Below are a couple of things that could come in handy when buying Christmas presents for people if you are stuck in a time crunch buying gifts this holiday. These things have saved me multiple years in a row and I hope that it could be useful to you as it is only a few days until Christmas.

1. A blanket

Think about it, no one wants to spend money on a nice blanket for themselves; therefore, getting someone this for Christmas a perfect and useful gift that they would be able on multiple occasions.

2. Gift cards

What a more useful gift for someone than giving them the opportunity to choose their own? Gift cards are an absolutely amazing present to give last minute where there is no risk of dissatisfaction on the receiving end.

3. Paint your own mug

One of my favorite things to do during the holidays is painting pottery. Going to paint a mug or other kinds of pottery is one of the best things to do. Not only do you get the satisfaction and enjoyment of painting your own mug, but you then can turn it into a gift.

4. Credit card holder for the back of a phone

These days, having a pouch on the back of your phone is absolutely necessary. Not many people have wallets these days and it saves people from having to bring wallets and other forms of storage around with them wherever they go.

5. Water bottle

My hydro flask is one of my favorite possessions that I bring absolutely everywhere. Any sort of insulated water bottle, whether it is a hydro flask or not, can be an extremely useful gift and a smart investment to make for something. Not only will it get a lot of use, but it is an easy gift to find, something that you can access at almost any store.

Happy Shopping!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant.
