There's just 1 shopping day left until Christmas (unless you are one of those super procrastinators who shop on Christmas Eve)! Today is the day you really want to avoid the malls and big box stores. Think local and head into town.

Day 12: Local Gift Cards

Gift cards to local restaurants, shops—or even the movies—are always appreciated. How about a year's worth of pre-paid manicures to her favorite nail salon? Or free java at the coffee shop he can't live without! Dinner for two. A spa day. Free haircut. You get the point!
