Check — and Take Advantage of — Holiday Hours

Stores know that this is the busiest time of the shopping year, so thankfully for the shopper, sometimes that means hours are extended beyond usual! Just be sure to check your store’s hours either online or by phone so you don’t waste a trip. And if all that’s open is a grocery store, consider going anyway. You might be able to find a perfectly acceptable gift, like a gift card or some inexpensive jewelry or winter gear.

Make a Creative Gift

A gift doesn’t have to be over-the-top to be great. Make something creative or heartfelt if you can’t make it to the store. Or opt for movie passes or tickets to a concert, theater, or sporting event. So many things are available, you’ll surely be able to find something that matches your recipient’s interests.
