I’m about to introduce some last minute Christmas present
ideas that actually don’t seem so last minute.
I got a few ideas from mine and my blogger besties presents from our
meet up over the weekend. Even though we
actually thought about our presents, the gifts we got would work for last
minute gifts, so I wanted to write a post today about 5 different types of
people and different gift ideas for them.
Keep reading to see what ideas you can use if you’re still looking for a
gift for someone!

For the Person who recently moved out/homeowner/cook
Ok, so I recently moved out and my blogger bestie bought a
house over a year ago. She’s obsessed
with fixing it up and making it home by accenting with home décor. Meanwhile since I’m in an apartment I have a
smaller space to work with but I’m constantly cooking because of my healthy
lifestyle and making sure I make everything instead of buy it. My blogger bestie got me some of my favorites
from The Pioneer Woman which is sold at Walmart. She got me a nonstick pan, measuring bowls,
and measuring spoons. It’s seriously
perfect because I’m almost always saying I wish I had more because of all of
the things I make. I decided to get her
some wall décor from Target since I know she loves deer heads and
decorating. For the person who just
moved out either on their own, with the significant other, bought a house, or
(with my gifts) just likes to cook just buy something for their home. If they’re new to their new home get them
something they will need or use. Trust
me, they’ll appreciate it more than you think!

For the Fashionista
I hate giving gift cards to people because I don’t feel as
though it’s personalized enough but getting a gift card to someone’s favorite
store is the best way to go. The reason
why, is because if you want to buy clothing for someone the one issue will be
if you buy something either too big or small.
If you buy something too small they can’t wear it until they have to go
and exchange it, but if you buy something too big you might hurt their feelings
and they might take it as they’re being called fat. This isn’t the case for everyone but some
people might actually take it that way.
To add to the gift card put it in fun packaging and just write a really
heartfelt note in a card, I love reading cards!

For the boyfriend
If I were to buy any last minute gifts for my boyfriend it
would be anything car or technology related.
I really wouldn’t be able to go wrong with getting a gift card from Best
Buy or getting anything Google/Android related, but with car stuff would be
where I would need to do a little bit of research so I would probably stick
with a Best Buy gift card and then make a little care package that had some of
his favorite candy or snacks along with some more cute things.

For the Parents
These are usually the difficult ones. My mom loves anything Christmas related so I
would probably get her an ornament or something, but my dad is tricky. For mom’s and dad’s I feel like they are the
ones we should spend more time on since I mean without them we wouldn’t be on
this earth. It makes me really sad that
I can never give my parents anything that they deserve for Christmas because of
bills (I seriously hate being an adult more and more each day). If I could I would probably buy both of them
a round trip to some island somewhere or for a trip to Europe. Since I can’t afford that I would get them
something small and meaningful so my mom would be ok with anything Christmas
related and for my dad I would either get him something with electronics or
some money/gift cards for anything fitness related since he’s been on a fitness
kick.

For the Christmas Obsessed Friend/Family Member
This one is just super easy.
We all have that one friend or family member (my mom) who LOVES
Christmas. This is when you get a chance
to either make something (I made reindeer out of wine corks last year) or you
can buy Christmas ornaments. This is why
my mom is so easy to buy Christmas presents for because she loves anything to do
with Christmas!
