It's almost shocking to find a person who dislikes chocolate, so the sweet, rich, year-round favorite is usually a safe bet. The Chocolate Spike, next to the Caf at Champs, has a counter full of different truffles, and who wouldn't want a nice assortment? This can give you the chance to play on all the different flavors your lucky friend might like, as well as showcase your knowledge of his or her favorite kind of chocolate. Basically, there are the big three: milk, dark, and white. It's possible to like all three, or only like one, but everyone has a favorite. If your friends aren't chocolate fiends, they might still enjoy a variety of cookies from Crumb and Get It, or you could always cook them their favorite meal.

Xanadu, the shop on the corner of Roanoke and Main, can only be described as eclectic. Here one is sure to find a great gift for under $20. They have wine and martini glasses in every conceivable design, even stainless steel. I also found (and I'm still not sure if it was a hallucination or not) Andy Warhol lips. I don't know what they are, but I feel like everyone should own a pair. This last idea is really simple, perhaps the simplest, but it just might yield the best results. No one ever subscribes to magazines, so why not order your friend a year's worth of whatever you think they would enjoy the most? Rolling Stone offers 22 issues for $15. This way, your friend is practically forced to think about you the entire year, or at least once a month for an entire year. For your friends who don't attend Virginia Tech, a subscription to the Collegiate Times is sure to warm their hearts.

As much as i agree that pets are never an appropriate gift (it's like saying merry christmas, here's a great big ball of responibility) cats are not a waste of time, and it's clear to me by saying this, you have never met a cat who was properly cared for. They are wonderful, affectionate pets that when treated properly are just as loyal and affectionate as dogs(not to mention easier to care for). Reading your article was a waste of time. My wonderful cats are not.

Let's not forget a site like Amazon.com which has great deals all the time and they will gift wrap for you and everything. Spend $25 and the shipping is free. May not be less than $20 but considering it will probably cost you more to buy something around here and then ship it off. It is a great way to get cheap things sent off to family and friends without having to actually go out in the cold.
