Confession: I Buy My Gifts on Amazon Because Fast Shipping—Here's What I'm Shopping
Natalie Cantell
If you're reading this story, I suspect you too are a last-minute gift shopper. For as long as I can remember, I've been guilty of buying a birthday card on the way to a birthday party or sending an e–gift card for a holiday gift exchange because I forgot to pick out a real one on time. The life of being a procrastinator isn't one I'd recommend, but it is one made much easier thanks to Amazon's speedy shipping (especially on some very chic Shopbop finds, you'll be thrilled to know).
Considering how many events I have coming up between Christmas, Hanukkah, December birthdays, and winter weddings, I have no choice but to get ahead with finding some very special, very stylish gifts for all my friends and family. Check out all of my favorite, editor-approved gifts, and watch your gifting stress melt away.
