Trying to help you through the holidays, if you are prepared and on schedule then, by now everything is finished and you are just waiting for the weekend. Congrats if that is you. If you are the last minute person, today is the day you decide you best start getting things together and maybe think up a partial list. I know because that used to be me.
This year I have fallen into what I consider the average range of the spectrum. Some things are bought and the wrapping needs to start tonight so that anything that was forgotten can still be picked up before closing time Saturday.
So for those of us that still don’t have everything “wrapped up” for Christmas, here are some tips from the pros. Think about it, you are known for last minute and then your gifts look so impressive that everyone thinks you must have hired a professional. This morning’s blog post could possibly give you results that are almost that impressive, haha. How is that for a sell?

Good luck with the last round of festive prep and when it comes to gift coverage, when in doubt, use more tape.
