Buying gifts for your friends and family around the holidays is always an exciting hing to do, but if you have a tendency to procrastinate then you might find yourself needing to buy a gift for someone at the last minute, and that’s never fun. Luckily, I have some very easy and relatively cheap ideas for presents this holiday season..

Gift card – Gift cards are always the easiest to purchase for someone if you have a specific idea of where they would like a gift card from. Stores and restaurants have a wide variety of gift cards, so you will definitely find the right one for one of your friends or a member of your family.

An album from his or her favorite band – Sometimes people like having physical and digital copies of an album, so it shouldn’t matter if they already have the album digitally, they will especially like that you’ve paid enough attention to them to know their favorite artist or band.

Sweaters – They are great for the winter weather and easy to purchase for just about anyone. Also, you can find them at almost any clothing store. Kohl’s or Target are great places to look, because the sweaters there are cheap and both of these stores will have exactly what you’re looking for.

A Visa Gift Card – This is basically the greatest Christmas present ever. If you can’t pick a specific gift card, you should definitely just buy this for a member of your family or a friend. The person that receives it can buy whatever they want on their own time, but he or she still appreciates your gift and will think about you when they use it. Visa Gift Cards at many different stores, like CVS, Target, Jewel, or even Kohl’s.

Books – If one of your friends tells you about a specific book that they want, then try to get that book for them. If you can’t find it or your friend doesn’t have a particular book in mind, then get them a gift card to Barnes and Noble. Even if they don’t like to read they will still be able to find something there that they want like magazines, board games, or reading accessories like book lights or cute bookmarks.

Ties – If you’re stuck on a gift for your dad or grandpa, then a tie is the way to go. Every man needs at least one tie in their life for a special event or party, regardless of their daytime job. There are so many different patterns and colors of ties, so you will have a very wide variety to chose from. Even if he gets more than one tie for Christmas, he will still love your present. Macy’s or Carson’s always have a variety of ties that are good quality and inexpensive.
