We are less than a week away from Christmas at this point. Hopefully, you're pretty close to finishing up those Christmas lists. But what do you do if you forgot something (or someone) for Christmas? Will any stores in Western New York be open?

Tips For Buying Gifts Last Minute Before Christmas

When we picture buying gifts on the last couple of days before Christmas, normally you picture chaos, right? It's a bunch of people running from store to store trying to find that one gift that they haven't been able to find yet, or rummaging through stores trying to find the last gifts available on the shelves. Remember, though, that it doesn't have to be that way. RetailMeNot has come up with some tips to keep in mind that could help you through:

In-store pickup exists now - You can buy things online and pick them up at the store without having to dodge crowds.
Same-day delivery is a thing too - It costs a lot more, but it could be worth it if you have a lot to do and it will come right to your door.
You can buy digital subscriptions - Really strapped for a last minute gift? Buy a digital subscription and have all the details emailed to you immediately.
