A Last Minute Shopper's Guide To Great Christmas Gifts

You know who you are. You're the person who keeps thinking to themselves I've got plenty of time to go Christmas shopping. October? Really? I'm too busy with Halloween. November? Got to get ready for Thanksgiving. December? Oh, I've got a couple of weeks, I can go shopping then. All of a sudden you wake up one morning and it's December 22 and you haven't even put a dent in your Christmas list. To make matters worse, you've got several people on your list that seem impossible to buy for. They have everything, what to do?

Of course, the best course of action would be to start early and save yourself from being frazzled. This list will keep you from freaking out in an already stressful time of the year. Nobody wants to be committed during Christmas! Whether you're an early bird or a last minute shopper, these are some great gift ideas for even the most hard-to-buy-for Scrooge on your list.

First of all, you just can't go wrong with chocolate. Who doesn't love it? It makes the depressed and PMS'ers be at peace.

For the traveller in your life, buy them the Garmin Nuvi. This has lifetime maps installed, so you'll give them the gift that keeps on giving: they'll quit asking you for directions.

For those short people who live with you, don't forget them! Every kid under 4 loves Elmo. Heck, some kids over 40 like Elmo. Buy this for them, and they'll be putty in your hands until NEXT Christmas

How could you forget? It's Christmas. Don't be sleeping on the couch on Christmas Night. Buy this gift basket for your wife and she can soak away the stress from the holidays. She can hit all those after Christmas sales, too! This basket comes with a $10 gift card to Bath and Body Works.

Really, men aren't that hard to buy for. It's just that we get busy, ok? Any man will be happy with this grilling BBQ gift basket. Besides, if you buy him this, HE'LL be the one making dinner.

We all know someone who loves to read. This might even be a present you want to buy for yourself. This would go good with the Bath and Body gift basket you're going to get your wife. (hint hint) It comes with everything you need to curl up with a good book and includes a $25 gift card to buy said book.

You can't please everyone all the time, so when all else fails, cash is king.
