If You Hate Coming Up With Unique Gift Ideas, Then Here's 19 From Small Businesses

Thoughtful items to earn you the title of best gift giver.

What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.

Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.

1. A satin-lined hoodie which combines the best parts of a warm winter jacket, fluffy towel, and plush comforter into one item. Plus, the satin hood will be super gentle on their hair.

2. A 500-piece puzzle with a title that I think everyone can agree with — All Dogs Are Good Dogs! Perfect as a single- or multi-person activity, this can take a few hours and it will help sharpen their attention to detail.

3. A tote that I am now declaring is the perfect bag. It's made from leather, has a padded compartment for your laptop, and is lightweight, waterproof, and scratch resistant. Plus, they can wear it in four different ways — on their arm, on their shoulder, as a backpack, or as a cross-strap body bag.
