Christmas is just over a week away… Are you done shopping, yet? We actually seem to be pretty on top of things for the first time in ages, and I believe I just need to pick up a few stocking stuffers. Well, I guess I need to go grocery shopping, too — but gift-wise, we’re pretty set.
I know what it’s like to be crazy behind on my holiday shopping, though. There have been a good many years of staying up until 4am on Christmas Eve to get all of our gifts wrapped…
Last Minute Gift Ideas
So for those of you that need a little help and encouragement right now, I thought I’d throw together a short list of ideas that may help speed things along for you, hopefully making your last minute shopping a little less stressful!
Hot Tech Accessories — Technology is everywhere these days, which means that spare chargers and other tech accessories are always gifts that are well received. Consider a Mophie JuicePack ($79.99), I/O Magic Virtual Keyboard ($129.99), or the PNY T2200 PowerPack (starting at $7.49) for the gadget lovers on your gift list!
Hot Audio Accessories — Headphones make a fantastic gift for preteens and teens, and will make parents ecstatic, as well (ask me how I know this)! Check out the line of Beats by Dre headphones, earphones and speakers, as well as the Bose line, available online and in select stores!
Stocking Stuffers — I’m always tempted to buy dollar aisle junk as stocking stuffers, but I’d much rather buy gifts that I know the recipient will actually be able to USE. Some fantastic suggestions at Staples right now are a Google Chromecast ($30), Bottle Ninja bottle opener ($11.99), or a FitBit Zip ($59.99)! I’m actually hoping to find a FitBit in my stocking on Christmas morning…
Host and Hostess Gifts — Don’t show up to those holiday parties empty handed. Check out these fun gifts that are sure to be a big hit for hosts and hostesses alike: Bendy Wine Aerator ($14.99), ChitChats Drink Markers ($9.99) or those big Yankee Candle Jars ($14.99) I mentioned the other day!
Co-Worker and Boss — You know that I love fun office accessories… They can totally transform a blah space to bling! Shop the Style at Staples line, which touts amazing pieces from Poppin, Paperchase and Cynthia Rowley that will help brighten up any office.
Reminder: Staples is your best bet for last-minute shipping of holiday gifts, with 20% off UPS and USPS shipping services through 12/23!!!
