Uh-oh, did Christmas Day and Hanukkah sneak up on you? The holiday season is moving at lightning speed, right? Whether you totally forgot a gift or you're scrambling to get one for an unexpected Christmas Eve guest, don’t panic. Gift cards are a total lifesaver, and honestly, they're one of the most thoughtful presents you can give. In fact, I think a gift certificate is the perfect gift.
Why? Because you’re giving the gift of choice—letting the recipient pick exactly what they want, when they want it. Plus, a digital gift card is quick, easy, and always appreciated. So, if you’re in a last-minute bind, I’ve got you covered with some E! Shopping Editor -approved gift card options from REI, Zappos, and more popular retailers.
A gift certificate is a great stocking stuffer, a stress-free last minute Christmas gift, and the best buy when you want to give a present your family member will actually use. Holiday gift shopping should not be stressful. Make your life easier with a thoughtful gift idea that no one will return.
