A [Sweet] 2011 Christmas Gift Guide

With Thanksgiving fastly approaching, I'm getting quite antsy to get my Christmas shopping taken care of.   I LOVE to shop, so I usually want to start as early as possible. BUT, the last few years I've tried to be as budget conscious as possible, so each year I shop later and later into the season in order to get the best deals. To do this I usually have a list created well before Thanksgiving and then I price watch.  No, it's not the most fun, but until I am a millionaire (someday!!) I will keep up my thrifty habits. Besides, it makes the season even better if I can buy what I'd like for my favorite people and not be broke by January 1st!

Other than trying to find the best deals I also try to make sure what I buy someone is something they'll really use like. I love to put time into coming up with present ideas and I always get overly excited when someone REALLY likes what they get : )

So, today I'm listing some cute gift ideas--for both girls and guys. Some things are unique and some are just trusty gift ideas that anyone would love.
