It's that time of year again - time to begin thinking of the perfect Christmas gift for each person on your list. If you're like most people, the thought of buying Christmas gifts fills you with a unique mixture of excitement and dread. There's excitement at the prospect of finding that perfect present that will bring a look of delight to the eyes of your recipient. And then there's the dread of having to traipse through store after store, heading down the small kitchen appliances aisle or the small electronics aisle only to find that the Christmas gift you're looking for is sold out. The trick is always to find the one place that has it all - everything from camping items to a knife sharpener - so that family shopping can be the pleasure that it should be.

The best scenario of all is when you can find one online store that has everything you're looking for. With a few clicks of your mouse, you can get all of your family shopping done and save money with combined shipping charges. Online stores are also a great way to get ideas for the perfect Christmas gift. After perusing some of the best online sources for family shopping, we've found some terrific items that will not only look beautiful under the tree, but will also bring smiles to the faces of your family members:

Small kitchen appliances: With the popularity of coffee concoctions and specialty blends, an espresso/cappuccino maker is the perfect Christmas gift for the caffeine addict in the family or the wannabe barista. A travel iron is a great fit for the college student, especially when her dorm room places a premium on space. Small kitchen appliances like indoor grills are always popular, as are steamers that double as rice cookers. Your recipient will never have to face the frustration of watery rice again!

Small electronics: Family shopping is sure to be a success with small electronics. There are many to choose from, but the new iPods are sure to be a hit, as are other portable electronics. Mobile DVD players with wireless modulators will please recipients of all ages, as will a digital camera and photo printer.

Camping Items: Camping is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, and even though it's the middle of winter, you can still give a Christmas gift that makes your family member look forward to spring. Camping items like sleeping bags and tents are great, but a compass or GPS system will let your loved know that you don't want him to get lost on his adventure.

Wherever you shop for a Christmas gift, and whatever you choose - whether it's small electronics, small kitchen appliances, camping items, or a knife sharpener - keep in mind that family shopping should be fun. After all, it is better to give than to receive!
