Beat Santa to the punch: What to buy right now if you left your Christmas shopping to the very last minute (yet again)
NY Post
‘Twas the day before Christmas, and you still haven’t bought gifts for your spouse — nor the rest of the fam (not even a mouse).
No need to panic, though. This last-minute gift guide not only features coveted presents for even the hardest-to-buy-for on your Christmas list, but it also includes gifts that are still in stock in some of the most popular, central Manhattan stores.
However, with most stores closing by 6 p.m., you’ll only have a 12-hour window left to check everyone — naughty and nice — off your shopping list.
So forget the unoriginal gift cards or an envelope of money that will most likely be tossed aside — and possibly forgotten — and instead, snag one (or many) of the items included in this all-inclusive, last-minute holiday gift guide to fool your loved ones into thinking you put a ton of thought and consideration into your holiday shopping this year.
Get going, though, because the clock is ticking.

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
