Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas that Keep on Giving

So, you've waited until the last minute to get that special (or maybe not-so-special) somebody a gift for Christmas? It's not too late to grab up a quickie gift and maintain the appearance of giving a gift that keeps on giving.

Entertainment is generally a safe bet. Most everybody goes to the movie theater, rents dvd's, watches television, or buys music. Following are some Christmas Gift Ideas that keep on giving for you to fall back upon if you find yourself in a bind.

  • A Tivo Box with a subscription to Tivo.
    If you've never seen Tivo in action, you're missing something special. Tivo totally revolutionizes the way viewers watch TV.
    Tivo's website claims that the Tivo Box ships within 24-hours and that the shipping is free. The accompanying subscription gift cards run between $50 to $300, making the total gift cost from $180 to $430.
  • A Netflix or Blockbuster Gift Subscription
    Both Netflix and Blockbuster offer Gift Subscriptions, varying from 1 month in length to a year. Wow! To have free dvd rentals for a year! I know I'd be happy to receive free movie rental for a year! The cost of the gifts cost from $9 to $108 depending upon length of subscription and how many movies out at one time.
  • A gift card at your local theater
    For some reason, I just love getting gift cards at the movie theater. Going to the theater nowadays is soooo expensive, so when I get to just walk right in, present my gift card, and step on in, I feel like I'm getting away with something! Most theaters let you specify the amount a gift card is valid for.
  • An Itunes Gift Card
    As with movie gift cards, there's something special about not having to pay for music you really want to purchase! Though you can purchase these from Itunes/Apple and have them shipped directly to you, the gift cards can be readily found at many retailers in major cities. The cost of the gift cards are generally between $15 and $50

I hope this list has been helpful to you, and I do wish you a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

JOE LOVE
