Find Last-Minute Christmas Gifts in Saratoga

With all of the tree trimming, cookie baking and partygoing, there is so much to do during the holidays that it's easy to leave shopping for Christmas presents until the last minute. But by then, the malls and chain stores are usually chaotic and the mere thought of battling crowds is exhausting.

Here are some ideas for easy gifts that can be bought locally and require little stress:

• Go to Butter Paddle, 14510 Big Basin Way, Saratoga pick out some pretty bathroom soaps with a matching towel and soap stand for teachers, relatives and neighbors.
• Go to Floral Fantasia, 14440 Big Basin Drive, Saratoga, for festive, holiday-inspired bouquets, or wreaths with candles that would make nice centerpieces for a friend or neighbor’s Christmas dinner table.
• Go to The Book-Go-Round, 14410 Oak St., Saratoga and pick out a few fun titles for the children in your family, or your kid’s friends.
• Go to The Prolific Oven, 18836 Cox Ave., Saratoga and order a festive cake or box of cookies that would be a delicious complement to holiday dinners.
• Go to Lavenier Spa Salon, 20601 Third St., Saratoga and give someone in your life who needs a little relaxation a gift certificate for a manicure, pedicure or spa treatment.
