There are two types of people: those who have their shopping lists checked off right after Black Friday and those who are still scrambling to pick up their final few gifts seconds before stores close for the holidays. If you’re the latter (*raises hand*), you still have enough time — not much, but enough— to grab some gifts that are more thoughtful than whatever is within arm’s reach at the gas station convenience store on the way home to your parents’ house. Here are 12 last-minute stocking stuffer ideas that are so fun and useful that everyone will be begging you to be their Secret Santa next year. Bonus: They’re all under $25.
