Here Are Some Simple Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas

Some people spend all summer and fall plotting and planning every gift purchase to take advantage of seasonal sales. For the rest of us, last minute Holiday gift ideas are a lifesaver. There’s nothing wrong with waiting until December to do your shopping as long as you know where to go. Finding great deals on gifts allows you to skip the long lines for big sales and shop where the prices are low year round. If you’re on the hunt for those last minute holiday gifts, one dollar zone has everything listed below and more to help you check every name off of your list.

Simple Reminders of Love

It doesn’t take a lot of work or crafting skill to create a simple reminder of your love for a family member or spouse. When you can’t think of anything they actually need, a sentimental gift often means a lot more and is easy to put together in a hurry. Pick up an empty picture frame and visit a local photo printer to have your favorite shot of the two of you together printed to fit the frame.

For a more interactive gift, cut out 365 slips of paper and write different positive quotes and affirmations for someone to read on a daily basis. Toss them all in a beautiful glass candy jar or other lidded dish and add a festive bow or ribbon.
