No time for delivery? We've found great gift options ready for curbside pickup.
The holidays are nearly here and it's crunch time. A number of online retailers have already hit their shipment deadline for getting packages to your door by Christmas, though a few still remain. If you haven't finished your shopping, or if someone unexpected turns up, don't worry -- we have you covered. We've found some great gift ideas that are in stock, in store and able to be picked up near you.
As a disclaimer, understand that some locations may not have stock of certain items. If you run into a gift that isn't available at your nearest store, use the store locator to see if there are other stores nearby that can accommodate you. Likewise, double check the date before purchase. At the time of publication, these products were available to be picked up in store or curbside before Christmas, but the closer we get, the more inventory turnover we'll see.
Below you will find all sorts of great gift ideas, ranging from planners to slippers and all things in between. No matter who turns up, you will find something they'll love. We've sub-divided our favorite finds into popular categories to make it easy to browse. Once you know what type of product you're looking for, we have items listed under their respective retail stores so that you can pick retailers closest to you. If you're not sure, just click on the link and type in your zip code under store locator.
We'll keep this list updated as we get closer to Christmas.

Books and stationary
This journal is for everyone, but it's particularly designed for people who have trouble keeping up with journals. The idea is to use the creative and quirky prompts to inspire art and free-thinking.
