Christmas is Wednesday, and many of you may have put off some shopping until the last minute, especially with the abbreviated Christmas season.
But don't worry. There's no need to rush to the malls and big box stores and wait in line for hours for scarce merchandise. Shop local, save time, avoid stress.
Here are five local last minute gift ideas:
Hair Cut: The North Andover Barber Shop located in the Chickering Plaza is donating all proceeds from gift certificates this month to the Tommy Strong Fund, to help the family of Tommy Cox.
Boxing Lessons: Now through Jan. 31, at Title Boxing, you for $50 you can buy two weeks of unlimited classes, gloved and hand wraps.
Restaurant Gift Cards: These are especially convenient and great for those who enjoy a nice dinner out. If you stop by Jaime's to buy gift cards, make sure to bring mittens, hats and other items to donate for the Mitten Tree.
Spa Days: Give the gift of beauty and relaxation with spa gift certificates. Bliss has an instant gift certificate ordering system on their website.
Kids Gifts: Kids Karousel has a wide variety of items for the kids, from traditional classic toys to clothes and games.
Pastries: Feel like giving the gift of sweetness? Forget the stale old fruit cake. Head down to Frederick's Pastries for some gourmet treats.
