- </a>It’s the day before Christmas and you’re still scrambling to get a few last minute items. Yes, we know things happen. No worries! Here are a few gift suggestions straight from <a href="http://www.blackenterprise.com/blogs/2009/09/09/my-powerful-life-as-mrs-buy-black-america/" target="_blank">Mrs. Buy-Black America</a>, Maggie Anderson, of <a href="http://eefortomorrow.com/EE_Home.html" target="_blank">The Empowerment Experiment</a>.

- </a>Kids can recognize the signature golden arches from practically anywhere. Hence, purchasing a gift card from a Black-owned McDonald's is a nice treat for young ones.

- A Steve Harvey suit might be a good look for the guy in your life.

- </a>If a suit is not up his alley, a more relaxed ensemble from <a href="http://www.seanjohn.com/" target="_blank">Sean Jean</a> will do the trick.

- </a>For ladies, skin and/or hair care products from <a href="http://www.carolsdaughter.com/" target="_blank">Carol's Daughter</a> will give that spa-like feel without leaving the confines of your home.

- </a>If hair care is what you're looking for, <a href="http://www.missjessies.com/site/index.htm" target="_blank">Miss Jessie's Original</a> and <a href="http://www.blackenterprise.com/tv-video/business-report/2010/10/25/mixing-hair-products-with-mixed-chicks/" target="_blank">Mixed Chicks</a> tame unruly manes and make for increased manageability.

- </a>The entire household can benefit from a subscription to a <a href="http://www.blackenterprise.com/lifestyle/2010/12/16/behind-the-scenes-of-our-50-cent-cover-shoot/">Black-owned magazine</a> or newspaper.

- For the intellectual in your life, pay for the registration fee for a conference (like our <strong><a href="http://www.blackenterprise.com/wps/">Women of Power Summit</a></strong>, February 23-26, 2011).

- </a>Give a membership to a Black-owned wine club such as one found through <a href="http://www.heritagelinkbrands.com/" target="_blank">Heritage Link Brands, LLC</a>. It's free to join. The only cost incurred is for tax and shipping associated with each type of membership. As an Africa Enthusiasts member, you receive 3 bottles every 3 months and Continent Connoisseurs will receive 6 bottles every 3 months. Toast to that!
