The countdown has begun! Christmas and Hanukkah are just around the corner, with Hanukkah’s first day coinciding with December 25th for the first time in nearly 25 years. As both holidays approach, it’s time to prepare for our annual break from the blog until after the New Year. This will be my last post until I return the week of January 6th. While we’ll still be available for client appointments, we’ll be operating on limited holiday hours so that our team can rest and enjoy quality time with our families.
LAST-MINUTE HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR $100, OR LESS
The two busiest shopping days for Christmas are Super Saturday, the Saturday before Christmas, and Christmas Eve, which tells me there are a ton of last-minute shoppers out there. Shopping for gifts can be hard. Last year, my family decided to go the Secret Sanda route, and figuring out what to get just one family member proved difficult. It’s not always just about putting it off, it can also be about deciding what to buy.
Gift-giving doesn’t always end on December 25th. Hannukah extends until January 2nd and many people spend time between Christmas and the Near Year visiting and exchanging gifts with friends and family. I have curated some last-minute holiday gifts for $100 or less, many of which will arrive before Christmas. Check out my picks below.
Until we meet again in January, I wish you and your family, a happy, healthy, and festive holiday season.


I am done with shopping. Done wrapping. Done stuffing his stocking. Didn’t do any holiday baking. Did make reservations for 1. family early Christmas dinner on Saturday. 2. Christmas eve dinner with friends. 3. Christmas day brunch.
Now making Christmas ornaments of the new book I wrote. Do I need them? Of course, I NEED them. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without an unnecessary last-minute task.
