Last minute Christmas gift ideas

According to a report from Nielsen, one in four Americans, most of them men, hadn’t bought any gifts as of December 18th.

Here are some tips, courtesy of time.com, on the best ways to cross everyone off your list.

The easiest gift may seem impersonal, but according to the National Retail Federation, it’s topped wish lists for nine years in a row: gift cards!

If you’re really looking to spend: televisions.

If you need to ship, try signing your loved one up for a service. For your foodie friends, food-prep services like Blue Apron or Hello Fresh.

There’s also beauty boxes like Ipsy and Birchbox that send sample products every month.

Of course, there are varying degrees of cost here. Extreme experiences, like skydiving and the Nascar Racing Experience are great gifts for the adrenaline junkie in your life.

Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now subscriptions will have them thanking you all year.

If all else fails, the golden standby, iTunes gift card.

And if you need to ship your packages in time for Christmas Day, the overnight shipping cutoff at FedEx and ups is today but if you’re really delayed, FedEx offers same-day shipping 365 days a year, including Christmas.
