Presents Prime for the Giving

Posted on December 20th, 2015

Hey there, procrastinators.  Greetings to all of you insanely busy people.  Welcome to those of you who just realized you forgot your sister-in-law.

Admittedly, I don’t leave anything to the last minute.  I rush through my weekend errands and chores first thing Saturday morning so I can cross things off the list as quickly as possible– I’m usually done by noon.  Ditto my Christmas shopping, which I wrapped up on Cyber Monday.

Nevertheless, I’m here to help if you’re not cut from the same cloth.  Christmas is soon.  On Friday, in fact.  As the Grinch would say, it’s practically here.  Your inbox is being hammered with emails from companies who promise to deliver your packages by Christmas Eve– for a small shipping fee of $40, or for an order over $300.  But you shouldn’t be punished for trying to give gifts to those you love!  Behold, a solution: Amazon Prime.

This post does assume you are able to take advantage of Amazon Prime because 1) everyone should have it and 2) if you don’t, that should be your Christmas gift to yourself.  A Prime membership is a purchase that will never, ever give you buyer’s remorse.

Here are a whole bunch of options for every possible person on your list– all under $60, and will be shipped to you by Christmas Eve for the low low price of free:

• Candle– hostess gift, stocking stuffer, whatever you need!
• Nail Polish Gift Set– I love all of these shades!  A pretty gift box set for only $13
• Gold/Pearl Earrings– if she’s anything like me, she’ll wear them every single day
• All the Light We Cannot See– this book is a little bit of a heartbreaker, a little bit of a thinker, and totally gripping in all of the best ways.  Definitely gender neutral, too.
• Acrylic Letter Tray– For their fancy, important desk.  Feel free to add one to your cart for me, too.
• Tile– a little tracker for all of the important things that never seem to be where you left them last.  Like Find My iPhone, but for your stuff.  Such a great gift for literally anyone.
• Blue/Pearl Drops– Even prettier in person!
• Fancy food– Tate’s cookies are great, but there are many wonderful options.  No one hates food.
• Coffee Table Book– With Poolside with Slim Aarons, they’ll be dreaming of a white hot Christmas
• America Sock Hat– Only $12!!  Your college brother told me he wants this.
• Christmas Ornament– Lots of ways to make this gift personal, but I love this option for the Star Wars lover.  Very topical, no?
• Kendra Scott necklace– pretty, neutral colors to go with everything
• Waterford barware– I love all things Waterford, and these highball glasses come with gold foil cocktail tutorials

In case you doubted that Amazon can literally be your whole life, fear not.  They both have everything, and know everything. But you should probably actually order. Today.
