5 last minute gift ideas

Hey procrastinators!  If you’re still looking for Christmas gifts and don’t want to dare step foot in a mall, here are some last minute gift ideas that you can put together with a quick trip to the grocery store.

1) For the beauty junkie – a magazine, like Elle or Lucky, nail polish, nail polish remover, nail files (thanks to Punky Style and her yankee swap gifter for the idea)

2) For the foodie – a collection of your favorite recipes and some ingredients to start

3) For the host/hostess – a bottle of wine with some DIY wine charms (like these from Thursdays)

4) For the traveler – gather colored paper, envelopes, ribbon, colored pens and create a unique journal for an upcoming trip (this journal from The Creative Place is really pretty)

5) For your boyfriend or husband – custom beer bottles with thoughtful messages and designs (I love this idea that Design Sponge posted last year)

Do you have any other good last minute gift ideas?

    great tips, K. And easy on the wallet! My fave last minute gifts are a mix CD, a framed pic from a recent adventure with a friend or relative and Christmas ornaments. The latter is great for young people/couples just starting out who are looking to collect a few special holiday items.

    Good luck shopping! Merry Christmas!
