gifts for the Holidays

what do you get this person or that person? i mean there are so many things to look into,but what is the best gift and how does it reflect the person you have in mind? over the years i tend to find certain gifts for certain people that capture the moment. window shopping and then on-line.there are of course gift certificates and other ways of giving gifts for family, friends and what have you. bought gifts that were happening for the time period, bought gifts that were trendy, bought gifts that i can't even remember where i got them again. i have gotten many wonderful gifts over the years and it's been quite memorable. all gifts have there place and will always mean so much to the soul.
