. So here are some ideas for Toys for the Grown-ups (also known as Gadgets).  Yup, you got it.  These are techie toys!

And with all the cookies and eggnog and New Year’s resolutions coming up, no wish list could be complete without the latest in weight loss aids. So throw in a little Weightloss Stuff just in case…

And you might need it if you overindulge in the kinds of things you find in my next gift idea, which is actually my gift for YOU:  A downloadable book with tons of great recipes for gifts you can eat. Just control-click on that link and enjoy!  And if you have people left on your lift after buying all those gadgets, you can always make them some edible gifts in jars.

Still have people on your list that are hard to please and edible gifts are not appropriate for? Here are a few more general ideas for fabulous and sure to please Christmas Presents.

Happy Holidays. And I sure hope that Santa is going to bring YOU what you really want!

    What great ideas! We just made vanilla extract and vanilla sugar to give as gifts this year. Check out our step by step instructions: http://marxfood.com/how-to-make-vanilla-extract/

    Lots of cool ideas, I found this one my kids love
    ** TickleMe Plant – It Moves **
    A great green low cost gift that will make everyone smile is to grow a TickleMe Plant and watch it MOVE when Tickled! The leaves quickly fold and even the branches droop when tickled. I found this to be a great stress reliever in my office and what a conversation piece!. You may have seen the TickleMe Plant in the botanical gardens.. Now it can be grown indoors year round.
    No green thumb needed. I found it on line at http://www.ticklemeplant.com

    HI Emily and Jenny,

    thanks so much for the great suggestions. Love the vanilla bean recipe, Emily.

    And the tickle-me plant is really cool too. We used to have them where I grew up in Germany. I think they were called Mimosas.

    Happy Holidays!

    Elisabeth
