Stock up on these 5 gifts to always have a present in a pinch

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. Also the pre-door buster sales and the after door-buster sales and the 3 days before Thanksgiving sale and the second Tuesday after December 1 Sale… deals, deals, deals! 

Let’s get a game plan… here is your Reverse Gift List with all of the items you need for everyone on your list: friends, family, co-workers, kids, party hostesses, spouses…


The Reverse Gift List


1. Gifts for Kids

Children’s Books: Books are a go-to gift for any child. Stock up on books for different ages.
