If you, like us, are feeling that 2008 has reached its final days in the blink of an eye, you may be in a blind panic about getting last minute Christmas and Holiday gifts.

First of all, there is no shame in handing over a Christmas present mid January, (well, maybe a bit of shame.) But try to position a belated gift as a clever way of extending the festive season into the New Year when everyone would otherwise be bored and depressed.

Secondly, most of our favourite companies sell gift certificates, which not only ensures you’re not left empty-handed and red-faced when standing round the Christmas tree, but also comes across as a lovely, thoughtful way of allowing the recipient to choose a gift that suits them perfectly.

Of course MOO sells gift certificates for some of our printed products including MiniCards, Stickers, Notecards and Postcards. But if you’ve already bought a few of those and are looking for other gift ideas, here are a few of MOO’s favourite companies to check out;

Personalised Photo Books by Blurb

Snazzy design T-shirts by Threadless

Bespoke designed Bags by Timbuk2

Our friends at Styleshake, Etsy and JPG also have lovely products to turn into gifts.

Phew. Now we don’t have to worry about Christmas gifts until about midday on the 25th.
