Get It. Gift It Holiday Gift Guide: Last Minute Gifts Because You Procrastinated

Holiday Gift Ideas Because You Procrastinated



Admit it - you are a total slacker who waits till the last minute to do everything. And Christmas shopping is no exception.

Now, you're completely lost on what to get people for the holidays... All your fault. Take a minute to let it sink in that you're f*&^$#. With 4 days left before Christmas, you need presents - STAT.

If you've accomplished nothing (congrats) as far as your holiday gifts are concerned, you can still bail yourself out with my cheap and cheerful gift ideas:

1. DIY something.
Making something from the heart has meaning and impact in terms of a gift. It shows that you put your time and effort into making something special and unique. Something you can't just find at a store.

You can fill a frame with photos of your travels together, or special times from 2014. Use photos from each month, or special dates that represent cherished memories.

Or, head to the craft store, get some chalkboard paint, slap it on a mason jar and customize it with chalk. Super cheap. Super easy.


2. The art of disguise
Wrapping a gift inside another gift gives the illusion of a bigger gift. Drugstores are a great place to find quirky gifts like nail polish sets, makeup brushes or perfume sets. Find one that you can take apart, and place everything inside a makeup case. She'll get use out of everything!


3. Brave the elements... and just go to the damn store.
No half-assing this gift. The person you are shopping for will know that you procrastinated if you show up with a janky gift. One of the things I do love to recieve every year is a new scarf and glove set. I tend to lose lose the gloves anyway. This combo gift is practical, stylish and will be put to a lot of use in the winter!
