Christmas gift shopping is an event that has to be planned meticulously; otherwise, there's a chance that on Christmas eve you will find yourself scurrying from shop to shop, jostling with the crowd, buying the first thing you see without giving it any thought.
If you are in a last minute crunch, there are some "safe" gift options that will save the day-- not to mention face. A box of chocolates is always a safe bet, assuming the receiver has a fondness for chocolates. Similarly, an assortment of cookies is sure to please the guy or gal with a sweet tooth on your list. Colognes and perfumes are also a popular gift if you're having trouble deciding what someone might like. Just keep the scent subtle and buy what's "in" in the way of scents.
If you know the size of the person you are buying for, a blouse, shirt or sweater is always nice. Stick with basic colors, unless the person on your list has diverse tastes. Then, you might want to indulge them in bolder, more colorful attire. For the men on your list, ties, wallets, briefcases, mp3 players, and organizers are sure to please. For the ladies, jewelry, scarves, cosmetic kits, watches and gift certificates are popular gifts. Teens love receiving money or gift certificates so they can buy what they want, and children love toys and books.
Shopping for Christmas gifts is really an art, and given the time constraints we all seem to face and the number of family and friends that we have to buy for; making a list and a budget should make for a Merry Christmas for all.

I have been reading your blog, “On the Holiday.” I am commenting here because it seemed like the best way to reach you. I thought you might be interested in a site to share with your readers. UniversalGiving™ (UG) is a San Francisco-based website designed to connect individuals to reputable charities they can donate to or volunteer with. UG allows people to do something real to help the causes they’re interested in, by allowing those who want to give a multitude of good choices for how to give. As the holiday season approaches, we are offering gift packages for people who wish to do good as a gift to others. Individuals are invited to select an issue they care about, choose a gift package, and UniversalGiving™ will notify their friend or family member of the gift made in their name.
I thought you might be interested in blogging on the topic of alternative giving this holiday season. With the season fast approaching, I was hoping that you might consider mentioning UniversalGiving™ this year. If you’re open to the idea of a guest post, we’d also love to do that.
UniversalGiving™ is a social entrepreneurship non-profit whose vision is to "create a world where giving and volunteering are a natural part of everyday life." We are essentially a one stop shop that helps to address the problem of "how much and where to give" by providing a web-based service that connects donors and volunteers with exceptional organizations all over the world. And we don't take a cut on donations. Another facet which makes UniversalGiving™ unique is our rigorous Quality Model™, which all of our partner nonprofits must pass through to appear on the site. To date, UG has matched more than 1.3 million dollars and 8,000 volunteers worldwide.
We want to reach and help as many people as possible who share our vision. If you would be interested in mentioning or linking to UniversalGiving™ on your blog, it would give your readers a chance to utilize our resources, and give us the opportunity to reach more people.
If there are any questions you'd like answered or anything I can do to help, please ask! I'd be happy to put you in touch with CEO and founder Pamela Hawley for upcoming Q&A's, "giving" postings, or anything else in the works.
Thank you so much for your time. I hope to hear from you!
Best,
Cheryl Mahoney
