Okay, folks, we're down to the wire now. It's time to click "add to cart" on those last few items you've been eyeing and make sure they arrive in time for Christmas.

Looking to round out your list with a few last-minute items? GiftingMap has suggestions for everything from hostess gifts to picks for the animal lover, many coming from Texas brands.

And if you're hoping that whoever's out there shopping for you is picking the right items, help make sure by taking a GiftingMap quiz and sending them your preferences. From now through December 25, exchange gift guide quizzes with three friends and you'll be entered to win a shopping spree worth up to $500 for yourself and $100 each for your trio.

Annie Digs dog beds
Why do regular dog beds have to be so unattractive? That's what founder Blair Erwyn wondered, and decided to create comfortable, lush beds for our furry friends that also complemented carefully chosen home decor. With eight color collections and four sizes from which to choose, now Fido can have a fancy place to rest.

Bird Dog Bay sweaters
'Tis the season for snuggling, which is made even easier with Royal Alpaca sweaters. "Royal" refers to the grade of the fiber, which comes from only the top 1-3 percent of all alpaca yarn and is sustainable, warm, breathable, and flexible. And to go underneath it, a brand-new selection of sports shirts that any man would love.

Holly Tamale kits
It's a fiesta in a box from the Texas Tamale Company, with everything you need to whip up two dozen chicken and beef tamales plus queso, beef chili, and jalapeño pepper sauce for topping. All kits ship frozen from Houston in a handy styrofoam cooler and will keep for three days in transit.

Juliska vase trio
Thoughtfully designed to evoke the romance of Europe's rich history in the decorative arts, this brand's alluring Bohemian glass is brought to life by master glassblowers in the Czech Republic. These dainty vases come pre-boxed for chic and easy gift-giving.

RabLabs coasters
Edged in pure silver and 24K gold, these slices of agate and gemstones are all-natural and mined from Brazil. Each one varies in color and pattern, and brings an elegant look to any side table.
