Are you looking for a gift for a shopaholic? Trying to find something that they haven't already brought might be a bit tricky! Instead of giving them some shopping vouchers to go and indulge their shopping addiction what about thinking of some other gift ideas for them.
There are Shopaholic T-Shirts which can add a bit of fun to the gift giving as well as providing them with a great tee to wear. Check this one out and if you think it's a great idea there's a great selection at the link above.
Of course not everyone likes t-shirts (I can't think why as I'm a bit of a t-shirt Queen, but each to their own!) Luckily there are some other ideas for shopaholics which you can find at another great site - Shopaholic Gifts.
Gifts include Martini Glasses, travel mugs (after all coffee on the go means "no stopping your shopping") and more. If you can't find a gift solution for your shopaholic friend/family member at these two links then it'll have to be another shopping voucher!

Disney Princess Barbie Dolls
If you're looking for a gift idea for a young girl who still loves to play with her dolls and listen to classic fairy tales then you can't go past a Disney Princess Barbie Doll. There are lots of different Disney Princess dolls available, but the Barbie ones are classics that are played with for a far longer time than the plush dolls which are available.
Barbie dolls have been loved for generations so combine them with the classic Disney Princesses and you have a winning formula.
You can buy all of the Disney Princess Barbie dolls individually or in sets such as the one featured which has 7 of the Disney Princess Barbie dolls in it. If you're not sure which Disney Princess is the favorite of the little girl you're buying for then a set is a great idea.
This particular set contains Rapunzel (one of my favorite stories growing up, I haven't actually seen the Disney movie version), Belle, Tiana, Jasmine, Ariel, Snow White and my personal favorite Disney Princess - Cinderella.
If you do know their favorite Disney Princess then I would check out this aptly named site - Disney Princess Barbie Dolls to see what individual Disney Princess Barbie dolls there are to choose from. The site even has the not so often mentioned Disney Princesses Mulan and Pocahontas Barbie dolls.

Gifts for a Creative Child + We Got An Award!
First up we got given a Creative Blog Award which led me to the idea of looking for a 'creative' gift idea to feature! Here's the award - isn't it cool?
Now if you have a creative child how do you feed their imagination and nurture their creativity? I have always made sure that I have paper and art supplies on hand for my daughter and I've come across this set from Amazon that looks pretty cool and would be a great gift idea for a budding artist.
This set comes in it's own box which most young children will find pretty cool. It also features color pencils, oil pastels, watercolor cakes, paint brushes, pencils etc. Basically this art set will allow them to explore a few different mediums which is exactly what you want for a young child who enjoys art.
Of course art isn't the only way that creativity shows through, my daughter has always enjoyed writing as well and I used to get her to write on pieces of A5 paper and then to do a picture on the front piece of paper with the name of her story. We would then staple the paper together to produce her own book. This is something that children absolutely love.
Now it appears that you can take this process another step with an Illustory Make Your Own Story kit like this one here -
Now I must admit I haven't actually used this set, but I would've definitely brought one had I found them a few years ago as it's a great way to nurture a child's imagination.
There are lots of other gift ideas for creative children from cross-stitch kits, beading kits and the current favorite - children's cooking sets. It seems as though there has been an explosion in the number of cooking shows on our television at the moment which has led to children wanting to show their creativity in the kitchen as well.
As far as I'm concerned if you can get a child interested in cooking from a young age there are no bad side effects, but maybe that's just me!
I'll leave you with this 19 piece kids baking set from the Food Network's Paula Deen.

A Great Gift Idea for A Classic Car Enthusiast
If you're looking for a gift idea for a classic car enthusiast than I have a great idea for you. Now if you're anything like me there isn't enough money to purchase an actual 1919 Ford Model-T car as a gift (or whatever car they really hanker after), however you might be able to afford a 1919 Ford Model-T Christmas ornament for them.
There are lots of different American Classic Cars available as Christmas ornaments and they are a great gift idea as every Christmas when the tree is being decorated your friend or family member will remember your gift as they hang it on the tree. It's also a great way of collecting all of the classic and vintage cars that they love in miniature form - there's nothing to say they can't have them on display all year around.
I have compiled a selection of these Christmas ornaments at Classic American Cars Christmas Ornaments from the vintage 1919 Ford Model-T mentioned above to the 1955 Ford Thunderbird and my favorite the 1957 Corvette right up to the 1970 Ford Mach 1 Mustang.

Justin Bieber Laptop Skins
Are you looking at buying a gift for a Justin Bieber fan? There are so many different Justin Bieber gift ideas to choose from that it's hard to know where to start. Today however I'm going to talk about Justin Bieber laptop skins.
We've brought our dd a laptop for her birthday and these laptop skins seem like a great idea for personalizing a laptop. I'm sure anyone would love to show off their favorite singer, actor or just activity on their laptop.
This Justin Bieber laptop skin is the most popular one that I've sold, although it's not my favorite, but then I'm not his targeted audience!
With most children requiring laptops to do their school work on it seems like laptop skins will become a more and more popular gift idea and with Bieber fever showing no signs of abating the Justin Bieber laptop skin continues to be a winner in the pop culture market!
I have a range of different Justin Bieber laptop skins available on my aptly named Justin Bieber Laptop Skins site and I'm sure that you'll find the perfect one on there - unless you're going with the masses and grabbing the one featured here - two pictures of Justin on one laptop skin is the reason I think it's been so popular - what do you think?

Celebrity Rubber Duckies
Have you seen celebriducks before? They are an amalgamation of famous celebrities and rubber duckies and they make a fun gift idea. I had ducks on the brain so I wanted to find a duck related gift idea to share with you and from there celebrity rubber duckies were an obvious choice!
Why do I have ducks on the brain? Well yesterday morning both my dogs started barking excitedly and when I walked out onto the balcony I saw that we had intruders. They were a cute intruder as opposed to the scary ones and I quickly called out to my daughter thinking how cool it was that she had a student free day.............we had two ducks swimming in our pool!
I had heard of ducks visiting people's pools before, but this was the first time since we put our pool in five years ago that ducks had visited us. They had a pleasant swim and then took off.................I waited for them to come back today, but so far there's no sign of our 'intruders' returning.
So it's time for a blog post and I thought right what makes a great duck gift - well there are so many cool duck gifts on offer, but I couldn't really go past these celebrity rubber ducks - they are so cute!
Whether you want to bathe with the King himself, Marilyn Monroe, the Blues Brothers or President Obama himself there is a celebriduck just right for you............there is even one of the pope!
I'm not sure if a papal celebriduck means that your bathwater becomes holy water, but you'd want to wear a swimming costume or cover his eyes wouldn't you!
If you're looking to find a Christmas gift for someone there is even a Santa celebriduck - what better gift idea is there?
Let's face it everyone loves their rubber ducky from children to adults, celebrities to neighbors why even the Queen has a rubber ducky by all accounts!
