NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2006
(CBS) This time of year, most of us face a challenge: What do we get for people we want to give a gift to, but don't know really well? Folks such as hostesses, coworkers, teachers, neighbors and everyone in between. On The Early Show Tuesday, master stylist Colin Cowie shared ideas that can help. And a bonus: These items might also fit the bill for people you know well, but who are hard to please.

These perfect gifts range from wonderful foods to one-ofa- kind personalized gifts and those with a little bit of bling.

There's something for everyone on your holiday gift list. Cowie's suggestions, and comments:

Glitz
What's a holiday without a little glitz? Everyone is all about bling-bling these days, so here are a few fun glitzy gifts:

This is simply the most glamorous way to talk on your cell phone. Get it customized in any color crystal you want; match it to your phone.

∞ Csquared by Colin Cowie for Wal-Mart mirrored picture frames, $20 for 3, www.walmart.com

These frames look fabulous anywhere, and they're only $20 for the set of three.

Personalizing is very hot right now, and a personalized gift for anyone shows that you took the extra time to really think about him or her and add that special touch.

∞ Personalized Stamp, $40, www.finestationery.com

This is a great gift because it can be used to personalize so many things: stationery, cocktail napkins, books. It can also be made as a return address stamp.

∞ Cardways Gift Card, $5 plus amount of gift, www.cardways.com

For anyone who loves gift cards, this is a new way to personalize the gift card: Send in a picture you want on two-thirds of the card, and the store name is on the last third. That way, you're not just giving a gift card; you've gone that extra step to make it personal.
