So... these are literally lassssttt minute gift ideas. Lol. It's Christmas Eve, its kind of your last chance... you need something quick, easy and good.
Now these aren't the times to go to the mall... you probably don't want to go to the grocery store, these are quick, easy cheap things... that may get you a little out of trouble. Lol. I'm not saying get these for your wife, girlfriend, mom... but if you're desperate and you don't want to go to the mall... here are some things.
You could always get E-gift cards. Check out what online only stores they like and see if you can get an e-gift card. You could also probably get them from other stores and retailers that are not online only. You could check out Guilt City, they offer discounts on websites... so you can buy a 50 gift card for 40 dollars or something like that.
Scratch off tickets are also a good gift. You can go to your local convenience store and get a few holiday themed ones. These are fun and maybe they'll win some money!
I'd also look at local favorites. Local stores will probably be a little less busy, maybe get a gift card to their favorite restaurant or if theres a jewelry store or something. Bakeries are going to be a little more busy, but if you want to do that... that's good too.
Check out some of their favorite things at CVS. CVS has a little bit of everything at a somewhat reasonable price. They have a lot of beauty things on sale now, they have holiday decor and candy and toys and even some things like blankets and electronics. You could find a lot there to give for Christmas gifts.
Even if you just know what kind of shampoos or something someone uses and maybe gift those and some other hair care and body care things and call it a pamper kit... you can get away with a lot if you can package things cutely. Lol.
Or just candy or food. If someone were to give me Cool Ranch Doritos, Kettle cooked potato chips, some candy like Twix or hershey kisses... I'd be happy.
See what sort of DIY things you can do from things you have in your house. If you have the ingredients to bake some cookies, bake some nice cookies. If you have the things in your house. I just saw a DIY for a gingerbread sugar scrub online, and I think I have all the ingredients for that in my house, and that was kind of cool. I don't have the containers... but still.
My biggest recommendation for this sort of real end of the wire shopping: Make it personal. Get things you know that you know they like. Even if its just candy and snacks from CVS... if you know what they like it can be really nice and personal and they'll know that you like them and took your time to do something for them. It doesn't have to be anything big, because really, it is the thought that counts.
Hope this was a useful last minute post!
Byeee! Happy Hunting!
