Choosing a single gift that an entire family can enjoy may help resolve some of the problem by reducing the list to one single gift purchase.
  
  

Movies

• Many families enjoy time together watching movies. A gift subscription to a movie rental service supplies them with a variety of choices for their viewing pleasure. For example, NetFlix offers subscribers a choice between receiving movies in DVD format in the mail or watching movies online. The service promises delivery of DVD rentals in one business day. Online movies are available immediately. Gift subscriptions buyers should be aware that purchases are not refundable.
  
  

Games

These often make very convenient gifts to give, as many companies selling edible gifts will ship the selection to the recipient.
