Gift Map IV: Last Minute Gifts

So you waited til the very last minute, eh? It’s best to have a sense of humor about these things — as with this inflatable fruitcake at Archie McPhee.
At this stage of the game, dear shopper, you are not just in need of a map. You are in need of a plan. There’s one in this post, so don’t sweat.
First: Count your pocket change. What are you looking to spend here? When it comes to last minute shopping, it’s either a case of the most elegantly inexpensive thing you can find, or throwing your bank balance to wind to and going all out.
Second: Repeat after me, don’t over-think it.
If you’re looking to save money in these final hours, you might first target the wonderland-of-a-dollar shop, Daiso, if you’ve procrastinated yourself into a state of uber-generosity, smart shoppers all over Seattle know that Souvenir holds some of the most gorgeously special items on the West Coast. I defy you to walk in and leave empty handed.
If those not-yet-crossed-out on your list have a sense of humor, Archie McPhee is prime real estate for not over-thinking things. And for those with a strong sense of holiday spirit, Liave has plenty of uncommon, really seasonal decor pieces for not a lot of cash.
Gifts from Metsker Maps make the giver seem worldly and thoughtful, as if he/she had the whole thing, well, mapped out ahead of time, as do stylish design objects from Peter Miller Books.
But what are we doing talking about all this? You need to get out there and get things done.
