It’s the eleventh hour, and you find yourself empty-handed on the gift front. What can you do to stay in the good graces of your nearest and dearest? Deep breath, holiday procrastinators! The clock may be ticking, but there’s no reason you cant grab some fab gifts before time runs out.
Gourmet gadgets and gorgeous glassware are gifts that keep on giving for the entertainer in your life. Snag a killer bar tool set for your favorite mixologist or a special kitchen appliance, like a pasta maker in your loved ones favorite color.
Your list call for something more homebody appropriate? No need to bust your budget on a flat screen for your favorite sofa spud. Luxe and comfy throws and pillows enhance the viewing experience for a reasonable entry price.
One of our primary gift giving rules? No perfumes or body sprays. You’re getting into issues of body chemistry, not just personal taste, so trust us on this. That said, not all scent products are off the table. Candles can be a great way to invoke a shared memory, like a great past ski trip, or beach vacay.
Got a stressed-out mom or overworked paper pusher in your midst? The gift of pampering is always a crowd pleaser. Offer up some indulgence in a home spa kit or some high end products your recipient may be too selfless to consider purchasing for themselves.
Have some confidence and think personal and practical. It really is the thought that counts after all, so it’s up to you not to make the gift thoughtless. Cull from chats and shared experiences, and you’re sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
