	from Jen Hubley This is the first year in I don't know how long that I finished my Christmas shopping more than 24 hours before my family descended. Don't think I feel superior though: I still have to get a few of those teeny last-minute items that you buy just in case someone buys you a present you weren't expecting.

In the Spotlight

Last-Minute Gifts for Kids
My favorite item in this list is the fun accessories. Everyone jokes about not wanting to get socks for Christmas, but you notice girls never say they don't want cute tights or hair-ties.

Best Exercise Gifts
Just about every town has a sporting goods store. Also, everyone I know is on a diet right now. I think it's a preemptive strike against holiday weight gain. Anyway, if you know someone who's already a fitness buff, these are good gifts. If your friend isn't working out, uh, I'd get something else, honestly. Nobody likes a hint.

Tasty Homemade Treats
On the other end of the spectrum, you can always give people baked treats. Even people on a diet can usually enjoy these. (And you can all laugh as we practice moderation.)
