Doing Last Minute Shopping? Here's 5 Gift Ideas For Under $25

The holidays can be fun and stressful at the same time, especially if you are a last minute shopper like me. Below are a list of gift ideas that you can use to give to loved ones, clients, and co-workers.

1. Candles

Candles smell good, look good, and are cost effective. The lighting and smell of a candle can sooth the mind and can help make a distressed environment relaxed. People also use candles for decoration.

2. Wine Please!

Surprisingly, a lot of people wouldn't mind a bottle of wine for the holidays. You can grab a bottle from your local grocery store or liquor warehouse. (We found that it costs less at a warehouse than a mom and pop wine store). Wrap a holiday bow around the bottle and you are set to go! Cheers!

3. Books

Books are a great gift, especially if the receiver loves to read. Amazon, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble have a great deal reads that you can choose from. You can also gift someone with Leading with Lee Magazines :-) ! All $20 and under.

4. Chocolate.

You could never go wrong with a box of chocolates. Chocolate is a guilty pleasure for many, so wrapping up a box of chocolates as a gift for the holidays may be one of the easiest and pleasurable things to gift someone, especially if it's for a colleague or client.

5. Gift Cards

Make it extra special by getting a gift card that is directed to their favorite place. If they love to shop on Amazon, then give an Amazon gift card; if they love to eat at a particular restaurant or love to receive spa services, then gift them with a card to their favorite places. This gesture will have more meaning than a general gift card.

Happy Shopping!
