Gifts
Gifts can cover so many items.  We will not attempt to list them all but give you some guidance on
the catagory.  One of the first things we would advise is to specialize.  Gift websites used to be the
rage, they would carry thousands and thousands of different items and people would give up
because their sales were slow.  They never catered to a niche market and are not able to nail
certain key words in google to create an authority website.  This is the goal.  Pick a niche,
specialize in one particular item and go after it.  Gifts are a good catagory, people are always
looking for something to give that is unique.  The key here is to be creative and pick something
that you like.  If you are interested in that area, then you will passionate about improving it.

Crafts are a hot item right now.  So are kits.  If you can make a kit available, they always seem to to
do better.  Make sure you read all you can on this subject.
