Shopping for that person can be the epitome of holiday season stress!

Everyone has at least one of them on their Christmas gift-giving list … the person who, no matter how hard you rack your brain, is impossible to buy gifts for. No matter how hard you try, racking your brain, you can come up with very few ideas for hard to buy for gift recipients, and even those you agonize over.

They’ve got everything they want or need. They’re extremely picky about what they wear and there is no way you would attempt picking something out for them, as you know better from experience. You dread the process of coming up with a gift for them every year, and they are the last person you buy for because you put it off until you absolutely must make a decision.

Well, take a look at the Blurb Gift Center! There just may be a solution for you there … with several ideas for inspiration. Blurb is “the world’s first platform for making, printing and publishing independent books.” [Source: Blurb] You can make photo albums, cookbooks, family heritage books and so much more on their website.

So what kinds of things interest this hard-to-buy-for person? If it’s food, Blurb has some inspiration for Food Books.

Do they love their family? What about a Family History Book, a book with photos from the year of the grandkids, or maybe photos from a special event in the person’s life?

Is this person a new Mom, Aunt or Grandparent? Take a look at the Blurb Baby Books.

Travel? You could create a book with photos from previous trips or put together your own, personalized, Recommended Travel Destinations with the types of places you know that person would enjoy visiting.

There is bound to be something there for this person. Have a brainstorming session. Think about the things this person most enjoys. Make a list of 3-5 and brainstorm what types of books you could create that would fit into those categories.

Think about what a special gift you could make for this person because it can focus on something in their life that they love and it will have been made just for them by you. Priceless.

Here’s to a better year of shopping for that person on your list!
