Top Five Last Minute Christmas Gifts

We have all done it before; you get so busy Christmas shopping that you forget a friend or co-worker. Here are the top five last minute Christmas gifts that you can pick up on the way to the party. Be sure you have a gift bag, too!

1. Candy
You can stop by any grocery or drug store and pick up a nice box of candy. If you don't want to wrap it, you can just stick a bow on a sampler box for a nice gift.

2. Poinsettias
Although somewhat overdone, a beautifully wrapped poinsettia is a nice gift. If you have received one yourself, you can always "regift" these because people aren't going to attempt to return them to the store.

3. Stuff a Stocking
Stop by a drug store, purchase an inexpensive Christmas stocking, and stuff it! Grab all the little Christmas goodies they have available. Stuff some festive candy canes down in there, too. This gift will be much appreciated.

4. Choose a Special Book
Choose a book that you think the person would like. Write a personal, touching message in the front. Most drug stores have a rack of Inspirational Books somewhere in the store, if not an aisle of bestsellers.

5. Gift Cards
This one must be included because it is so easy. Most grocery stores and drug stores have gift cards available in denominations as small as $10.00. Everyone appreciates gift cards, and no wrapping is required. You can slide them in a card or special holder if you would like.

Final Thoughts
Yes, it is the thought that counts, but during the holiday season we have a lot to think about! If you need last minute Christmas gifts, these are great.
