Day 19 | The Last Minute Rush


If you are going to last minute rush your gift, this is the day and the only day to do it because you do not want to get caught up in the really last minute rush. What can I say, it’s a streak we all share, leave everything till the very last minute and then run around like headless chickens in search of gifts for impossible to please people in our lives. Its fine, but do it on this day and no later. We may even been too late, but at least we’ll know we tried.

Some options to help along the way, these are but guidelines…

For service men and women

Good tea
Great coffee
More than a box of chocolates

For the beauty snob

Stocking filling classics
One of the best out there
Scents

For the one whose kitchen is never without

The kitchen that has it all
Cheese staples
One can never have too many boards

For the curious and inquisitive who likes the odd cocktail

For the curious cook
consummate entertainer
For the one with everything

For the one whom we never know what to get

Balsamic condiments are necessary
As unique as it gets
Extra virgin extra something

In A Pinch

The tins are what we keep
when in doubt
Bring chocolate lobsters

For the One whose house we all gather

For the host/hostess
not another shaker!
The Consumate entertainer

Shops are beginning to have their sales this side of christmas, something that has become a thing the past few years, no more boxing day sales journey to the west end… which is sad because you know this will help maintain or hit the bottomline; but its good for us so go forth and shop just don’t drop.
