  1. Thanks a lot for the post! You offer a lot of creative last-minute gift ideas! A lot of these gifts you can find at a fairly cheap price, like discount picture frames and gift baskets which you can find at a Dollar Stores, and then you can decorative them yourself to give them a personal touch.
