The problem with most Gift Ideas Lists is that they’re published way too early.
Oh, sure, if you’re one of those people who get a big thrill from having every single bit of holiday shopping done by December 1st, then you certainly don’t need our last-minute help.
You can sit back, smug in the knowledge that you’ve gotten the whole nasty business Over With for another year and never have to subject yourself to the bustling holiday crowds, the twinkly store lights, the incessant Christmas music, the rosy-cheeked children waiting to sit on Santa’s lap at the mall, and all the other annoyances that come with waiting until the actual season to shop for all the special people in your life.
You can also be sure that the rest of us hate you (as we circle the parking lot for a space) and will be talking about you behind your back as we enjoy the special bond that’s formed each year amongst our fellow procrastinators in the mall. In fact, we find that the laid-back late-shoppers tend to be much more pleasant to deal with than the anal-retentive early birds. That’s because being so close to the wire means that we’re all filled with the holiday spirit. Or, better yet, holiday spirits. (We don’t know about you, but we’re always much more Santa-like after a couple of eggnogs).
So for those of you who, like us, enjoy the adrenaline rush of a little last-minute holiday madness, we offer plenty of ideas for gifts that are still available online AND in our shops.
Click here to see our Kaboodle list of OUR Favorite Things. We’ve listed great stuff in every price and for every recipient, along with our comments.
Trust us, they beat the heck out of Oprah’s weirder-by-the-year list !
(Seriously, does anyone out there still think that whole thing isn’t one big payola fest for her producers or are we really supposed to believe that a $7 cupcake from Williams Sonoma or a $200 electric face brush are things anyone would actually buy without the big O’s endorsement?)
See ya’ll at the mall!
