Last Minutes Christmas Shopping Ideas For The Guys

11/26/2007

 

Christmas shopping is usually handled in one of two ways – you start early and finish before the crowds descend on the stores or you wait until later, when shopping has reached its zenith. If you are like some guys, you put off Christmas shopping until the last minute, perhaps making a panic purchase that didn’t truly reflect what you wanted to get the lady in your life. Although starting your shopping on December 24th is not the best advice, you can still make some wise purchase decisions as the holiday draws closer. Let’s take a look at five last minute gift giving ideas that are sure to please.

Diamond Stud Earrings – There aren’t many women that I know who wouldn’t be pleased to find a pair of diamond studs earrings underneath the tree this Christmas. 14K white gold or 14k yellow gold are popular and affordable choices with platinum three prong diamond stud earrings something you may want to consider especially if your year end bonus was a fat one. Shopping online with a reputable jeweler such as James Allen can save you time and money.

Tickets to the Opera – The opera or a classical concert may not be your favorite event, but if it is hers then why not purchase a pair of tickets for LaBoheme and take her to that five-star restaurant one winter night? If that still sounds like too much opera for your tastes, consider buying tickets to The Ten Tenors when they visit your area – what’s not to like about a group of guys from Australia singing everything from Queen classics to Australian hits with just the occasional opera tune thrown in?

A Day At The Spa – Telling a lady that she could use a spa treatment can be dangerous for any guy. Chances are, however, they she has already hinted that giving her the gift of aromatherapy and a purifying facial would be a nice gesture on your part. Do it all one better by kicking in a massage, manicure, and pedicure for a complete makeover.

Victoria’s Secret – It is no secret that the guys love going to Victoria`s Secret, particularly when it is Guy’s Night at the store. Try not to ogle the models, but if you don’t come away from the store with an idea what your wife would like to wear, then consider getting that eye exam you have long avoided! Negligees, bath oils, and lots of girlie products are on display for your review.

Gift Certificates – Maybe your wife has everything I mentioned or, perhaps, she would prefer to choose what she wants, when she wants it. Good gift ideas don’t always come that easily; some women would prefer to get a gift certificate (or cash) and shop when the holidays are over and the price cuts are deepest. You can always give a gift certificate and some stocking stuffers to make her day.

One of the best things about my list is that you can do all of your shopping online, which is great for the guy who feels lost at the mall. Don’t wait too late, however, as you may end up blaming FEDEX or the postal service if you order too close to Christmas Day and your gift isn’t under the tree!
