I recently adopted a cat from the , and ever since, I've been quite obsessed with my little fur-baby. If anyone on your shopping list is a pet owner, chances are they feel the same about their lovable companion. Airedale Antics to the rescue! This local pet supply store has everything any doting pet owner would want for their furry friend.

Pick up some all-natural Gingerbread Bark Bars ($5.99) for the pet lover on your holiday list.

You'll be hard pressed to find anyone on your holiday gift list who doesn't appreciate chocolate.

Pick up a box of Hot Chocolate Mix ($6); with flavors like Semi-Sweet, Mexican, Mint, Chai, and good old Milk Chocolate, there's something for everyone. For a quick and easy stocking stuffer, pick up the popular Sea Salt Caramels ($6). These morsels combine sweet chocolate and caramel with crunchy salt. However, the item that caught my eye? The Marshmallow Pies ($4). This super sweet treat features a shell of decadent chocolate surrounding the fluffiest marshmallow you'll ever sink your teeth into. Sinful.

When all else fails, the gift of food is always a winner during the holidays. Camille's Sidewalk Café in Brentwood is the perfect spot to pick up a gift card for anyone on your shopping list.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I can't cook. Oh, I can follow a recipe with limited success, but when it comes to whipping up something from scratch? I can't do it. So when , I was super excited to check it out. This local business operates under a simple concept: customers come in, pick which meals they'd like to prepare (Chicken Roulade, Japanese Steak, and Maine Seafood Bake are just a few of this month's options), and Time for Dinner provides the ingredients, the workspace, and cleanup. Assemble your meal, take it home, and pop in the oven. Done! A gift certificate to Time for Dinner would make an excellent stocking stuffer; better yet, prepare a few meals here yourself to take as a gift for a busy mom, grandparent, or neighbor.
