LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Chris Olsen from Botanica Gardens always has great advice on home and gardening projects.
This time he's getting you ready for Christmas with the perfect last-minute gift ideas, plus tips for dressing up your gift cards.
First Segment: The Perfect Last-Minute Gift
If you are like Chris, believe it or not, he waits until right about now to get his Christmas shopping done. He has found that when you are stumped on what to get certain people, then buy several small items and then place all these items in one nice size box. Even if the items are rather simple in nature and thought, 3 to 5 little items means you took some time to think it through. Click on the video to see some examples.
Second Segment: Gift Card Accessories
I know that so many of us want cash or gift cards instead of an actual gift. Sure, it's easier then shopping all over town for that perfect gift, but let's be honest, it feels so thoughtless. So, why not include gift card accessories? This year Chris bought gift cards and tied each one to a small tinsel Christmas tree. He picked out different color trees to match each person's personality. Then Chris made gift bags (small plastic bags) full of small assorted ornaments and attached those as well.
