Last Minute Gifts That Look Thoughtful

on December 23, 2011 at 6:00 AM

last minute christmas gifts Eeek! Did you just remember those nephews and nieces that are coming over on Christmas Eve? Why yes it is the last minute, but that doesn't mean you're completely out of luck. (You're out of luck when you come home after the stores close and you're out of tape.)

But as long as you have the Internet, a 24-hour drug store, and some tape, you're in business. Here are five great gifts for kids that you can still get right this minute.

LivingSocial

You can click and print at LivingSocial and give the kids on your list great gifts like Little Passports (a monthly subscription where Sam and Sofia send your kids letters, souvenirs, and fun games from around the world) for 50 percent off. Or try the gift of Roxo customizable wrist bands for only $10!

Moshi Monsters

Head over to Moshi Monsters and buy a one- to six-month membership for the kids on your list who love the Internet. They really, really, really can't get enough of these Moshis.

Marshmallow Gun

According to Oprah.com, and to my local CVS, you can pick up a marshmallow gun on your way to the party. Marshmallows too. Then you just have to duck.

PajamaGrams

If you order by 4 p.m. EST TODAY (December 23), these pajamas will arrive by Christmas. You really can't beat that, can you? In boys, girls, and even adults if you want to go for the matchy-matchy.

iTunes Gift Card

For the kids who like to rock, you cannot go wrong with an iTunes gift card. You can download it now, and email it too. That's more like last second than last minute.

Where do you shop for last minute gifts?

I shop year round, so I go to my gift closet! If nothing there, Walgreens.

And I would only do the Marshmallow gun to my worst enemy.

I shop all year round- so If I have a unexpected guest - I just grab one, wrap and I feel better. I am not good with finding a last minute gifts. I hate not being prepared.
