At this late date, you have VERY few options. If you were too busy (or lazy) to spend a little time and effort choosing just the PERFECT present for your PERFECT loved one, then shame on you.
Now, you have to PAY for procrastinating. Bring out the checkbook and eggnog. If the person you are giving the gift to has enough egg nog, they may not notice that you really didn't give any thought to the present...especially if the amount on the check is substantial enough to warrant a sincere thank you. If you can, take all of a minute and write a note as to a few choices ther person might consider spending this $$ so they think you put SOME effort towards the prize.
Maybe the note coulde say:
"I couldn't find anything as handsome (or beautiful) as you are so I wanted you to pick out what YOU want."
or
"Included with this check is the promise that I will make the bed for the next six months" (this worked great for my Dad one year when he had nothing for Mom's b-day...and then he re-newed the promise at Valentine's Day...Mom liked this present more than flowers, so she said...and don't 'cha know that ole Pop made their bed every day for the next 7 years)
And as my nephews say when currency is offered, "It fits perfectly".
Merry Christmas!
