What to buy every person on your list

It's that time of year again, where everyone rushes to the nearest shopping center after battling road rage and stumble around looking for anything that will fit that perfect someone in their life.

Gift giving should be more science and art and less chaos and havoc. Use our guide to get started on ideas. Then create a list of people you need to buy for, a few ideas for each and then head to the store. With a plan in place, life is so much easier.

For the tech geeks

$100: A great phone case can be almost worth its weight in silver. Consider that spending $70 on a Lifeproof case can save an $800 iPhone 6 from certain doom in a bathtub and this gift is a sure hit (or at least protection from the blow).

Or more: Navdy offers a transparent heads-up display on your windshield from your smartphone for great hands-free access. For $300, it uses touchless navigation — just swipe your hand left or right in front of the display to swipe through the notifications you set to receive from your phone.

For her

$5-10: It might not last forever, but an infinity scarf sure comes close. With winter upon us, Las Vegans tend to forget to dress for the cold. A scarf is always handy.

For the traveler — young or old

$5-10: Luggage tags can be a truly personal gift that reflect someone's interests while standing out from the crowd. Choose a Lego brick, author-inspired tags or even a flip flop for flair.

$25: A journal about traveling the 50 states is a great way to both set a goal and create memories for a lifetime. Or for a more worldly alternative, an international map from uncommongoods.com allows you to scratch off areas of travel.

Buy it online or at any of the national parks locations (Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Lake Mead National Recreation Area). But wait.

$100: Critics agree, the X Rocker II is the best video game chair for comfort and position. Just be careful, you might not get them out to study.

Or more: For about $300, teens can have an even better excuse for ignoring their parents. Bose noise-canceling headphones offer premium sound and none of the background noise that tends to seep in. They're also great for in-flight tunes.

For young children
