For when folks are stuck on wtf to get someone, post suggestions that may have worked for you in the past!
Best gift I've ever received and this is what I gave everyone last year - Tie blankets. You can make them in all sorts of sizes (for babies, for kids, a simple throw, a full length blanket for tall people, etc.) and colors / designs to fit the person's decor or personality. Instructions are super easy. It's just a little tedious to tie all those knots. I got my Nemo blanket 2-3 years ago and I shit you not, I use it
everyday. Both me and my dog lol.
This isn't my blanket but the Nemo pattern is the same as mine. My liner is a lighter blue shade that's in the pattern. Machine washable, super warm and cozy, everyone can benefit from one of these.

Ohh, and price? Depends on what and how much fabric you choose. I'd say anywhere from $10 - $30 max. I averaged about $15 / blanket last year.

Monkey Bread - great to bring to parties or dinners. And works great as a cheap and easy holiday gift for a family.
MONKEY BREAD
1 (1 lb.) loaf frozen bread dough
1 stick butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Thaw bread dough. Melt butter. Mix cinnamon and sugar in bowl. Dip rolled pieces of dough into melted butter (I make various sizes - some bite size - some a bit larger,) then in cinnamon / sugar mixture. Stack alternately in bundt pan. Cover and put in warm place; let rise until double in size, 1 to 3 hours. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Immediately after baking, turn out on a plate (something decorative) while warm.
TIPS: Frozen dough may be purchased in a package containing 5 (1 pound) rolls of dough. This bread may be baked regular, without the cinnamon mixture, or you can make more batches of monkey bread. Monkey bread freezes well; wrap individual servings in tin foil to heat at a later date. Serves 8 to 10.
