Last Minute Gift Ideas for the Holidays

With less than four sleeps until Christmas, and the last weekend winding up quickly, you are probably still looking for last minute gift ideas that will be a hit.

I am sure you are not alone in your quest. I’ve rounded up a few helpful ideas that might come to your aid.

Gift Lantern

Get a lantern and fill it with items according to the individual’s personal preference. I suggest jotting down more items on your list of the person’s taste in case you don’t find some of the choices.

Plus, wrapping it easy! Or stick it in a gift bag, and Bob’s your uncle!

Cutting Board Tablet Holder

Etsy has quite a variety that you’d like if you don’t feel like making one yourself. However, if you’re up for the DIY challenge, then check out this website to learn how. This is great for the cook in your house or in your inner circle. It shows that you appreciate their cooking even if it was a last minute gift idea!

Housewarming Bucket Last Minute Gift Ideas

If you have friends who are moving into a new home, you understand the pain of the loaded expenses they are going through. Give them a helping hand as it is the season of giving….but without getting your hands dirty.

Get a bucket from the Dollar Store. Head on to the hardware store to pick up the items they’ll surely need like painter’s tape, paint brushes, nails, screws, etc. If you’re unsure, ask a sales clerk to help you pinpoint what they’ll most likely be using in their new nest.

Chocolate Heaven Gift Basket

When the weather outside is frightful, nothing’s more soothing than curling up with a steaming mug of liquid chocolate. This oh-so-cozy gift basket is packed with all the fixings for a hot chocolate that is darn good. It makes a great gift for the students, teachers, and colleagues on your list.

This particular edition is available from Warm Wishes Gifts. You can find an equivalent in your city as postal shipping is not necessarily an option this late in the game.

Practical Present (giving to the less fortunate)

 

Buy a Practical Present e-card for your friend or loved one today. It’s the quickest way of sending a present, so they make for great last minute gift ideas. You can personalise your e-card message. The recipient will be able to download a gift card and information about how the gift you’ve chosen for them is helping to alleviate poverty in the developing world.

Girly Perfume

 

For the girly girl, the glam lady, or the audacious, let them experience a couture overdose. I’ve never been a fan of Juicy Couture in general but when I smelled this on a friend, it made me want it.

The Viva la Juicy Gold woman is couture all the way. Spinning an addictive web of glamour and decadence at the centre of her golden world. This opulent rendition of Viva la Juicy indulges the senses with luscious wild berries, a kiss of honeysuckle, and a luxurious elixir of golden amber, melted caramel, and vanilla. Find a bottle at Sephora.

For the Chocolate Lover

For those that need a dose of chocolate regularly, you cannot go wrong with gifting them a Godiva. Trust me, I speak of experience. Give me a Godiva chocolate box and I’ll love you forever!

In store, you have the opportunity to take their gold standard gift and personalising it according to the recipient’s taste. Hand-select from custom chocolate and truffle assortment. Each Godiva Boutique has over 40 chocolates and truffles to ooh and aah over, so the possible combinations are endless.

Chrismukkah Money Gift

If you’re celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah, otherwise known as Chrismukkah, check this DIY project.

Giving money is likely the most exciting gift anyone can get. But look at how much more fun it when the money has taken up three-dimensional shapes.

Handmade Bracelet

A braided hex nut bracelet is great for the teenager on your list, or your hipster younger sister. I don’t even fit in any of these categories and I’d be happy getting one. It’s so easy to make, all you have to do is look at the photos to create your own. You can get some beads from Etsy. This one falls under my favourite DIY last minute gift ideas.

And there you have it folks! Hope this list helps you in your hurrying to beat the clock!
