Last Minute Gift Ideas my Husband Threw at me Last Minute



Well, it's almost Christmas time and I'm almost back to my small Northern California town, which just means that My San Diego (like any sane people) will be off for the next few days, nogging it and then sleeping off the nog. For those of you that have saved your last minute shopping for, well, the very last minute (Dad) here's the list of presents my husband (also a last minuter) suggests for those last minute shoppers:


Netflix: Best for someone you live with because then you too can partake in the Netflix madness (guess what I'm getting for Christmas).


Parfum de Gwen Stefani: It's called Lamb. Really any perfume will do (as one can tell from visiting the perfume section of the store where you will find most guys milling about waiting for someone to tell them what is "hot" or what their mother in law would like, two VERY different fragrances, mind you).


A donation has been made in your honor to (insert charity here). It's never too late to make a last minute donation in honor of your giftee.


A love letter. Yep, buy yourself some nice paper and make a real life love letter. Take the time to tell your significant other (or giftee who you've had your eye on) just how much they mean to you. Bonus points for working in the words: eternity, joyous, fated, amazing, amorous and/or sweetie patootie pumpkin heart. Even more bonus points if you get it framed, yep framed.


Pictures, pictures, pictures. The cool think about the digital camera age is you can go down to your local store, stick in your memory card and wa la, you've got a billion presents at your finger tips. Pick a theme like "reasons I love you" or "reasons you're my best friend" or even "how much do you love me right now?" and then pick out those pictures that work with that theme. Bonus points if it somehow involves your nudity.


A day off. You can never, ever go wrong with a day off. Go to the bookstore, get yourself a gift card, and include with the card a promise of a day off to "hang out at the bookstore and read magazines for free" (Also works with spa gift certificates, massage certificates).






*And now for my few days off...*
