Are you perhaps procrastinating because you do not know what to get some people on your list?  Are any of them gourmets, gourmands, chefs, cooks, or foodies?  If so, give them something that fires their passion: give them a cookbook.

Even though the internet has many really great recipe sites, food blogs, and cooking demonstrations, a good cookbook is a completely unique food experience.  Most cookbooks have recipes for all experience levels and they go into more depth about specific techniques and ingredients than most websites can.  Sometimes the little tips and hints scattered throughout are the difference between kitchen brilliance and disaster.
