Last-minute shopping can be frustrating for the holidays, but it helps to have a plan in place. When shopping online, you’ll want to factor in shipping deadlines so that your gift gets delivered in time. The holidays falls on Wednesday, Dec. 25, so it’s best to get your gifts shipped as soon as possible, or at least by Dec. 18-19, which is the delivery deadline for most online retailers — like Walmart.
