five gifts and you’re done

Have you ever tried to find the perfect gift on Christmas Eve? It rarely magically happens when you’re down to the wire, searching for a not lame present to wrap.

Rather than starting with a list of people and then shop for gifts , why not reverse it? Shop first, then decide who will get the gift. 

This is especially smart as we approach crazy Christmas Deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And Small Business Saturday. And the Sunday in between.
