Still doing some last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve?  Well, forget last-minute present panic. Finding the perfect Christmas gift for your friends and family just got a whole lot easier. 

For your bookworm hubby or father-in-law: Snag the latest title from his favorite author or, for the true wordsmith, a collection of crossword puzzles from the New York Times. If you're not comfortable choosing a specific book, a gift card to Barnes & Noble is sure to put a smile on his face Christmas morning and keep it there long after.

For your tireless mama: There may be no harder job on earth than being a mom, especially around Christmas time with all of the hustle and bustle of the season. To the woman who gave you life, give the gift of well-deserved relaxation. Treat her to a day at the spa with a hot stone massage, a smoothing facial or a new cut and color. (We hear the team at true Salon knows how to do it right!)

For the fashion-forward lady in your life: Help your best friend and sister look like a million bucks on New Year’s Eve with a lust-worthy ensemble from Banana Republic, Ann Taylor or fab’rik. Pick up a pretty top to add sparkle to her Christmas morning, or up the style-ante of her most basic outfit with a statement necklace, a hip new pair of shades or an eye-catching clutch. Who needs Santa when you have so many chic options at your gift-giving fingertips?

For your favorite tiny tot: It’s no secret that kids fly through clothes faster than Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. Pick up a new ensemble from GapKids or Gymboree to keep them well-fitted in the New Year. Start a fun family tradition by gifting the kids (and yourself!) a new set of pajamas to open on Christmas Eve.

For your food-loving co-worker: Make the holidays a little tastier for your office mates with a gift card to one of their favorite lunch spots. (Panera Bread, perhaps?) Or, sweeten up their Christmas season with a gift certificate to Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt where they can sprinkle on toppings to their heart’s content.
