christmasChristmas is less than two weeks away, and if there are still loved ones on your shopping list, you may be feeling a time crunch. Here are some creative gift ideas from Guthrie County Iowa State University Extension that may do just the trick.

Extension suggests finding ways to be more selfless this holiday season, especially when it comes to grandparents. Gift ideas for seniors include: computer/technology assistance and creating unbaked, from-scratch cookie kits. On the opposite side of the age spectrum, Extension suggests funding day camps for younger family members or friends. For those in between, especially young parents, childcare can be a great gift that doesn’t require wrapping paper or bows. Extension also suggests buying gifts from local businesses and making the focus on not necessarily spending money on, but time with, loved ones.
