Procrastinators Rejoice! Last Minute Holiday Gifts!

weekend-today Hola amigos!

While the rest of the Northeast was sleeping this snowy morn’, I was on “Weeekend Today” showing lazy BUSY last-minute shoppers where they could still pick up cool gifts on the cheap.

Watch the segment HERE, and check out my tips below!

Happy Holidays!!

Last Minute Gifts.

Whether an unexpected relative arrives for Christmas Eve, or you get an impromptu party invite, here are five affordable, and useful, gifts to have on hand this holiday season:

1. Bottle of bubbly. Show off your style by giving a bottle of sparkling wine. Much more pocket-friendly than Champagne, but equally as posh, there huge array of quality and well-priced sparklers: Italian Prosecco, Spanish Cava, Alsatian Cremants, and even domestic bubbly made in New York and Oregon. I especially like the Wine Spectator-rated Hi Prosecco, $15, hiprosecco.com

2. Sassy scarf. Oh-so-fashionable, and totally functional, cashmere scarves will be warmly appreciated by a stylish guy or gal. From $19.99, Marshall’s

3. Tech Madness. Kohl’s and Target have a variety of cool gadgets for dudes under $50:

*Portable iPod dock, $49.99 Target

* A Pocket Video Camera, $49.99 Kohls

And I HEART this so-dorky-its-cool Wifi shirt that lights up when you get a strong signal, TOTALLY geek chic! $19.99, thinkgeek.com

4. A Pampering Present. The Head-to-Toe Starter Kit from Burt’s Bee’s comes with a travel-size array of hand lotions, foot cream, bath oils and foot balms, among other beauteous treats. Perfect for keeping skin nourished in cold winter months. $15, Burtsbees.com and CVS

5. Gift Card. The easiest, and most welcome present of all. American Express Gift Cards allow recipients to treat themselves to whatever their little heart desires, whether it’s a much-needed manicure or contributes to their dream vacation.

Unlike others, American Express gift cards have no fees for activation, no fees for checking a balance, no fees for servicing, no fees for card placement, and the funds on the card never expire.They are conveniently sold at drugstores for easy pick-up, and are insured; a gift everyone is sure to enjoy. From $25,americanexpress.com

6. And always appreciated is a RAD gift that gives back.

Via Global Giving, you can give gifts that extend throughout the world.

I love this “Give Wheels” gift, where for $50, you can buy a girl in India a bicycle to ride to school!
