Heh. Who would wait to the last minute to buy their Christmas gifts anyway? I mean, It’s not even October yet, so buy ‘em now.
Ok, as of this writing Christmas is a ways off, but what the heck. Why not procrastinate? The latest statistics, made up by me, say that 82.4% of us will wait till the last minute anyway.
Knowing this, Chris Prillo put together a list of The Best and Worst Last Minute Christmas Gifts, a good reference for those of us who prefer to wait. And wait.

Personal coupons for slave labor and appropriate batteries are always great gifts.

Now how last minute are we talking about? A week before? Christmas eve? It’s the day and you’re stuck?

Get to that mall on christmas eve (go when the stores open.)  For women, jewelry. Nothing more needs be said. For men, fancy tools or gadgets.

Gift certificates to something or someplace the gift-getter likes.

A coupon to the movie and dinner of her choice.

Worst gifts? I’m reminded of my childhood…

underwear.

Clothing might be ok. I mean Batman cotumes are cool (if you kids likes Batman) but underwear?

My wife got a toilet seat once. Her father-in-law thought is was a great gift. Lousy gift for a kid, though.

Worst comes to worst and the day has arrived?

Scribble out a card in your best chicken scratch with an offer for a shopping spree worth (insert amount you’re willing to pay, then double it.)

You might walk away alive…
