If you're in a bind on last-minute holiday or birthday shopping, these 10 unique gift ideas have you covered. These ideas are categorized for everyone on your list. 

1. For the beer snob: an assorted case or six-pack.  Many stores, including World Market, offer the opportunity to build your own six-pack out of a variety of artisan and microbrewed beer. If someone loves sampling different beers, get them wild and wacky flavors like jalapeño or mixed fruit. Are they a stout, IPA, or ESB fan? Select six different varieties of their favorite kind.
2. For your dad: a personalized mixed CD. It's the mix tape of the new Millenium. Head to iTunes or Amazon and buy MP3s from his favorite bands. For more options, pick theme songs from shows or movies he'd watch when he was younger.
3. For your siblings: a nostalgic goodie basket. Remember all the things you and your siblings used to gorge on when you were younger? Treat them to a nostalgic picnic of all your favorite candies, cakes, and goodies from your childhood.
