Sometimes it’s hard to find time before winter break to finish up, or even start, Christmas shopping. The following is a list which composes the best last-minute (and affordable) Christmas gifts.
For a mom:
- a picture frame including shots of you and your family
This is a perfect idea for a mom, as they mostly prefer sentimental gifts over extravagant ones. Giving her a picture of the family, or even of you, will most likely make her more happy than anything else.
For a dad:
- coffee or one of their favorite beverages
Dad’s love their coffee. They usually drink it everyday, so giving them either their favorite coffee or new holiday blend will offer practicality and bring them joy.
For a sister:
- perfume and makeup
These are two essentials that a sister should always have on hand, especially around the holiday’s when they are attending holiday parties. It also helps to keep an eye on the things she may like or need so you can get her something along those lines as well!
For a brother:
- gift card to their favorite restaurant
You can never go wrong with giving money for food.
For a best friend:
- their favorite candy and a gift card
Giving gift cards is not only easy, but it also allows people to pick out exactly what they want, without forcing you to guess what they may like the most.
General gifts for everyone:
- Lotion
- body spray
- Target gift cards
- Visa/American Express gift cards
- homemade desserts
All of these gifts can be purchased at either the nearest commercialized store or a mall nearest to you and they’re all general gift ideas that can be given to any close friend, family member, or classmate.
