I get it. Sometimes the stress of gift-giving can leave you feelin like the Grinch. The holidays can especially bring on the grumps when trying to find the right gifts for the right people. Stress no more, mai loves. Here are mai easy gift ideas for the Not-So-Easy people in your life.

The Boss

Be personable by finding out what Computer/iPad/Surface unit your boss uses and trick it out with a great case. Give em a reason to look forward to opening up those emails!

Take a look at this sleek, wood-style iPad case from Zazzle.

That Guy You’re “Sort Of” Seeing

The Birchbox Man is great general gift many men would appreciate.

I additionally think a lil inside joke gift is great to personalize your pressie. Think about references he’s made (Phobia of spiders? Maybe give him a book to get over it), childhood memories (His first candy he fell in love with were pixie sticks, what about a box of them?) Have fun with it!

Also, if he’s a foodie .. and a dude, chances are he loves bacon. Score:

Voodoo Bacon Maple Ale. Recommended to be paired with pork and doughnuts. Awesome second date food.

Your Bestie Who Has Everything

Memories! Drop the idea of buying of something additional to add to her stash and crank out something memorable instead. Maybe a box of quotes she’s said that’s either made you laugh or get over a rough time. She can pull them out each day and get a lil smile from rekindling the moment.

Or find something she uses every day (her smartphone, daily cup of coffee..) and personalize it with a silly ‘oh no you didn’t’ picture from your smart phone. Glam it up with the nostalgic Lisa Frank app and get it printed for cheap at Kinkos or Target.

The Distant Family Member You Don’t Know Too Well

I love these Brit kits that the brill babe Brit Morin has come up with. The kits are DIY craft supply boxes for home decor, party essentials, food + treats, fashion accessories, and more. Not only are they wonderful creative ways to spend time over the holidays, but they’re things that can be used or displayed to remind them they’re on your mind.

Another easy peasy gift I’m obsessed with is FOOD. Who doesn’t love food? I heart I heart pies. This could possibly be the gift from Jesus if you were ever wondering what to get me
