As amazing as surprising people with gifts may be, sometimes shopping for the right gift can be a hassle. Add to this procrastination and a busy daily schedule, and forgetting gifting altogether is not uncommon. Fret not, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it’s easy to come up with an excuse. For instance, you can blame it on stock shortages at the shops or the unbelievably slow shipments due to lockdowns.
But this won’t do it either, right? If you truly care about the person and putting a smile on their face is a must, or you simply have a big event ahead and can’t bear the shame of going empty-handed, we’ve got your back with some last-minute gift ideas. You can thank us later!
Tasty Edible Treats
Food can always be your best bet because tasty snacks improve even the worst of days and moods. I’ve never seen anyone cry after eating mouthwatering chocs, have you? With the option of ordering a same day hamper delivery, you won’t have to worry about lacking a present for that special day or event you have going on as there are various gift baskets you can pick from.
If you know the person well, then you know the exact bits and pieces of edible delicacies he or she would appreciate. From chocolates to crackers, cheeses, and licorice, there’s the right food for anyone’s taste. Lucky for you, there are also many options of drinks to complement them with, including wine, bubbly, beer and gin from the alcoholic and tea and coffee from the non-alcoholic.
In case you’re aware of their likes and dislikes, and you want to make it even more special than getting ready-made hampers, why not create your own. Also, you’ve got the chance to buy themed same day delivery gifts like pamper hampers which in addition to edible treats also come with items for relaxation like aromatherapy candles, skincare, slippers and bathrobes. Then, there’s also the option to get a picnic basket full of sweet and savoury treats for the outdoor dates.
Buying for a person obsessed with travelling? Well, given that due to the pandemic travel was somewhat challenging and even put to a halt for some time, you can bring the world to them by getting them a hamper with various snacks from around the globe they can indulge in.
Healthy Edible Treats
Okay, still keeping it in the realm of foods, one of the problems of modern-day people is not being able to come up with the nutritious meals required on a daily basis. A person doesn’t have to go through a weight loss journey to need a well-balanced diet and to reap the benefits of ready-made wholesome meals – the kind that arrives at their door and all they have to do is heat up and eat.
If you can’t come up with some idea about a present, and you’d want to buy more than same day delivery hampers, consider ordering them tailored nutrition in the form of meal plans for a week or month. This is a perfect gift if you want to make every day special for persons you know well, their tastes and body goals. But hey, even if you don’t, you could always ask.
A Treat for Their Beauty
Who doesn’t like the thought of maintaining healthy and youthful skin for as long as they can? Regardless of whether the person is obsessed with beauty care or not, the truth is we should all (men and women alike) maintain a skincare routine with the right products. Using this chance, you can easily come up with the ideal gift consisting of beauty care from some of the top Australian skincare brands. Add to these presents some chocs and other delicacies and you can count on gift success!
To treat the beauty inside and out, brands like Kora Organics whose founder is none other than Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr are a great choice because of the ingredients used that make you happy and treat your mind and soul at that. This is the case of rose quartz which is known for its calming properties that some of the Kora products are enriched with. Not surprisingly, Kerr is such a huge fan of them she even sleeps with crystals under her pillow.
Travel Essentials
Ran out of ideas on what to buy them but you know them to be travel enthusiasts? You’re in luck! There’s a wide range of travel essentials you can get them to ensure they’re safe on the go, like the SteriPen as part of the bare necessities kit.
And to help them travel hassle-free with a baby, add an item like the UV sterilisation wand that’s perfect for disinfecting the pacifier on-the-go. In case you know they’re up for travelling now, during the pandemic, having in mind private home rentals are considered to be safer than hotels, getting them an AirBnB gift card is another thoughtful present they’re sure to love. The best thing about it is they can find various accommodating options in various locations around the globe.
Complementary Gift Cards
When you feel like you should complement the same day hamper delivery orders or the skincare products with something else, there are plenty of gift cards to pick from depending on what the person is into. For instance, if they like to binge-watch their favourite series or stay tuned to new ones, Netflix or Disney subscriptions are mandatory. When buying for frequent travellers, luggage is always a safe bet but if you don’t know the exact piece of luggage that would suit them best for their travel needs, simply get them a gift card and they can pick their own from a wide range of options.
Buying for a pet parent? Why not choose a gift card for their beloved furry friend instead? They could get the subscription to whatever their favourite animal needs, be it healthy nutritious food, toys or beds. If this isn’t for you either, and maybe you’re actually surprising an artist, how does getting them their own supply of watercolour paper sound to you?
As for the avid readers who use every chance to bury their head in a book, an e-reader sounds like a must. If they already have it and use it well, you know what you’re left to do – get them some digital books they’re sure to love. It’s always good to do a bit of research for this one to be sure on their exact favourite genre.
