You planned to do your Christmas shopping early this year. You really did. No more last minute racing around trying to check off everyone on your list. But then there was that crisis at work, and the kids came down with the flu and your car died, and well, it’s December already and you don’t have a single gift.

Relax! There’s still time to get something for everyone on your Christmas list. And you can do it without setting foot in the mall or a big box store or spending hours and hours searching online. I’m going to tell you how to do your Christmas shopping in one day without leaving your house. Ready? Let’s shop!


Point and Shoot Digital Camera

A gift made for grandparents



If your grandparents are like so many I know, their life is a wirlwind of travel, visits with the grandkids and senior club activities. So what better gift for them than an easy-to-use point-and-shoot digital camera from Cameta Camera. They’re easy to use, so even the most technophobic among us can use them with confidence. They’re perfect for capturing a Venetian sunset or a grandbaby’s first smile.


Silver jewelry

Mom will love it!

Silver jewelry is versatile enough to take Mom from the office to a night on the town in style. And the chunky, gypsy look of a cuff bracelet is one of the most popular looks this season. But skip the mass-market versions. Mom deserves better. Buy her a hand-crafted silver bracelet and she’ll never have to worry about seeing her bracelet on everyone else at the grocery store.


Island shirt

Take Dad down island



Give Dad a little bit of the Islands with a classic Hawaiian shirt. He’ll love the change from neckties and power tools, and you’ll love his smile. Pair it with a promise of a rope hammock when the weather warms up and you’ll have one happy pop!


Art supplies

Treats for the artsy teens or siblings
