Beware of the Doghouse and Last Minute Holiday Gift Ideas

The last thing you want this Holiday Season is to give the wrong gift and send the wrong idea! Think carefully and save yourself from a trip to the doghouse.

Beware of the Doghouse is a brilliant interactive campaign for JCPenney created by Saatchi & Saatchi, NYC. Their creative work never seizes to impress me.

Below is a list of great ideas and lists to complete your last minute holiday gifts. I compiled it as I was making up my mind of what to get. The economy has not improved and most of us are cautiously measuring our spending. Last year, I wrote a post entitled, 15 ideas for Creative and Low-Cost Holiday Gifts, that you may also find beneficial. Many of them cost nothing. So on to the list, shall we?

Cool blog posts with plenty of smart gift ideas:

• Five Holiday Gifts for Nerds Under 100 Bucks by Social Media Rockstar Chris Brogan.
• Gift Ideas for the New Media Business Professionals by Mitch Joel (author of the 2009 hit, Six Pixels of Separation).
• Gift Guide 2009 by IttyBiz
• NPR also has a Good List of Books to Give.  If your friend does not like to read, here are 10 Awesome Books to Give Your Non-Reading Friends from FlavorWire.
• And to wrap it up, don’t miss 9 Awesome Kitchen Gifts and, 36 Green Gift Wrapping Ideas by Wise Bread.

And lastly, here are two free PDF’s you can attach on an email along with personalized Holiday greetings.

1. J.C. Hutchins (best-selling author of 7th Son) asked 11 best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, and storytellers for excerpts of their books. He tied it all together in a special holiday eBook sampler. Go get your free PDF titled, In The Nick Of Time! Holiday Sampler.
2. Seth Godin’s, What Matters Now, which includes 70+ Ideas from big thinkers. I read and  love it, even wrote a short post about it here

Happy Holidays to all!
