We all are bust these days so no one has time to plan your Christmas gifts long back. No salaried person or student has time to even think of Christmas presents earlier. Every one wants to meet the daily commitments and relax after that and on Christmas Eve everyone realizes they need Christmas gifts for their friends and family members.

There are also some people who don't want to spend much money on Christmas presents. Therefore, some people just take a half day off and bake cakes. This is very famous among students where they bake cakes and cookies for their friends. Everything for baking a cake is available in general stores and a self baked cake makes a great present. You can then wrap it beautifully with colored paper and ribbons.
