 GourmetGiftBaskets.com Becomes A Procrastinators’ Paradise Yet Again Fast & Easy, One-Stop Online Shop Is The Best Place To Get Gifts For Everyone On Your List



Today marks the beginning of the seven-day countdown to the last day to ship items, ensuring that they’ll arrive before Christmas. GourmetGiftBaskets.com, a top national online gifting company, will send gifts up until 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 22 and maybe even later if the carriers will allow. In years past, diligent members of the GourmetGiftBaskets.com team have been known to chase after UPS & FedEx trucks or even drive up to their terminals, packages in hand, to deliver as many last-minute gifts as possible to destinations country-wide -- just in the nick of time. In all likelihood, this year will have its own set of legendary stories as final gifts are packed and shipped.


Because the big holiday is on a Tuesday this year, procrastinators think they have another weekend to dilly-dally. That leads to even more procrastination than usual among shoppers, which was anticipated at GourmetGiftBaskets.com. The online gifting giant has seen more later-than-usual purchases this year than ever and they’re expecting a tidal wave of truly last-minute online shoppers next week. The last time Christmas was on a Tuesday, in 2012, the company experienced the same rush of procrastinators logging in, trying to find items that were not already sold out!

Knowing the trends as well as they do, GourmetGiftBaskets.com’s gifting experts made sure to introduce 100 new items this year to their vast selection of everything from gourmet food baskets, towers, and suitcases to crates, cheesecakes, and mouth-watering popcorn combinations. And while they are well-stocked and ready for this year’s final holiday push, they have already sold out of 15 items and many other offerings are flying off the shelves. So, procrastinators, the sooner you can get on over to GourmetGiftBaskets.com and place your order, the better!

“One of the best parts about our ‘We’re Here For Procrastinators Week’ is that procrastinators don’t need to surf the web, going to dozens of sites just to find something nice for everyone on their list,” said GourmetGiftBaskets.com’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing Jason Bergeron. “They just need to go to GourmetGiftBaskets.com and take care of everyone on their list in a matter of minutes. Our one-stop-shop is the perfect place to get something for business associates, kids, parents, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers, teachers, cat sitters, dog walkers, local police and fire personnel, and anyone else. We really do have something delicious and smile-inducing for everyone.”

In fact, the top-selling gifts this year would be quick and easy selections for many people. They include the gorgeous Christmas Classic Gift Basket , a top seller for several years, the Happy Holidays Snack Gift Box , and the fun and festive Gourmet Holiday Sleigh Christmas Gift Basket . Many people just love the adorable sleigh in this gift, which has become a wonderful keepsake item.

Procrastinators in a real rush can jump-start their shopping by going directly to GourmetGiftBaskets.com’s Christmas Gift Baskets page , which has many seasonal items to match any budget. That page alone has more than 20 items under $35.

To see the full selection of hundreds of delicious and delectable gifts, go to GourmetGiftBaskets.com now and place that order. Happy Shopping!

ABOUT GOURMETGIFTBASKETS.COM

 Just a Few of my Favorite Things.....Beauty Stocking Stuffers

GIFT IDEAS FOR THE GIRL WHO IS:

Chic, classy, and would much rather be in Paris

Erborian Glow Crème ($42, Sephora.com)


This multi-benefit crème primer combines Korean ingredients with French luxury to create the perfect all-over illuminator, highlighter, and makeup base. The lightweight crème will help skin glowing through the winter as it gives the skin a pearly radiance, and the licorice root extract in the formula helps leave the skin brighter looking.



Goutal Paris Alcohol-Free Waters ($100, us.goutalparis.com and Goutal Paris NYC boutiques)




For over three decades, the house of Goutal Paris has created luxurious long-lasting fragrances packaged in elegant, chic glass bottles. This year, the house created a delicate alternative to its best-selling scents called Goutal Alcohol-Free Waters – and the white glass bottle that distinguishes the line is a French girl’s vanity dream. The Waters contain natural ingredient, incredibly gentle when used on the body, hair and clothing, and are safe for sensitive skin. Scents include: Eau d’Hadrien, Rose Pompon, L’Ile au Thé and Songes.


Goutal Paris Crème Universelle ($90, us.goutalparis.com and Goutal Paris NYC boutiques)



Treat yourself with this delectably smooth cream, enriched with shea butter and oil, as it effortlessly seeps into the skin to protect, repair and deeply nourish it. The crème was uniquely created to flatter fragrance – thus intensifying and helping extend their scent.


Lauren B Beauty - Summer in Provence ($18, Laurenbbeauty.com)


This serene blue/purple nail polish gives nails a certain je ne sais quoi and was inspired by the French countryside’s blooming hydrangeas, lilacs, pungent rosemary, and iconic lavender.

I simply soak a cotton ball or washcloth with this amazing cleanser, and wash my entire face with it. It safely and effectively removes every trace of makeup. My skin is left feeling refreshed and deeply cleansed!

 Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Kids!


The holidays are approaching quickly! I tell myself every year that I am going to have my Christmas shopping done by December, but I never do! I am always doing last-minute shopping. 

I also find myself getting overwhelmed with finding that perfect gift for my loved ones. Kids especially, are hard to shop for. Trends come and go, and kids are often not interested in anything besides video games these days. 

I have compiled a few gift ideas below of toys that I know a child will enjoy and actually play with, rather than toss it aside after one use.

