Ooohhh… the time has come… the last minute frenzy to get Christmas shopping done so as not to disappoint your loved ones! Even though we’ve had a full year to prepare, most of us will be on a serious mission for the next couple of days, in mad search of that perfect gift for everyone on our gift lists.

Enters this week’s photo gallery! We have selected 8 amazing last minute gift ideas to get you started on your challenging quest. We’ve picked a little something for everyone – from cooks to kids – and all these items can be found in a variety of favourite local stores like Sears, Home Depot, Soft Moc, Ikea and La Senza. Short of these cool suggestions, the only tip we can offer is to hit the crowded malls with at least some idea of what you are looking for… oh, and arrive early!

Good luck!
