It is already the third night of Hanukkah and Christmas is less than two days.  Hopefully you were good this year and finished your shopping last week and your gifts are already wrapped.  But if you've been naughty (like me) you're probably in panic mode scrambling around to find last minute stocking stuffers and gifts.  In an effort to help you streamline your shopping, I've included my gift guides.

If you have time to browse in a bookstore, take a look at these three guides:

book guide 1

book guide 2

book guide 3

If you need stocking stuffers or a nonbook gift, check out my nonbook gift guide.  If you're short on cash, check out my nonbook gift guide that won't break the bank.

If you're in an absolute rush and are going with the gift card option for a big chain bookstore, I recommend going with a gift card to Borders.  While you're there, sign your recipient up for their Border's Rewards Program and they can get weekly coupons emailed to them.  The program is free and does not expire.  If your recipient is a loyal Barnes and Noble fan, you can't go wrong with the Reader's Advantage Card.  The card costs $25 and will give an additional 10% savings every time they use it for the next year.  They will also receive additional coupons as part of the program.

And if you're looking for a truly unique holiday gift, why not pay off a loved one's library fines?
