Less than 15 days 'til Christmas, but don't panic about your Christmas shopping. I've found gifts last minute year after year that have never failed to please.
1. Gift cards
It's like free money for them; even better when it's for a stores they often shop at, or restaurants they like.
2. Small gift sets
Sometimes, you can find them pre-made, but I like to get the small things and make them myself. Anything from cozy socks, nail polish, lotion, sprays, and chocolates for ladies to body wash, beef jerky, plain tees, and car-detailing stuff for men.
3. Travel cups or mugs
Because we all know that one family member that just has to take a drink with them every where they go. You can find these for pretty cheap at Walmart or Walgreens, or you can find really nice ones at places like Target and World Market. Either way, they're easy and usable.
4. Bath and shower necessities
I mean, we all take showers, it's nice to remember when we forgot that we ran out of body wash after our last shower that someone gave us some for Christmas and we don't have to go buy some.
5. Scarves and leggings
Pinterest kind of speaks for itself here when you click on "women's fashion" and every outfit contains one of the two or both.
6. House decorations or other home goods
Maybe they're really into one theme in their living room and you just so happen to come across yet another accent they can add to that room. It says you care enough to remember how they like to decorate their living space. I recommend Home Goods, they've got all their themes organized for a quick and easy find.
7. Tech accessories
We all know that one person who always loses their headphones and flies through phone chargers. A nice phone case or iPad cover isn't a bad idea either.
8. Planners and calendars
Everyone's busy nowadays, so why not help them organize themselves? My personal favorites are those desk calendars you can rip off each day, especially the funny jokes, trivia, and e-cards ones.
9. Picture frame and photo
Whether it's one, really nice photo and frame or it's a collage, this gift says personalized to the recipient but says quick and easy on your end.
10. Netflix subscription
Open the account in their name and set an amount of months that you'll pay. They'll get hooked and then they'll take over the payments, or they might binge watch everything in that time frame and then choose not to keep it. Either way, you gave them a gift they used.
