On the day writing this, I think we all still have plenty of time to get those Christmas Gifts, however time is running out and maybe you’re reading this with only a couple days left until Christmas.  Or maybe you’re like me and have saved shopping for Christmas Eve : )

In any case, in the words of Bob Marley, “don’t worry…be happy.”  Why?  Because there are still options available to you.

If you want to go on a short trip to the store, you can always stop by your local shopping mall for a wide selection of stores and gifts for each person on your list: earrings for Mom, toys for your nephew, a video game for your son, a cute bath set from the Body Shop for your sister.

For a cheaper option, stop by a Walmart in your area.  They carry all of the above, often for much lower prices.

Both of the above are things that I’m in the habit of doing.  But if you’re really short on time, gift certificates may be just what you’re looking for.  I’ve given them in the past, but generally think of them only for bookstores or Starbucks (which can be great gifts).  Recently, however, I’ve come to see that the kinds of gift certificates available are practically endless!  You can find great green gifts for babies, green gifts for coworkers, for teens, for techies, gifts for him, gifts for her, and many more!

Giving gift certificates is not only good for late Christmas shopping, but it’s also a fantastic way of going green this holiday season.  By giving gift certificates, you save gas and reduce polution by staing at home.  You lower waste by reducing packaging and keeping your loved one from returning a potentially unwanted gift.  And if you order from an online store or a digital gift, you save even more.
