It's finally December! A month that calls for celebration, fun and lots of cheer. As the year comes to an end, the seasonal holidays also calls for a season of shopping. While we try to get most of it done through November and whenever we can as early as possible, there is always one or two renegade gifts that seem to get left out. But worry not, last minute shopping can be fun and creative too and to save you some time, we compiled a list of gift ideas for loved ones that you can get in store and online.
