If you are still stumped on what to get a friend or relative for the holidays, consider these last minute shopping tips to help you figure it out:

1) Magazine Subscription
Are you shopping for a sports fanatic? A movie lover? How about a glamour queen? A magazine subscription is the perfect idea for just about anyone. Most cost less than $20 and give the gift of a great monthly magazine. Tip: Just make sure that your recipient isn't already subscribing to that magazine, and make sure that you get their address right! Check to see if there is a website for the magazine you wish to send a subscription to (such as www.people.com) for easy sign up access.

2) Fan Stuff
Got a relative or friend that is crazy about a certain television show, movie or sports team? Then consider getting them t-shirts, mugs, toys or DVD's from their faves.

3) Calendars and Organizers
It may sound a little silly, but everyone can use a calendar or organizer for the upcoming new year. Since they are available in a number of different styles and sizes, you are sure to find something for that hard to shop for person on your list.
