For the techie
The new iPad Air is the perfect gift for someone who is looking for a versatile tablet. Being 43% thinner and 28% lighter than previous iPad models, the iPad Air is easy to tote around in a backpack or bag without weighing you down. Don’t let the weight fool you, the Air has the exact same screen size as the iPad 4. The price of this device is also friendlier than older models, starting at just $499. Check out all the options at the apple store.

For the sports buff
These guys are one of the hardest to shop for. There is always the option to give them a gift card to Sports Authority or the brand new Cabela’s store. This is a great option for an easy or last minute gift that any sports buff is sure to use but they aren’t exactly creative. Try buying them a protein shake tumbler which you can find at stores like Target, fill it with tissue paper and put the gift card inside. This is an easy way to dress up your gift.
For the kids

Younger siblings are easy to buy for because they tell you exactly what they want wrapped up under the tree. Monster High dolls are always a winner and with most dolls under twenty dollars, they are very affordable. Monster High dolls can be found at stores like Target and Toys R Us. For the little boys in your family, battling spinning tops are making a comeback. Beyblade makes tops as well as battle arenas, which are sold at most toy stores like Toys R Us.
