8. Support Local Small Businesses

While these larger stores are perfect for last-minute gifts, don’t forget about your local coffee shops and home decor stores, too. There’s something extra special about supporting small businesses during the holidays. A gift card to your favorite local coffee shop (shout out to Cozy Brew) or a unique, handcrafted home decor item from a nearby boutique (like Seagrass or Accent Prone) can make a thoughtful and personal gift. Even a gift card from these stores will be much appreciated.


Other awesome and easy gift card ideas to popular places would from places like: Old Navy, ILIA Beauty, Honest, Sephora and Warby Parker!
