Holiday shopping tips

Most people have a few family members who are difficult to shop for at holidays. Either they already have everything, or you just can't think of anything they would like. There are about four people in our extended family whom we always have a hard time shopping for and usually end up giving them restaurant or movie gift cards.

I was thinking the other day about things people have around their house that they don't mind having more than one of. Things like flashlights make good gifts because usually people could use another one in their home, and it's the type of thing that gets misplaced often, so it's good to have many around the house for safety reasons. Flashlights can also be given to both men and women of all ages, so they are a good nondescript gift to fit multiple people on your hard-to-shop-for list.
