Five last minute gifts under $100 to get your partner for the holiday

For most of us, getting gifts for someone you care about is a nightmare.

What if they don't like it? 

What's going to happen if they don't?

Will they ghost me, vanish into thin air and never speak with me again?

Will they turn into Smaug from the Hobbit and bite my head off, burn the city down and take the Lonely Mountain and all its gold tucked away within it?

Because of that, you put it off to the very last second and then feel crappy that you still haven't gotten anything for the one you love. With Black Friday come and gone, it may feel like there’s nothing good for you to buy.

Well, buck up buckaroo's, just because you put off your Christmas shopping till the very last second doesn't mean you can't get something special for the one who matters most in your life. Here are five things below $100 you can get your significant other:

1) Zak! Tumblers

You ever notice how everyone in the summer aggressively shows off their Yeti cups as if you are living in one of their commercials. When you try to get one, they’re overpriced and out of stock?

Don't bother with it, instead, go to Target and take a nice leisurely stroll to the back of the store and pick up one of these. They work just as well and won't make you question the value you put on things.

Speaking from experience, these bad boys are amazing and it only costs $9.99 and comes in a variety of different shapes and sizes, included wine cups. No one at the frat will be able to tell the difference between this and a Yeti cup, you'll fit right brah.

Get it now at Target.

2) Socks

Okay, grow up. 

It's time we acknowledge that everyone, man or woman, needs a good pair of comfy socks in their lives. It's like a sweater for your feet and everyone holding down a professional job deserves to wrap there feet in sweet sweet love. 

Anonymous Ism sells slub crew socks for $20 a pop.

SideBar: DO NOT get this as the only thing. This is a throw-in gift paired with other things. Violators will be smacked in the head with a rotten banana.

3)  Wallabees

Speaking of comfort for your feet, why not invest in a pair of Wallabees from Amali or Nairobi? You could spring for a pair of Clark's, but those shoes go for over $100, just go for the cheaper shoes that look just as stylish and work just as well.

Plus, why wouldn't you want to buck the trend and get a shoe that no one is rocking right now?

If you're having reservations about the style and look of these clunky mother fuckers, everyone from David Beckham to members of the Wu-Tang Clan have rocked these shoes. Todd Synder recently released a collab with Clarks also.

So yeah, these shoes are in again.

Here they are on Amazon for $60.

Another Sidebar: If you're on the fence with this shoe, do some research about what shoes your significant other likes before getting these. Seriously these shoes can cause a divide in the strongest bonds.

4) An A24 Screenplay Book

If you're dealing with a lover of all things film, A24 should be the first place you look. Earlier this year, they released three hardcover versions of the scripts: Ex Machina, The Witch, and Moonlight.

They sold out immediately.

However, the company is printing second editions of these books to be delivered in January. Of course, the obvious drawback is that the books won't get here by Dec. 25 so this depends on how well you know your partner and if they're cool with waiting.

That being said, you literally cannot go wrong with any of the items sold at A24, from free posters to beach towels, the film company has a ton of things that the movie lover in your life would want.

Go check their shop out now.

5) Amazon Kindle Fire

Want to get something nice for the tech junkie in your life but can't afford to break the bank for a new Apple iPad? Amazon offers tablets just as good for a fraction of the cost of literally any Apple product.

These tablets have come a long way from just being able to display pages of a book. Now, you can download Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services as well as games and books. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes as well to match whatever budget you may have.

Granted, these tablets don't have the processing power of an iPad, for those that like technology but don't need it to hack into the government's mainframe, this is perfect.

Sold almost anywhere that sells technology, give em a look on Amazon if you want the added leisure of ordering them from home.

Christmas shopping is a nightmare. Hopefully these items gave you some inspiration in finding something for the one you love. With any luck, you’ll become a natural at shopping for others and I can spend my time drinking margaritas on a beach somewhere in Cleveland.

One can dream.
