Christmas is officially here (well close enough) and like always, I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off searching for gifts. I'm honestly not sure why I do this to myself every single year, but I guess you can say that procrastination gives me a rush of excitement. Though procrastinating until the weekend before will usually result in an anxiety attack for me, it serves as a great thing for you because you'll get a firsthand look at my top picks of last-minute holiday gift ideas.
Whether you're missing a gift for your mom, dad, sister, brother, lover, or friend, these quick, easy, and affordable gifts can all be options to point you in the right direction of what to put under the tree. All found for well under $70 (yes, $70!), you'll be able to get a gift or three for those left on your list — and maybe even a little something for yourself, too!
Check the list out below or catch me talking about each gift on WESH 2 News here.
