Well, it's officially Christmas once again! You wake up in a panic, realizing that you have forgotten to buy gifts for everyone on your list. With only mere hours before the guests arrive/going to your family's in the country/your dog wakes up, you need some last minute presents, and fast.
We all procrastinate sometimes, but you have really taken it to a new level this year, and I mean Guinness Book worthy. Most stores are closed on Christmas (and rightfully so) so you will need to get creative. If you aren't the creative type, or you're just plain lazy, never fear; the last-minute holiday gift guide is here!
What to get for:
The Condescending Mother-in-Law
Give her a candle from the collection of candles you keep in that one cabinet but never actually burn. Why do you have a cabinet full of candles, you ask? Well, it's because everyone gifts candles when they don't really know you know what to buy you, and everyone just loves candles, even that witch, Priscilla.
The Men In Your Life
Not sure what to get your boyfriend/husband/son/nephew/dad/uncle/brother/grandfather/random guy your sister is dating? Look no further than those sweatshirts you stole from your ex (while you were still dating). And if you run out of/can't part with those, how about those freshly-washed coffee mugs, still hanging in the dishwasher--you're single and live alone, how many coffee mugs do you really need?
Your Mother
If your mom is a cool mom, she always says she doesn't want anything for Christmas. Usually, you get her something anyway. This year, feel accomplished knowing that you are finally granting her her most requested Christmas wish: A confetti-filled box of nothing.
Your Sister
Remember that dress you borrowed from her a few years ago and conveniently "forgot" to give it back, secretly hoping she even owned it in the first place? Well, imagine how happy and surprised she will be when you give her that dress; she will most likely exclaim, "That's exactly my style, how did you know? (This one also works well for best friends.
The People You Always Forget About
How is it that you are related, again? Well whoever they are, they are somehow part of the family (?) and show up every year. You aren't well enough acquainted to know where they're from or even what their names are, but chances are they know everything about you.
Candles are a must for this crew, especially since it puts them level with your mother-in-law, and you just love getting under Priscilla's skin sometimes! Unlike Priscilla, who gets the nastiest smelling candle you have, these lovely relatives will bask in the warm scents of "Winter", "Evergreen", and "Watermelon" (Yum!).
