by Mishal Ali Zafar

Christmas time is definitely magical, but it can also get hectic. Not only are you in charge of the holiday decor, you have to do all the holiday shopping as well. And with all the things you have to juggle this season, you’re probably going to end up doing some last-minute shopping. It’s easy to shop for the ladies and kiddos on your list, but buying gifts for guys can get kind of confusing, especially when you're in a time crunch. So just for you, here is a list of 15 last-minute gifts for men that look more planned than they really are.

Guys are generally hard to shop for because they aren’t usually vocal about what they want, like your mom or your kids are. And trying to buy them clothes or shoes may not always be ideal, due to confusion of sizes and tastes. But the good news is that there are plenty of last-minute gifts out there that aren’t as boring as ties and socks.

Most of the items on this list are available in stores like Target, Best Buy, and on Amazon. If you don’t have Amazon Prime already — which gives you two day shipping — you can try it free for 30 days and get all your last-minute holiday gifts in a jiff. So no matter what kind of man you’re shopping for, this list has got you covered, and the best part is, you can have them in hand to gift wrap in no time.
