Clocks can also make great gifts as most people enjoy knowing what time it is. If you happen to be familiar with someone's home you can decide whether a wall or desk-top clock is appropriate. From there you can decide whether digital or not is best and what color or theme is being presented with the clock. A favorite for many years is a truly nice pen. Most people write and a good sturdy pen, possibly engraved, can be just what that special someone is looking for.
Photo albums are also treasures to give.
Most have archival quality anymore and they come in all sizes, colors and decorations. Discount stores often have a variety for sale as do retail photo stores. Memory album supplies can be a great gift idea too. Depending on the personality of the person you are buying for, if they have a tendency for creativity it might just make the ideal gift anytime of year. So consider all facets when deciding on which gift to purchase.
