Things get pretty stressful this time of year. After all, trying to wrangle presents for each and every remotely important person in your life can put a squeeze on even the most well-organized individual.

Hence, as Christmas draws dangerously near, Yahoo Tech is here to help polish off your gifting list with some expressive, funny, and personalized GIF suggestions. Because, let’s face it, you were probably going to give up and mail bland holiday greeting cards to half of the these people, anyhow. Giving the gift of GIF is a much better way to go than that.
