When the holidays start to creep up on us, a scary thought starts to form, “I forgot to do my shopping.” Do NOT let this happen to you! Holidays are busy, and our mind is bouncing around from thing to thing; our work, holiday parties, family gatherings. Sometimes we forget that we have not started our shopping. Fortunately, for us last-minute gift buyers, there are all sorts of ways we can squeeze in some crunch time shopping so that we do not leave anyone in our life feeling left out from receiving a thoughtful gesture. Even if that thoughtful gesture was cutting it close.
Here are some of the last-minute gift ideas for the holidays or even for a birthday:
Gift Cards
Probably the least effort gift you can get that people will still appreciate. Everyone loves a gift card to their favorite store or for their favorite shop. It is simple, but it is excellent because of that reason. Even for our gift getters in our life that we don’t know how to shop for, perusing the starbucks menu gives us some ideas for gift cards for a coworker. One of the hardest things about holiday shopping is trying to find gifts for people who are picky to shop for, but gift cards can help alleviate some of that stress.
Subscription Services
This is one of the hottest trends for gift ideas. Subscription services are fun because they are cost-effective, but they are also long-lasting. Giving someone a gift is fun and exciting, but what is more exciting is knowing that they will be getting that gift each month. You can get subscriptions for nearly everyone in your life regardless of their interests too. Stuff like shaving memberships that send a new facial hair care kit each month, new and fun socks each month, and even a subscription for something like a movie and TV streaming service are great ones!
Body Care Basket
Compiling a little basket full of body care and wash products is a quick and easy gift that is also very useful. It can be made for any guy or girl in your life that deserves a little personal care. You can add soaps, bath bombs, oils, face washes, and masks to give them the most out of their daily hygiene and care routines. This gift idea is thoughtful, easily affordable, and can be done in less than a single afternoon, then no more worrying about that gift!
Conclusion
Even if you left your holiday shopping to the last minute (don’t worry, I won’t judge), there is still time to get it all done. Cramming in some last-minute gifts is part of the holidays, but they do not have to be low-quality gifts. Getting your coworkers gift cards for their favorite stores, sign up a friend or family member for a subscription service, or making a basket of self-care products for a loved one are great last-minute gifts that will surely get you praise.
