I have made it 22 days and I am quickly running out of ideas, so I am glad that I only have a few days left, but I am proud that I have made it this far. For today's post I am going to give you guys 5 last minute gift ideas.
1) Record Players. This is a very trendy gift to give this year, especially for the young adult crowd. There are many different kinds, but the reality is that most of the people who want this gift wouldn't be able to tell whether the quality was good or not. Most department stores at the mall will have a variety of brands for under $40. If you do give the record player, buying some records to go along with it is a good idea as well.
2) Pop Vinyls. These are a type of action figure or bobble head that are really fun to collect, and there are hundreds of them. Pick a character you think that they might like, normally from a favorite movie or tv show, and wrap it up. They are only about $9 and easy to find. I normally get mine at Barnes and Noble, but they sell them at Walmart, Target, the mall, and most other stores like these. I have about 36 of them, so I can truy say I love them. They line my entertainment center currently, and they are the greatest.
3) Cookbooks. I definitely recommend these for moms, and I would probably recommend finding some crockpot meal cookbooks or quick and easy dinners. I personally love cookbooks, and check out the huge variety at my local Barnes and Noble every time I go there. There are cookbooks for just about everything from smoothies to burgers, chocolate cake to italian dinners.
4) Slippers or fuzzy socks. This is a simple gift to give anyone that you just don't know what else to get for. They are cozy, inexpensive, and just lovely little things. It is also super easy to find fun (and festive if that is something you want) slippers. Walmart has a bunch for under $10, and so does just about every other store.
5) Coffee mugs, to go cups. This is actually one of my favorite things to receive (I love coffee mugs!). There are so much cute, festival, practical, colorful, and fun coffee mugs out there, they are easy to find, and relatively inexpensive. People can always use another quality coffee mug in their lives. A fun DIY is to buy a plain white or solid colored mug and use oil based Sharpie to add your own design. This is a great way to give a personal touch instead of a generic mug. You can wipe the design off with fingernail polish remover and try again if you make error. When you have finished your design, bake it in the over at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and let the mug cool down with the oven.
I have a few more ideas if you are seriously in need of them, let me know if you guys are looking for anything specific. Also, I really could use some ideas for the last few days, so if you have any suggestions for Christmas/Winter themed posts, let me know!
