It’s crunch time and we’ve got your back for semi-last-minute presents. Especially if you buy via Amazon, with their signature 2-day Prime shipping, it’s the best way to avoid crowded malls and get presents on hand early for proper wrapping.
If you don’t already have a Prime membership, you can get a 30-day free trial!
Presents don’t always mean you need to spend the big bucks, either. You can keep costs down with your family if only the kids get presents and the adults do Secret Santa (or none if everyone is willing to sacrifice).
