(ARA) - With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, buying personalized gifts for everyone on your shopping list can be stressful and exhausting — not to mention expensive. Since the holidays are about bringing family together — why not buy one gift that the whole family can share? Try adding these items to your shopping list to keep the entire family happy at the holidays — and the whole year round.

Avoid Boredom with Board Games
Keep the whole family together and entertained throughout the year with board games. Time-tested favorites, like Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit or Monopoly are always sure to please, or check out the game aisle at your local retailer for this year’s hottest game craze. For families that like more action, try an interchangeable gaming table. Whether in the mood for air hockey, ping pong or foosball, the tables can be easily changed for some active competition. No matter what game you choose, your loved ones will have years of fun, family time.

From Tired to Inspired
After days of shopping and socializing, everyone needs a little time to relax and rejuvenate. Why not treat your family members to a spa experience — in their own bathroom! By simply upgrading to a new showerhead, each family member can gain a daily dose of pleasure.

Moen’s Inspire line of fixed or handheld multi-setting showerheads or nine-inch rainshower offers the perfect shower experience for each member of the family. Whether they like a targeted massage, a relaxing spray, a combination or an invigorating rainshower, these showerheads are sure to please each personalized taste. Available at Lowe’s, the Inspire three-, five- or seven-setting showerheads, in Chrome, White or Brushed Nickel finishes, and the nine-inch rainshower, in Chrome, are easy to install and coordinate with any bathroom décor. No matter which you choose, your family will silently thank you each day of the year as they are enveloped in a relaxing shower experience.

Now That’s the Ticket!
Whether your loved ones are into arts or sports — tickets to their favorite events are an ideal way to bring them together for a memory-creating experience and something to look forward to once the holiday festivities are over. Check out online resources, like Ticketmaster.com, to locate the next musical, opera, festival, concert or sporting event coming to the area.

Bring the Movies Home
Everyone loves the movies, so give your family a never-ending movie night. Simply enroll them in an online movie rental program, such as Netflix or Blockbuster.com, which will bring the movies right to their mailbox. And to add to the enjoyment of their home theater experience, don’t forget the munchies. Finish off your gift with a family-sized snack basket filled with microwave popcorn, peanuts and their favorite candy treats. And remind them, sharing is a must!

Capture the Memories
Family photos are a great way to capture the memories of the holiday season — and a great gift! Once you identify that perfect family photo, have it enlarged, matted and framed to create a beautiful portrait for the whole family to enjoy for a lifetime. If you can’t decide which photo is the absolute best — use multiple photos to create a year-long family calendar. Each month, your family members can be reminded of the fun times together. If you are short on photos — now is the time to create these memories. A gift certificate for a professional photography sitting is a great way to get everyone together when they’re looking their best. Soon they’ll have a family portrait to capture the season for eternity.

When you start your holiday shopping this year, forget the sweaters and scarves that will be long forgotten by spring. Instead, focus on gifts that the whole family will enjoy for months — or even years — to come.
