Waited until the very last minute to go shopping and still don’t know what to get [insert name here]? We’ve got suggestions… but if you need them under the tree by tomorrow morning, you’ll have to go to the mall to get them on time.

For Her

  • Sex and the City DVD (Seasons 2 and 3 if the whole set is out of your price range): this is a sure bet for any young woman—chances are you will end up watchng several episode on Christmas day (just make sure grandma isn’t within earshot).
  • Fragrance or Bath Set: Women love things that pamper them and smell good. Bath and Body Works has a range of inexpensive to moderate sets for bathing indulgences; Sephora and department stores will carry fragrance gift sets as well as more upscale bath sets.
  • Magazine Subscription: Order the susbscription online and then buy them a copy of the latest issue and wrap it up with a subscription card filled in with the recipient’s name. Elle, Vogue and W are all outstanding publications.
  • Take something practical, like a scarf, work tote, belt, gym clothes, etc and get her something one notch up in quality than she would buy herself.
  • Jewelry: Try your best to make it match her personal style and something that would coordinate with an outfit she already has.

    • For Him

  • iPod accessories: You have probably heard him say he wants something – go into an Apple store or electronic retailer and ask what they have. More likely than not they will show you something that you will say, “That fits perfectly”
  • Wallet: So many men have worn-out wallets. Get them one that will last
  • Denim: Because his ass looks so hot in jeans that hug it. And his have a hole in the crotch, that while no ones see it, you still know it is there
  • Lingerie: you might be the one who wears it, but he will love unwrapping it (and you later)
  • Bathrobe: Because men truly embody their masculinity when wearing a luxurious, fluffy bathrobe

    • Parents and In-Laws

    At some point, parents often stop treating themselves luxuriously. Why not get them something indulgent, something that acknowledges, “I know that raising me was a lot of work. Why don’t you take time to relax now that I’m grown?”

  • luxurious sheets/down comforter: for all their naps and staying snug at night
  • Books in large print: stimulates the mind, easy on the eyes
  • Something for their hobbies: mom is trying yoga, dad is into gourmet cooking? Get them the accessories they need to make their pastimes even more enjoyable
