Looking for last minute Christmas ideas? I’ve had a lot of people ask me for last minute Christmas gift recommendations. So here they are. These are all available locally in book and department stores, and also available from Amazon, where they are still offering “in time for Christmas” shipping.

These are all personal favourites of mine, by which I mean that I have personally read or used these, and can personally vouch for them, and for their being great gift items!
