Personalized baby gift

Some people are easy to buy for, some are hard. Some folks love to shop till they drop to find the perfect gift--and some just don't. To make the holiday rush just a bit less hectic, here's a head start: Forty-eight gifts ranging from the platonic to the romantic, from under the tree to out on the driveway. You might not go with one of our choices, but an hour or so on the Web can lead you to all kinds of options on these sites, shippable to your home, office or to a convenient address on your next business trip or vacation. There are gifts for her, for him, for toddlers and for teens. All prices are without published discounts (which can change) and don't include shipping or taxes, but they can get you into the ballpark on your budget and, perhaps, be a source for good ideas as well as good cheer.
