Last minute gift ideas for the holiday season

If you haven't bought gifts for your family and friends yet, time is running out. Christmas is in four days and if you don't have ideas yet, you'd normally be screwed. Luckily for you, the Internet provides a lot of resources to help find ideas for all those special people in your life. So, I've compiled a list of some helpful resources when it comes to buying those presents.


*College Humor's Holiday Cheat Sheet 2007
This site provides gift ideas for everyone in your life. Some of the ideas may seem funny at first, but many of them are really cool and most are very practical. With super shipping, you should be able to still get your gift on time.

*101 great gifts to make
Finally, if you completely run out of time, you could just make the gift! The recipient will think you cared more, when in fact you barely cared at all. The list features some cute ideas and some horrible ones. Either way, it came from the heart!
*Ideas at Gifts.com
These feature some of the latest fads in gift giving and most will probably be available at local stores (so you won't have to pay for shipping). The site is broken down by the recipient and the type of gift needed.

*Last minute gifts at ChristmasGifts.com
Apparently they know us, because they have a whole section devoted to those of us who are lazy and late. Ideas range from gift baskets and gift certificates to board games and gourmet food.

*63 gift ideas under $10
Now we're talking! Not only am I late, but I'm cheap too! A few of these ideas are really great, but I'm also skeptical of the fact that some are "under" $10. Still, these ideas are pretty good and still cheap.

I normally just walk around the mall and shop spontaneously.

Yeah, I cut that out. I like to go with an idea at least. But the web is a great resource.
