Gift giving doesn't have to be as difficult as we make it. Sometimes it's as easy as figuring out what people already have and then giving them something that goes along with it. A perfect example of this is shopping for people who own iPhones. Finding gifts for iPhone users can be as simple as hunting down iPhone accessories that would be useful to them.

There are lots of different routes to take when it comes to gifts for iPhone owners — especially the ones who keep their phones by their side 24/7 and rarely "unplug." On the Apple site alone, for instance, there are 11 different categories listed underneath iPhone Accessories, including Accessibility, Cases & Protection, Creativity. Best of all, there are a ton of options within each section, giving you a large selection to choose from if you're shopping for a gift or just treating yourself this busy holiday season. And prices vary across the board, whether you're shopping at Apple or another retailer, so you're bound to discover something special within your price range. All you have to do is figure out what device your family or friend uses the most, and then shop based on that.

Here are 16 gifts all the iPhone owners in your life won't want to put down:
