It's a funny thing to be darting around looking for holiday presents, and simultaneously holding tight to your last paycheck (that is, if you are lucky enough to still be getting one). But if there is anything a slow economy teaches us, it is to buy locally and mindfully.

If you are still looking for some last minute holiday prezzies, check out these inexpensive yoga-themed gifts that can all be bought online (meaning: no gas needed). And feel free to write in and suggest some ideas of your own!

+ The beautiful Yoga Studio on Divisadero is now officially a YogaWorks studio. Give a friend a gift certificate for classes there to see what it's like under new ownership.

+ Books are personally one of my favorite gifts to give and receive. Check out local yoga teacher Sarah Power's new book Insight Yoga, or any of the yoga books at local bookstore Green Apple (type in "yoga" in the search box).

+ If your friends like to watch more than read, hook them up with any of the great yoga DVDs put out by San Francisco company Pranamaya.

+ A gift certificate for a massage at International Orange is a great gift at any time of the year, but it's best during the winter months when we all feel cold and sluggish. A massage at IO includes free use of the steam room, too. Ahhhh.

+ Everyone is always up for some new yoga gear. Of course, it's hard to tell if your new girlfriend or boyfriend's booty is a size small or medium. Buy them a gift card at lululemon and let them go crazy.

+ Giggle Fish puts out the cutest eye pillows, which are made locally and smell yummy. Small, inexpensive, and perfectly portable.

+ Grab a new mat bag for that special friend whose old mat looks like a pack of hungry puppies went at it. Oonasera is a Bay Area company that makes yoga mat bags in original designs.
