We all make them, but we don’t all stick to them. New Year’s resolutions can get the best of us, but with a little support from some helpful gifts we may not need to make the same resolutions next year. We’ll be looking back on 2009 with a sense of accomplishment.

Goal: Save Money

It’s a common goal. We all want more money in the bank. Gifts can help make that happen. Give a copy of the bestselling Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. It’s a book that will help readers get out of debt and create wealth using some basic principles. Give your loved one an Entertainment Book and help them save money in dozens of local restaurants and stores.

Goal: Lose Weight

So you want to shed the holiday weight. Getting fit is a typical resolution. Make 2009 different by helping your friends and family jump-start their routine. An iPod Shuffle will keep them energized and fired up. Or for a really nice gift, try the Wii Fit. It combines fun with fitness. Or help them get their abs ready for swimsuit season with the The Firm Core Stability Ball. New gear can always be a great motivator.

Goal: Get Organized

Want to clear the clutter and get organized in ‘09? Give the gift of organization with this cosmetic organizer. It will clean up one of the craziest spots in the house: the make-up drawer. Help a busy family get organized in the new year with a Busy Body Book. It features five columns so each family member can include their schedules side-by-side.

Goal: Quit Smoking

Know someone trying to kick the habit this year? Help them along with products that will support their efforts. Pick up some nicotine gum or lozenges along with a promise of a nice reward once they’ve stopped smoking.

Goal: Enjoy Life More

Make 2009 a year to remember. Give your loved one a day at the spa, dinner at a unique restaurant, or tickets to a great event. Or help them remember those special moments more by giving them a digital camera.