WHAM-O- The original creator of the Hula Hoop®, Slip N Slide, Frisbee®, and more, is launching an online shop this winter...and it will be fully stocked with all our original childhood favorites. Check these out

  • Snowboogie: Air Thunder Foam Sled, Animal Snow Tubes
  • Arctic Force: Snow Bow, Monster Sling Shot
  • Frisbee: Ultimate Frisbee, Frisbee Max Flight, Mini Frisbee Golf

I grew up with WHAM-O toys, and I have made many happy childhood memories using my slip-n-slide as well as my hula hoop. I am getting my son, Braxton the Air Thunder Foam Sled for Christmas this year because I have heard we are getting a lot of snow. Plus, we have the greatest sledding hills in our backyard!



MILK & SASS - The patented Macaron for Hair® is part high-end detangler, part travel mirror, and entirely Parisian-chic.

  • Dreamed up by the candy-inspired premium hair accessory brand Milk + Sass®, the Macaron for Hair® introduces a detangling brush and mirror compact that is every bit as novel as it is functional.
  • Macaron for Hair brings a fun, fashionable, and travel-friendly edge to the typical detangling brush. Amazingly effective, it introduces faster, damage-free detangling for all hair types. Available in a rainbow of flavors.
  • Holiday edition golden Macaron for Hair available in November.
  • Available in Urban Outfitters nationwide this week!
  • Starts at $12.99

Most little girls seem to love combing their hair, and this amazing brush helps you to untangle your hair without pulling or breaking your strands. I love mine! It truly gets out those horrific rat's nests that I often get. This Milk & Sass detangling brush would be the perfect stocking stuffer!


HOBBYTRON.COM – HobbyTron is the largest online retailer of drones, remote control toys, airsoft guns, and more. 

  • Spider-Man: Jetpack RC Helicopter (recommended for those with flying experience), Herocopter Helicopter (recommended for beginner flyers)
  • Drones: Venom Pro GPS, Mini Orion LCD, Striker X, Striker X Glow
  • Flying UFOs: Licensed Flying UFO Ball Helicopters

I am getting my son this really cool Spider-Man Herocopter Helicopter. I think he will really enjoy it. (The Spider-Man Herocopter Helicopter is available on HobbyTron.com for $49.95, typically $79.99 on other sites.)


REAL COOKING PRINCESS CAKES- Real Cooking's Princess Cakes Deluxe Baking Set empowers kids to create, bake, and design their very own princess and fairy doll cakes using fresh ingredients.

  • Real Cooking's Princess Cakes Deluxe Baking Set fosters creativity, confidence, child/parent/sibling bonding, develops life skills, is a great party activity, and is way more fun (and rewarding) than playing videos games or watching TV.
  • Each set includes all the essentials you need to create two princess cakes. All tools (including kitchen utensils), mixes, frostings, and decorations are included in the kit. Just add fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, and milk. Delicious marshmallow-based fondant molds the dresses.

How cute is this baking set? This would definitely be the perfect gift for a princess-loving little one, and a bonding opportunity for Mommy and Daughter, or whoever wants to help create this masterpiece!


Don't forget! Valentine's Day is around the corner! Look here for more hints to help you find great gifts!

 Last Minute Gift Ideas from Touchstone


Still have people to shop for? Don't worry! Touchstone has some great gift ideas that will allow you to find the perfect gift for everyone you have left to buy for! Below are my top picks:

Flying Dogs by Julia Christe


An expansion of the photo essay that went viral and was featured everywhere from the Guardian to the Huffington Post and Today Show, this fun and stunning photography book captures adorable dogs from a unique perspective: mid-air. This hilarious collection of photos is perfect for any animal lover. And never fear! Vets and the dogs’ owners were always on site. So cute!

Life Works Itself Out (and then you nap) by Keiya Mizuno and Naoki Naganuma


A runaway bestseller in Japan, now available in English for the first time, Life Works Itself Out is an unforgettable collection of adorable cat photos and sage life advice that will appeal to fans of Texts from Mittens, I Could Pee on This, and Grumpy Cat .
Humans could learn a thing or two from cats—and Life Works Itself Out is here to relay all of kittendom’s accumulated wisdom to mankind, one loveable photo and wise aphorism at a time. I love kitties, so I LOVE this book!

Pusheen Coloring Book by Claire Belton


Pusheen returns in a delightful coloring book perfect for fans of I Am Pusheen the Cat. The Internet’s favorite chubby, tubby tabby is back in a purr-fectly cute coloring book featuring adorable kitty drawings that will charm cat lovers and coloring book fans everywhere! Such an adorable coloring book! Kids and adults both would love this!

Cracking the Cube: Going Slow to Go Fast and Other Unexpected Turns in the World of Competitive Rubik’s Cube Solving by Ian Scheffler


A journalist and aspiring “speedcuber” attempts to break into the international phenomenon of speedsolving the Rubik’s Cube—think chess played at the speed of Ping-Pong—while exploring the Cube’s rise to iconic status around the globe and the lessons that can be learned through solving it. For Scheffler, the road to “sub-20” is not just about memorizing algorithms or even solving the Rubik’s Cube. As he learns from the many gurus who cross his path, from pint-sized kids to engineering professors, it’s about learning to solve yourself. My husband is a Rubik's cube master, so I got this book for him for Christmas. I know he will love it.


You can find each of the titles above on Amazon! Just click the links above and place your order. Merry Christmas!
