15 Gifts That Don't Require Shipping For Late Bums
This piece was written by the Cracked Shop to tell you about products that are being sold there.
You messed up. You put off your gift shopping, and now here it is, Christmas Eve, and Jingle All the Way-ing it during a pandemic is strongly ill-advised. Don't panic: Just because you crapped the bed doesn't mean you have to lie in it. Just send a digital gift instead. These gifts don't require shipping, so they'll arrive whenever you schedule them, and they're probably less expensive than whatever you were gonna get. Less wasteful, too. Yeah. Now that we've got your speech figured out, take a look:
