Best Gifts - Ideas for Christmas Gifts for All Ages!

Vieo Gaming Systems

The Nintendo WII is a great gift for teen of all ages. WII can even turn into a family activity. There are assortments of games that you can buy as a gift or if you're unsure of what gifts to get, add on a giftcard! Being that games usually range from $50.00-$80.00, it may be a good idea to add at least $80.00 to the gift card.

Handheld Video Games

The Nintendo DS

the Nintendo is a fun little handheld game that allows you to relax and unwind. You can have virtual pets, play games that help you exercise your mind, and just relax. The Nintendo also allows you to have one-on-one time. The game console comes in pink, silver, and white. The retail price ranges from $130.00-$160.00. Yes, adults can play with hand held games too.

MP3 Players such as the iPod Touch, Creative and etc.

The iPod touch is such a cool mp3 player and functional toy. It allows you to enjoy your music while surfing the web. You can also save photos, make slide shows and even play games. Yes, a 64 year old dean of a college that I worked for received an Ipod from his grand children as a gift and he loved it! His grand children loaded the iPod with golden oldies and that was his gift. He is now learning to use iTunes.

Another cool ipod is the full line of Ipods made by Apple. Apple had made several mp3 players to fit anyone's budget! You can now get an Ipod mini for as low at $79.00 and the more advanced Ipod that allow you to hold more songs, music, and movies will be a bit steeper in price ranges.

There are many types of Ipods to choose from. Microsoft also has created the ZUNE mp3 player which is also super cool because you can beam songs to other ZUNE mp3's and also take photos and send images via a wireless system. Keep your choice open!

ITunes

Give the gift of music! Go to iTunes or the Apple site and purchase gift cards or more!

Mac AirBook!

Why not get someone a laptop or macbook as a gift? They make the perfect gifts. They're a little pricey, but well worth the investment for that high school or college student.

Start A Saving's Account

Start a fun or rainy days saving's account for that teen! Make a gracious deposit of at least $300-$500 and encourage the child/teen to deposit cash as well, enabling them to increase their deposit. This also allows the child to remain responsible for their money! Teach frugal spending at an early age!

A Bike

Encourage physical fitness with getting that teen a bike! Your teen can always go on bike trails, go to the beach with friends if you live by a local beach, explore your area and get fit! Bike rides are great for your heart!

Roller Skates

Roller Skates are another fun and healthy activity that's good for every muscle in the body! Skate your way to health! You can purchase skates at nearly any sporting goods store!

A Digital Camera

Cameras make great gifts and technology has become so advanced, allowing manufacturers to produce cameras that harness technology and quirks that are out of this world! For example, there is a new camera that has a touch screen lcd, allowing you to take the photo and then add your own captions and illustrations to the photo BEFORE it's printed!

Photography is a great and profitable hobby! You can also purchase an array of books as well that will show your child how to use their camera! Most cameras also come with instruction manuals. This will allow you and your child to spend quality time together. Also invest in a high quality photo printer! Epson makes the best printers! Be sure to pick up some photo paper to print as well!

A Classic Fixer-Upper!

Classic mustangs are amazing! So are GTO's and even impalas! Go and get a few vintage mustang repair and sale books from your local grocery store car rack or from your local 7/11. When you look into the car, make sure that it doesn't have any serious engine problems. Engine problems tend to be the biggest issue among classics, so have the car checked out by a certified mechanic who's familiar with engine's and parts!

Full Body Spa Gift Certificates

Why not give that special woman a certificate or two to have a full medi and pedi done? It can come in handy if the giftee is super girly and attends a lot of events such as dances and such!

An Exotic Pet or Just A Dog

Pets are great! Why not get someone an exotic pet such as a dog, or an exotic little creature such as a chinchilla, or even a iguana? Make sure that the chinchilla is either a baby or a mild tempered little rascal because those little guys can give you hell and charge you rent if they've come from an awkward or abusive breeder. You can also search on-line for breeders!

Better yet, a salt water aquarium! Go to your local pet store and have a look! It's guaranteed that you will find something that lives in water that's cool.

A Vacation

Give the gift of travel! Arrange for a trip to an island or somewhere. Book the hotel and plan events!

Music Lessons

Give the gift of music by giving piano lessons! You now have the choice of finding a piano teacher or buying programs that allow your computer to teach you the piano. Yes, technology is amazing!

Guitar lessons: I think the most popular lessons are guitar lessons! Go to your local and or widely commercial music supply and equipment store where you will be sure to find music lesson referrals and even guitars!

Drums: You can also find instructors to teach drum lessons as well at music stores by way of referrals.

Art Supplies

If you know someone one that likes to draw, why not get them painting, and sketching supplies such as tablets, rice paper, charcoals pencils, oil paint, brushes, markers and etc? Go to a professional art supply store to get these items!

Gift Card

A gift card to a department store! Better yet, get a gift card at the Apple Store!

Tickets to an Amusement Park

Why not give the gift of season passes at an amusement park? If you live in Los Angeles or another state that has amusement parks, then this would be a great gift for that person that loves fast and scary rides.

Computer software

Most people love computers and software. Now-a-days you can find some really interesting software out there for such as adobe illustrator, Photoshop, elements and even Corel. then these software programs would be great!

New Techy Cell Phones

Why not get that special someone of yours a new cell phone with all of the bells and whistles? Check on-line at your local phone stores and you will find many new and interesting phones that will add excitement to their lives? It would be a better idea to go into the actual store so that you can get a look an feel of what you're buying. You can ask the salesman/woman about the phone while learning about its features, which will help you familiarize yourself with the phone! They will actually allow you to handle and play with the features on the phone, giving you an upper hand, when something goes array and the person comes to you complaining that their phone is broken, you will know what to do.
