Last Minute Gift Ideas
If you find yourself scrambling for some last minute gift ideas, don’t panic. The following suggestions will help you find something that is just right:
Yummy Treats: Food makes a great holiday gift. Everyone eats, so everyone can use it! If you like to bake, make some cookies or candies and put them in a decorative box or tin. Another option is to buy the food already made. Some items, like a cake, will only need a bow.
Say Cheese: If you have a photo of the person you are giving the gift to (or a picture of their child, spouse, dog, etc) you can create a personalized gift in seconds. All you need to do is print out the picture and stick it into a frame. If you don’t have a photo, a picture frame still makes a great gift.
Gift Baskets: Creating your own gift basket is easier than you think – and it will look like you spent much more time on it than you actually did!
If there is a movie fan on your list, throw together a gift certificate to a video rental store, a box of microwave popcorn and some candy.
If you know someone who is always on the go, encourage them to relax with a box of tea, a mug, some bath salts, and gossip magazine.
A few small items packaged together nicely can turn into a great present!
