Holiday 2021 Gift Guide: Last-Minute Gifts That Don’t Require Wrapping

If you are a last-minute holiday shopper, I feel you. I know a lot of people who thrive under pressure. My dad was one of them.

Whatever your reasons or goals are, I have put together a list of last-minute gifts including gift cards and gift box subscriptions you may want to know about.
