20 MAY 11, 2017 RIDGEWOOD TIMES WWW.QNS.COM MOTHER'S DAY How to shop for Mom at the last minute Everyone needs to fi nd a great gift in a pinch from time to time. But just because you’re shopping last minute doesn’t mean these gift s shouldn’t be thoughtful. Here are a few tips to make sure that presents purchased in the 11th hour are appreciated and enjoyed. STRIKE THE RIGHT MOOD There is good news. You don’t need to break the bank on a day-long shopping excursion in order to fi nd great items. Consider simple gift s that create that special feeling of home, such as American Home by Yankee Candle. The line features several candles with diff erent fragrances for under $20. Jars, tumblers, tea lights and wax cubes all make warm, thoughtful gift s and are available at the grocery stores, drug stores and big box stores you visit every day, so you can shop conveniently. Visit YCamericanhome. com to learn more. GO GIFT CARDS Crunched for time? Not exactly sure what a friend or family member wants or needs? Opt for a gift card that you can easily email or print out and put into a card. Many third-party gift card aggregators exist online, where you can quickly dash to a website and complete your transaction. Large online retailers also off er online gift cards to help you fi nd a present fast -- no matter his or her personal sense of style or interests. SIGN THEM UP A subscription service is a gift that keeps on giving all year long. In this regard, you can think beyond magazine subscriptions these days. “Subscription boxes,” which offer great products on a monthly basis, are an on-trend and fun gift that can be purchased in an instant. Themes for boxes are as eclectic as your gift recipients themselves and include books, socks, healthful snacks and beauty products. WRAP SMART Having extra materials for quick gift wrapping just makes sense. Stay organized with a designated gift wrapping station that features greeting cards, tape, scissors, ribbon, wrapping paper, gift bags and tags. Gift bags and a bit of tissue paper can make a last minute gift go from fl at to festive in moments, so stock up on these items in a variety of sizes so you are always ready to wrap. Don’t get stressed about last minute gift ing. Having a few great go-to ideas means never disappointing. Courtesy StatePoint Happy Mother's Day!
