As much as I love Christmas and shopping, i’m not sure that I really enjoy the two together at least — not in the month of December. For one thing, large crowds at stores usually mean that I won’t really get a chance to think about what i’m shopping for (as large crowds of people in stores generally mean that shoppers are moved along like cattle). You get all of 2.2-seconds to look at an item before you become “in the way”.
As the big day will be upon us shortly and i’m not quite done with my Christmas shopping yet — I have come up with a list of great last minute gifts that won’t have you fighting the crowds!
1. Amazon.com Gift Card — Great for someone who owns a Kindle and / or who absolutely loves shopping online.
2. Lynda.com Subscription — Got a technology / web geek in the family? He or she will love you for this!
3. berries.com (aka Shari’s Berries) – Have it delivered by Christmas! Cute and unique gift baskets with delectable treats!
4. Christmas goodies basket — Now this one truly comes from the heart! Make a little gift basket and fill it up with delicious Christmas cookies and candy treats.
5. Mixed CD — Got some great tunes? Make a special holiday mixed CD for the loved on in your life. They can enjoy it in the car on the way to work or school.
6. Tigerdirect.com Gift Card — for the person in your life who loves electronics!
7. FragranceNet.com — You can get some lovely name brand perfume or cologne for discounted prices.
Of course, when all else fails and you find yourself racing to find a last minute gift on the way to a party or get-together, you can always stop at your local Walgreen’s or CVS Pharmacy. They usually have some neat items that would make great Christmas gifts! 
Merry Christmas everyone and happy shopping!
