MORE IDEAS IN A PINCH
SHOP LOCAL: GIFT CARDS THAT FEEL PERSONAL
Think hair, nail, waxing, or massage studios that they already love… cover their next appointment.
You can also gift bra fittings, theater tickets, or any experience-based treat that feels tailored to them.
CHEERS ON YOU
Pick up a locally made growler, wine, or spirits. Bonus points if you pair it with a handwritten note about why you chose it.
GO DIGITAL GIFT CARD
When in doubt, send (or print) a digital gift card. Fast, thoughtful, and guaranteed to get used.
MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION
Another fun idea is a magazine subscription. As long as you have your recipient’s address, you can surprise them with a gift all year long!
