We all love Top 5 Lists, right? Well, this holiday season I shopped at every site, store, and sale you could imagine! I was lucky to locate some great finds for clients, family, and friends.

But what about you? Where can you really go for that certain person in your life? Other than calling me to help, of course, I have some sites I love to use for certain personality types. Here’s the Top 5 list for those certain someones in your life:

  1. For the Early Adopter – thegrommet.com
  2. For the Monogram Maven – markandgraham.com
  3. For the Hard to Buy For – uncommongoods.com
  4. For the Status Conscious – theoutnet.com
  5. For the “I don’t need something else in my house” or the “saving the world” types – charitygiftcards.com
    Truth: I haven’t used this site but have had friends that have. But, if you know where your friends’ passions lie, give to that nonprofit in their name.
