Last Minute Gift Ideas

 Are you still looking for that perfect gift for someone on your list but just don't know what to get? Did you forget about the office Holiday Party that is tomorrow and need a gift? Below are some gift ideas that don't take much time and can easily be tailored for the recipient.

Gift Baskets – Put together a gift basket or box full of items related to the recipients interest. For someone that likes to read, a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, a sampling of specialty teas, some cookies or crackers and you have a wonderful gift that they are sure to enjoy. Or for a gardener, packs of a variety of seeds, gift certificate to their favorite nursery, a water bottle, a pair of gardening gloves and you have a gift that any gardener would appreciate. A gift basket full of snacks, munchies and sweets would be a good gift for the holiday party.

E-Gift Cards – These are basically gift certificates that can be emailed to the recipient. When giving any type of gift card make sure the store you choose is a store that the recipient visits or would enjoy a shopping spree. Remember giving gift cards is essentially giving money and can also show that not much thought was given to choosing the gift.

Gift of the Month Clubs – You can find a Gift of the Month Club for almost anything from pickles to earrings. So finding a gift of the month club for that hard to buy for person on your list just got a little easier. Most Gift of the Month Club companies offer a “gift announcement” that you can print so you will have a gift to give the recipient. If they don't you can easily create a announcement with a card explaining the gift and how it works. You can also give a related gift with the announcement to give it a special touch. For example, if the Gift of the Month is flowers, you could give a nice watering can, for a Wine Gift of the Month Club give a pair of wine glasses, or for Earrings of the Month Club give an earring tree with the announcement.

Photos – Everyone loves pictures and this is especially a good gift idea for grandparents. Take some of your favorite photos of the grandkids and put them in a nice frame. There are also companies that you can email a photo and they can put it on a mock magazine cover, or create a caricature and email it to you to print.

Shop Online – Many retailers will offer next day delivery on gifts if ordered within a certain time. Always check for order processing times and the delivery charges.
