Gift Solutions for That Hard to Buy for Loved One
Do you have friends and family members on your list who seem to have everything? Can your friends and family members be hard to buy for? If so we have some suggestions.
Make a Donation to an Organization They Support

For starters consider making a donation in their honor to a charity that you know they like to support. There is no higher good than that. If your friend or family member is an animal lover remember there are no shortages of good causes right here in our own community. Take a look at Iredell County Animal Services and Control, Lake Norman Animal Rescue, Cornelius Animal Shelter, Lake Norman Lucky Cats, Catering to Cats and Dogs and Lake Norman Humane.
Shop Local for That Hard to Buy for Friend

Shopping at Made in Mooresville supports local businesses and services. They offer home decor, gifts and local products. Everything sold at Made in Mooresville comes from within about ten miles! They have a really cool Christmas Tree Coffee and Paint scheduled for December 17. That’s a calm easy way for you to relax for yourself. Here’s a photo of their books for sale. All the books are written by local authors or published locally. I really like the “Jack” books. They are written for the early reader and the protagonist is a cute dog named Jack.
Speaking of painting, Karen Rosenthal Dortschy with Haute Dauge Portraits creates beautiful paintings of your pet from photographs that you provide. She has all the commissioned work she can complete before Christmas but you could certainly purchase a gift certificate so the recipient could choose his or her own photo later in the year.
If your friend or family member is owned by pets he or she may benefit from having their floors cleaned. Todd Kofoed with Bigg Time Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning will make the odors and stains of dirty dogs and cats disappear.
Maybe your friend or family member could use some stress relief. If so check out gift certificates from Your Karma Center for Yoga and Wellness or Bikram Yoga Lake Norman.
Your Karma offers a range of yoga classes and massages. How many ways can we spell r-e-l-a-x-a-t-i-o-n?LKN Bikram offers yoga and pilates classes and loads of workshops. You can’t go wrong with either option.
Food for the Hard to Buy For Friend
For the hungry barbecue lover give a gift certificate from Big Tiny’s BBQ. Those Texans know how to smoke some brisket. The green bean casserole is my favorite side. How about a tin of cheese rings or gourmet chocolates from Gourmet Plantation? If you hurry you probably still have time today to sample some goodies at Daveste Vineyard at the wine, chocolate and cheese event. The Celebration continues until 5:00 PM.
Reading is One of Life’s Greatest Pleasures
We offer great reading suggestions for cat lovers and dog lovers. Scroll down the linked pages to see our recommendations about books and other useful products.
If your hard to buy for person has an established relationship with a local professional pet sitting business they would probably appreciate a gift certificate for cat or dog sitting or dog walking. Just remember to check to see which company your friend or relative uses use because pet sitting is a very personal choice.
