It is gift giving season! Do you need ideas for those gifts? Sometimes you find that perfect item that just matches right up with someone you love. And sometimes you have no idea what to give! We’ve all been there- wondering what gift to get and wanting the recipient to love the selection. That is why we have created the Family Holiday Gift Guide to help you find hot new gifts and solid favorites that everyone will love. Some samples of the items included in this list were provided to me for consideration, others I found on social media, and still others come straight off my own wish list! There are many green gift options included. Spending time together as a family is always a wonderful gift but since that doesn’t fit in a box, here are my top gift choices.

Numi’s Pu-erh Tea features tea picked from 500-year-old organic, wild trees in China’s Yunnan Province and it offers a slightly sweet flavor with hints of malt. Available in Cardamom Pu-erh, Chocolate Pu-erh, Emperor’s Pu-erh, and Ginger Pu-erh. Makes a great stocking stuffer!

My husband loves snacking on nuts. I could generally take them or leave them but when I tried mixed nuts from Nuts.com they taste so fresh and flavorful that I could eat the whole bag by myself. These roasted and salted mixed nuts are extra large and premium quality- cashews, almonds, brazil nuts, pecans, and filberts. Yum! (2 lbs- $32.99) Available at nuts.com
4. Bean’s Waffle Pajamas
This pajama set caught my eye because it is a soft waffle-knit cotton that looks comfortable. Plus it says it is rigorously tested for a look and feel that will last season after season- one of the things I love about L.L.Bean stuff! ($59) Available at llbean.com

One of the hottest toys of the season, Skylanders Trap Team, is a great present for girls or boys. Both my kids want it!

I like your gift suggestions. Did you know? 35% of shoppers are likely to directly purchase from Facebook, while 32% are willing to make a direct purchase through Twitter.

I think what you said was very reasonable. However, what about this?
suppose you wrote a catchier title? I ain’t saying your content isn’t solid., however what if you added something that grabbed people’s attention?
