The Lazy Girl's Last-Minute Holiday Shopping Guide

If you're like me, you're busy as hell and waited until the last minute to do your Christmas shopping. 

Actually, let's be politically correct and call it holiday shopping because Donald Trump can really just eat shit with his nonexistent "War on Christmas." Does this offend you? Well, I figured I'd put my political views right at the top so that if we have to, we can part ways before either of us catch feelings. 

Still with me? Excellent.

Anyway, Joe and I aren't really getting each other anything this year because we're saving for our wedding. I mean, we said we weren't getting each other anything . . . . Joe? Are you reading this? You better not get me anything! But if you do, I obviously have something up my sleeve, so whatevs. 

The good news is that most of this stuff is available on Amazon Prime, so you should be all good to go, you little last-minute shopper, you. (And if you don't have Amazon Prime, I don't really know what to tell you about life in general). 

Let's begin, shall we?

Shit for Him (or Her)

W&P Design Carry-On Cocktail Kit $24 from Amazon

For people who like candles but would feel a little better about receiving one if it has the word 'beer' in it.

This is the super dope little speaker box that spins on record players (as seen on Shark Tank).

Shit for Her (or Him)

Because really, who doesn't love BPA-free gear in millennial pink?

Being politically correct is a lot of work! But it's necessary work, so toughen up.

So what about wrapping? Fuck wrapping! (I mean, unless you really like wrapping presents, but if that's your thing, you probably had your holiday shopping done months ago.) Last year, I just ordered these pretty boxes from Amazon, which look very chic and require no wrapping:

Gift Boutique Holiday Nesting Boxes $16 from Amazon
Gifts Inc. Nesting Boxes $10 from Amazon

Feeling any better? Well, I hope so. And if not, why don't you get some shit for yourself too?

Well, I gotta go get ready for the Jay Z show we're heading to tonight. Stay grinchy, folks.
