Here are some crunch time ideas for those procrastinators out there. I have memories of walking into a Gap only to find empty shelves where sweaters and scarves should be. If you find yourself in such a pickle, here are some other options.

Brick & Mortar Options

• Bath & Body Works candles, soap, or gift basket (fancier looking candles at Anthro)
• Board games or puzzles from Target or a pop-up game shop at the mall
• Fancy phone case or accessories– chargers, cords, blue tooth speakers…
• Magazine along with a year’s subscription (Barnes and Noble has a magazine for everyone on your list so you can give the actual magazine with the subscription)
• Sephora Favorites gift box or brand specific gift box (Ulta has several as well)
• DVDs or a movie theater gift card along with some fancy or microwave popcorn
• Cookie dough ingredients assembled in a mason jar with the recipe attached
• Gift card, store specific if you know where they like to shop or Target if you don’t know where they shop

E-Subscriptions

• Digital newspaper or magazine subscription (NY Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Sports Illustrated, etc. are a little more substantial because of their frequency; Real Simple, Glamour, Food Network Magazine, Bon Appetit, O Magazine, etc. are usually less than a twenty dollar bill for a year)
• Amazon Prime subscription
• Blue Apron subscription
• Birch Box subscription
• Dollar Shave Club subscription
• Netflix subscription
• E- gift card to an online retailer, somewhere specific like Carbon38 or somewhere general like Amazon

God Speed!
