Ack!  Where did December go?  It's already the 21st, and you still have gifts you have to buy!  Breathe, people, breathe!  We're here for you!  Here are 9 last-minute gifts:



1.  Gift cards


The obvious choice.  A lot of grocery stores now sell gift cards from everything from chain restaurants to Itunes to high-end retail stores.  Really desperate?  Lot of sites send email gift certificates so shipping time is virtually nil.


2.  Amazon.com


Today is the last day to order and have your gift shipped by Christmas for free if you sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime (or if you have Amazon Prime).  You can order as late as December 23rd if you use the $3.99 one-day shipping.  You can cancel within one month if you don't like the Amazon Prime service.


3.  Ornaments


Stop into your local Michaels, Hallmark store, or Target to purchase ornaments that won't break the budget (but will be kept for years to come).


4.  Homemade coupons


Know something that your giftee wants, and they don't have a gift card for it?  Don't want to just fork over cash?  Make a homemade coupon that your friend or family member can "cash in" later on.  Great for lessons, classes, etc.


5.  Harry and David gift basket


Give the gift of deliciousness.  They'll even upgrade you to express delivery for free.  Pass us the Moose Munch.


6.  Netflix


Give the gift of deliciousness... in movies!  Customize the Netflix membership you want to purchase.  Then, you can simply print out the information and stick it in a card.  Perfecto for movie buffs. 


7.  Restaurant.com


Find a favorite restaurant local to your gift recipient, and purchase a $25 gift card... for $10!  Heck, buy two!


8.  Pre-paid phone cards


Great for those who live far from home, especially people whose family lives out of the country.


9.  Clean house


Offer up maid service to a busy mom, an elderly relative, or to a friend who simply hates cleaning.  Or cook someone a divine dinner!

I am not being sarcastic....a cardboard box....let me explain! There is a book...I think if you google fun with cardboard boxes or ideas with cardboard boxes you will get the link to the book. You can make a kitchen, a horse, a fire truck, etc.... Our kids love to do this and it has been used as a great training for child care providers....the kids can even help you make the items or surprise them this year underneath the tree!
