COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Lots
understands that last-minute shopping is an unavoidable part of the
holiday season. Nearly half of all holiday customers are still
shopping for important gifts in the final days leading up to
Christmas. This year Big Lots is focused on helping those
last-minute shoppers find the perfect gifts for their loved ones
without blowing their budget.

When every second counts, shoppers make the most of their
last-minute purchases in-store versus online, and more than 25
percent of those shoppers report feeling overwhelmed and "very
stressed" during the final week leading up to Christmas.
"This holiday season Big Lots has focused on providing
last-minute gift buyers with a wide variety of gift options at the
lowest possible prices," stated Andrew
Stein, Senior Vice President, Chief Customer Officer, Big
Lots. "Big Lots believes just because shoppers are short on time
doesn't mean they should have to compromise on finding a great
gift."
Big Lots holiday specials are designed for shoppers who are
pressed for time. Specials include a huge toy clearance with 50
percent off select toys (includes kids electronics, adult games and
puzzles); a huge selection of $5 and
$10 gifts; and 20 percent off all
plush or down-alternative blankets. And don't forget the giftwrap;
specialty single roll giftwrap and multipack bags are just
$3.50 each.
Last-minute holiday shopping has the potential to be stressful,
confusing and budget blowing. However, Big Lots has offered
shoppers the solution with unbeatable prices on the most in-demand
gifts this holiday season. Big Lots stocks new and exciting
products daily to ensure shoppers can always find the perfect gift
for everyone on their list.
