I’ve shared a few gift guides with you this holiday season {Gifts for the Foodie, Gifts for the Gardener} and I’m closing the season out with a truly last-minute Gift Guide. All you need for most of these gifts is internet access, a printer, ink, and cardstock — though several would be lovely paired with a few items you can grab at any typical supercenter {or even many convenient stores}.
Plus, these gifts are from small shops, so you can still support small businesses even though it is last minute. Ready to shop? Check out the list…
