Here's a way to get your shopping done fast & get people what they want
Here is a plate from 1909 I bought for 1.99 at the Thrift store, one of the all time best places to find gifts for everyone! Truly and you are lessening your Carbon foot print Online shopping has become an incredible way to find out what people want just look at there Facebook, Twitter, or Blog.
When people surf the net, the things they look at start to follow them, as if to say "Hey don't forget about me, you looked at me more than once. I think you might like me

@gilt This is a Walter nude holdiay tunic
@gilt Cynthia Rowley's fun & creatively fashionable way to dress for a holiday park! I love it all at Gilt Target, MyHabit, Outnet, Opensky, Uncovet, Amazon, are dynamo sites for fashion following & people who are interested in the great buys , High heel sneakers, Thick Cuffed Sandals, layering pieces & fashion finds before the masses find it.
Brain Pickingly, Gizmodo, One of a Kind, Lost in E Minor & Threadless are super finder places for out of the ordinary gifts.
For the Highfalutin & gadget extradinary is the MoMA store, and think about it any Museum store is worth it to check out b/c they have smart people, smart people look for out of the box, off the hidden path, treasures one will not find anywhere else.
John Derian, Tracy Reese, ModiOperandi, Farfetch, YOOX, Joss & Main, Lyst, and Refinery29 other great finds there
Now I do NOT buy anything online without a Promo Code. You can find these babies buy typing in Promo then store you are interested in. You can put Promo Discount, coupon then store. What I have found being a shopper online is that even the stores are hiding them right in front of you. I will not name them but they begin with a T and they have daily deals you can get on a list for, practically any store you like has this service. It's great. I ordered presents last night and got 35$ off the order by reading then at Ebates I will get % of cash back for ordering through them. Just remember before you order go to the Ebates site find you store and hit the button that says you are on your way to saving 4% back cash when you are done with this order. Easy as pie.
A painted dress I found at ebay
Etsy & Ebay are still my favorite places, to find vintage, new, handmade, and unusual gifts.
Last but not least by a LONG shot don't forget those local boutique close to home, for me Tattered Cover doesn't get skipped ever. They have the best staff, they know the best books and they will wrap it beautifully for FREE!!!Don't here that word to much anymore.
If the budget is just so tight, like for me for year this is what we did. I grabbed a group of friends and had a Saturday bake day. Not just any bake date but the best cookies around bake day. You bring your A game to this party and it is a party just make sure you have a kitchen that 4 to 5 people can easily without stabbing each other is big enough. We had an accident once, ER aren't fun but thankfully the ER was full of cute Doctors who liked cookies so our friend was stitched up quick, gloved for the rest of the day and use good plates, they will be heavy. People really love them.
Budget gifting. Go to your local craft store or Micheal's (with that coupon)I have used Mason jars, or big glasses with tops and fill them with whatever. Bubble gum, ornaments, whatever fits your budget.
Pier One, Micheal's all have ornaments, Pier one has had animals for the last several years and if you have a glue gun get yourself a tiger and put a cowboy hat on him, a giraffe, crown or cape, funny things for funny creatures is my motto.
