Christmas Present Idea: Misc.

3 presents waiting........., originally uploaded by jonmatthew photography.

It's the last week of shopping until Christmas! If you still don't have a clue about what to get her, here is a list of miscellaneous options that you should be able to get hold of this close to Christmas:

-A spa day. Check your yellow pages and buy her a day at the spa for two. She'll love it!

-A month of maid service. Who wouldn't love to go a month without having to clean?

-A year, or half a year, of flowers with a Flower of the Month Club enrollment. Not into flowers? There are over a hundred other gifts-of-the-month clubs out there. Pick something she'll like.

-Broadway season tickets to some local productions. That could be a great opportunity for some future dates!

-Take her on a super awesome Cruise!!! They have some really great deals out there on the Internets. Shop around. If she's not into boats, think of some other fabulous weekend away. I hear that Biltmore is especially nice.

-Gift certificates! These days you can get them for just about everywhere. Try one to her favorite restaurant or shop. A word of caution, though, those gift debit cards from banks often carry surprise hidden fees. I got one from JP Morgan Chase as a rebate on some tires. We tried to use it and found out that they were taking $3.95 off every month after the first three months since it was issued! So do her a favor and please do not buy one of those horrible scam gift cards! You can't even use them everywhere, and they are a huge hassle.
