Great gifts for the holiday season



(ARA) - It's that time of year again when you wonder what to give those impossible-to-buy-for loved ones on your gift list. You know; the ones who are so noncommittal it's hard to know what they want, but who secretly hope you'll figure it out.

But fear not, holiday shoppers. The following gift ideas are sure to make those hard-to-buy-for folks think you dreamed up the ideal present all by yourself.

Read on to read their minds:

For the snacker.

Snacking is synonymous with the holiday season, but with the abundance of tempting, fattening treats available, choosing snacks that fill you up and not out, is not always easy. Satisfy your snack lover with the gift of guilt-free snacking this holiday season. This year, slide a bag of Jack Link's Jerky in your snacker's stocking. Made with premium cuts of beef, pork, turkey or chicken, Jack Link's snacks taste great, and are naturally high in protein and low in fat, calories and carbs. Here are a few of this year's trendiest, tastiest, stocking stuffers:

* The "Classic:" Jack Link's Original Beef Jerky

* The "Night Out:" Jack Link's Steakhouse Recipe Beef Jerky

* The "Just like Mom Makes:" Jack Link's Oven Roasted Turkey Nuggets

Jack Link's Jerky is available in grocery stores, mass retailers, convenience and drug stores nationwide.

(Suggested retail price per 3.25 ounce bag: $5.99)

For the angler. Your loved one could be angling for a gift like this one.

Make sure the angler on your list has the latest go-to lures from Rapala, the Clackin' Crank and Clackin' Minnow. Designed to target multiple species, these fishing lures feature a single stainless steel ball that transmits a loud cadence rattle that fish not only hear but feel as the lures produce vibrations through the water, while their hard-flashing side-to-side action calls fish in for the bite. Both lures feature translucent textured bodies with internal holographic foil and are available in 16 must-have color patterns and two sizes. And, if the weather keeps your angler indoors, check out Rapala's new video game, Rapala Pro Bass Fishing, available for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS.

(Suggested retail price for lures: $12.99 - $13.99)

(Suggested retail price for video game: $49.99 - $69.99) (with controller), $39.99 (without controller)

For the music lover. MP3 players make perfect stocking stuffers.

This year, an MP3 player is sure to be a highly requested gift whether it's for a son or daughter, mom or dad or anyone else on your wish list. MP3 players come in a variety of price points and hold more than just music. The majority now hold videos, pictures and some even have access to the Internet, along with the ability to play games. You can even personalize the MP3 player by choosing your recipients' favorite color and size. Whether placed in a stocking or wrapped as a gift, the smiles and excitement that will come when unwrapping this gift will last all season long.
(Check with your local electronics store or other retail locations.)

For the workout enthusiast. Form meets function with sports watches.

Whether you work out every day, a couple times a week or are looking to start, keeping track of those workout essentials can be easy with a new sports watch. Today, watches don't just keep track of time or distance. A variety of sports watches now feature a heart rate monitor, speed and distance tracking, data transfer capabilities from the watch to your computer, workout session history recording, pace alerts and some even allow you to train against a digital person. Some sports watches also come with a chip that attaches to your running shoe, tracking further data.
