I feel like every year I always find myself needing some last minute Christmas gifts — whether it’s just some extra stocking stuffers, or I forgot about that one cousin at a family party, there’s always a couple things I’m scrambling to get a couple days before all the gift giving takes place! Here are some go-to last minute ideas I have either used, or will plan on it some time :)
The obvious - gift cards. Yes they may seem a little impersonal but lets face it, they are easy to get and they are sure to make the person happy (assuming you actually get them a card to a place they enjoy of course)
Make a spa day with them and provide the essentials. I like this idea for the ladies in my life - mom, sisters, best friends. Pick up a fuzzy slipper and robe, provide the bath salts, some essential oils, and a bottle of wine and give them one of the best gifts ever - relaxation!
Some type of subscription for a year (or a reasonable timeframe given the subscription). Maybe it’s for a show streaming service like Netflix, a magazine, or to one of those quarterly boxes that fits an interest of theirs
Instant Pot! Seems a little random on here but lets be real, it’s a pretty sweet little thing that just about anybody that wants to eat food could utilize
Himalayan salt lamp - again seems random, but they are so popular, can be decorative and I do believe bring good vibes and benefits
Food! Possibly one of the best options - this can be done by either going out to eat together or by bringing whatever they love to them
Movie night. Again different options; maybe you give them some theater gift certificates OR give them some of their favorite movies, and set them up with some popcorn and goodies for them to snuggle up with
Time together….sometimes the people closest in your life just want more of YOU time. Devote a couple hours - even a whole day - to someone you love. Walk with them, catch up on your lives, maybe just sit and do nothing. Just be together, present in that moment.
Good luck to all those out there looking for their last minute items!
