What's Your Go-To Last-Minute Gift?

Your mom doesn't need to know you only *just* remembered to get her something in time for the holidays.

So time has managed to creep up on you and you realized you still haven't gotten gifts for your mom, your secret Santa, or your best friend. Oops. What's a last-minute shopper to do?!

Will you play it safe with a seasonal candle in a nice glass jar?

Or you might want to find them something fun, like a cross-stitch kit, that'll also keep them busy and give them a creative outlet to unwind with?

Maybe you'd like to gift something practical but personal, like this mug, to make it seem like you *totally* didn't wait for the last second to pick something out?

Whatever your go-to last-minute gift is, I want to know all about it! Tell us in the comments (and share a photo if you can!) below for the chance to be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post.
