Socks are seen as one of the worst gifts you can receive as a gift, but why not mix it up? You can customize socks to put a fun design or someone’s face from multiple vendors on Etsy.com. Prices average about $7.99 a pair on their website. You can also find fun socks at Target in Bullseye’s Playground (usually found at the front of the store).

Gift Cards
Gift cards can seem a bit impersonal, but they are a great way to allow the person you’re gifting to buy what they want. There are also gift cards that can be used at more than one store. You can make the gift card seem more personal by putting it in a card with a nice message or combining it with one of the gifts above.
