1. $5 gift card for a coffee shop and make this
Warm & Fuzzy Coffee Cup Holder
Using a paper coffee cup holder as a template, cut out holder from fun fur, arctic or polar fleece, or old sweatshirt. If desired, trim edges with ribbon. Attach Velcro to each short end. Totally unique. I made one and everyone in the office wants it
2. Go to your local gourmet type shop and pick up a special jar of jam in a unique flavor or honey.
3.Pier One has these bells you can shake $4
4. Give a gift card for a fast food restaurant and attach a coupon for that place.....they will get more for their money
5. Funky Luggage tag: everyone buys black and navy blue luggage and it's hard to identify your bag. This helps the person know which is theirs when it comes off the ramp.
6. At the liquor commision they sell these chocolate cups to have shooters. I have also seen them at an italian specialty food shop. $4.99
7. Get an italian loaf of bread it's usually in a cardboard box. I don't know the name of it but it is sooo good.
8. Pointsetta plant a mini one
9. Christmas CD or even a movie at Walmart. They have movies 2/$10 bin
10. Canadian Tire sells these hats that look like they are plaid in the shape of a santa hat and they have ear flaps. $3.99
11. Bath and Body Works anitbacterial soap 3/$10....just give one and a little box of chocolates.
12. Glade airfreshener candle in the apple cinnamon flavor. They are great.
13. Car scaper
14. Gift Certificate for a car wash
15. Car airfreshener
16. Buy the bird seed in the shape of a bell $1.99 at Walmart. Also include a device that changes a 2L or 1L pop bottle into a bird feeder $3 at Canadian tire. Also have seen in bird accessory stores.
17. Suet Feeder and suet for the birds -Walmart
18. Folgers Halzelnut Coffee - love this stuff!!!

A $5 gift card to the nicest restaurant in town is good for a laugh.

I always go with gift cards when I can't figure out what to get. Even if it's $5 towards a really nice restaurant or something, they'll like it. I always like the mall-wide gift cards because they can use them at ANY store in the mall.

How about a toy, like:
Play-Doh. Even for an adult, it feels awesome to squeeze.
One of those squishy rubber balls with lots of spikes coming out of it. (Also fun to hold and play with)
a small LEGO set, like one of the racers. (It's just fun to make a little car for your desk or home.)
Other ideas:
Christmas ornament (make sure everyone celebrates Christmas)
$5 gift card to a place where $5 can actually buy something (Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, grocery store, McDonald's, etc.)
a canvas grocery bag
plant
tin of peppermint bark
make cookies
key chain
unisex hand lotion
AA batteries. (Seriously, who couldn't use extra AA batteries?)
go to the Barnes and Noble Bargain area and find something cheap and fun

5 items from the dollar section in target! =)
or a cute in-expensive candy set with different types of chocolate in it...
or a $5 gift card to somewhere. (possible american express, so they can spend it anywhere)
hmm.. this is a tough one...
good luck=)

I'd get $5.00 in either lottery tickets - maybe the ones to scratch off OR a $5.00 Starbucks or local coffee shop gift card with a newspaper (current of course) attached as a unique idea! GET CREATIVE!!
