Hang in there! The holiday season is almost over. If you’re still trying to cross items off your long shopping list, I’m here to help.
1. Gift certificates suck. Either you’ll end up spending way more than you had budgeted or you’ll come off like a cheap, lazy clod. Don’t cop out and get a gift certificate unless you’re positive that’s exactly what they wanted.
2. Visit the craft supply store. People bullshit all the time about how much they prefer home-made gifts to anything purchased at the store. Call them out on it… Make something! You’ll either warm their hearts or teach them a darn good lesson.
3. Stay away from the mall. Think real hard – Can you get that item you’re looking for somewhere else? These days they sell nearly everything at the local drug store, which is usually far less of a hassle than braving the traffic at the mall.
4. When all else fails – Regift.

Ooo…I like #2! And better yet, I can have the kids make the gifts. THAT will teach ‘em.

I like number 4. It’s the cheapest solution. Just make sure you don’t send a gift to the person that sent it to you!

I am SO guilty of gift certificates. I do it every year.
