The holidays can be stressful sometimes, and I don’t just mean emotionally. If you have a big family, the end of the year can put a big strain on your bank account as well. If you haven’t finished your shopping and want to give your credit card a break, it’s not too late to grab some exciting gifts, even though its last-minute! Sometimes you can find the best deals in the places you would least expect. Better still, they’re places you can continue to use for gifts long after the season ends.
Something for Her
If you need something for your significant other, mom, sister, friend, aunt, or whoever, consider looking for the “where” not the “what.” What women doesn’t appreciate something sentimental? A personal, sentimental gift represents the deep bond you share, and your strong emotional connection. And they don’t have to be expensive. Why not revisit a place where you shared fond memories? When you get to the location (be it a park, a zoo, or just a special place around your home), Twisted Sifter recommends recreating a photo you two took their together. Print out the new photo with a vintage filter to match the existing photograph, and gift it to the recipient next to the original in a side-by-side frame. It’s a beautiful gift that will certainly bring a tear to their eye.
