For last-minute holiday shoppers, see what's new in 7 Twin Cities malls

It's almost Christmas — is it time to start shopping?

More than one-third of holiday shoppers say they have barely started shopping or have a lot left to do, according to a survey by the Consumer Technology Association.

Part of the delay can be blamed on all-consuming schedules that allow little time for shopping. Another reason is that a lot of people hate shopping, said Marshal Cohen, chief retail analyst at the NPD Group.

"There's no question that you get a fair number of people, about 23 percent, who hit the mall only during the holidays, primarily guys and people who work," he said.

For the shopper in need of inspiration in the final hours, we asked local mall reps: "What's new in your center?" Here's some of what you'll find at retail hubs that responded — Burnsville Center, Eden Prairie Center, Galleria and Southdale Center in Edina, the Mall of America, Ridgedale in Minnetonka and Rosedale Center in Roseville.

Some of the renovations were extensive, like at Rosedale Center, but most are new stores. New restaurants and entertainment options also were added and have been included, in case Santa's looking for a different type of gift card or the family needs a winter break outing.
