Christmas is coming up in just days! If you haven’t had time to get a gift yet, here are some fantastic last-minute holiday gifts. There are so many ideas here to help you come up with just the right gift. Now, these gift ideas will work for Birthdays, Valentine’s Day etc.
So here we go!
Starting With Amazing Experiences:
* Tickets to a show, concert, or sporting event: This is a great way to give the gift of an unforgettable experience. Trip to Disneyland, tickets to see your favorite baseball team. Hint, hint, I want to go see the LA Dodgers! 😀
* Museum or zoo passes: A fun and educational outing for the whole family. The best place I even got to visit, was the San Diego Zoo! By buying tickets to your local zoo, you are not only getting to enjoy the animals, but your ticket cost also helps feed them!
* Gift certificates for a spa day, massage, or other relaxing activity. Probably the best gift you could give your partner.
* Cooking class: A fun and unique way to learn a new skill together. If your partner loves to cook? If possible, get them a ticket to see a cooking show, or classes by their favorite chef in town.
Food & Drink:
* Gourmet coffee or tea: A delicious and thoughtful gift for any coffee or tea lover. Who doesn’t love an amazing gourmet coffee? If you already know what they like? Why not put together a gift with a bag of coffee, or boxes of their favorite teas, and a really cute mug?
* Wine or spirits: Choose a bottle of something special that they’ll enjoy. If you know their favorite brand, and it’s not cheap? What a way to show you care, and you noticed what they love the most? 😉
* Homemade treats: Bake a batch of cookies, brownies, or other festive treats. Only if you know for sure that they are not going to have a bad reaction to what you have baked. 🙁 I know, it sucks, even I have to ask what someone how they baked the cookies, as I have issues myself.
* Gift basket filled with gourmet snacks and treats. You can get lots of snacks from the store, like create a basket for a movie night at home? Different types of snacks you would love to have while watching a movie. Just don’t throw any popcorn at the TV! 😀

Tech & Gadgets:
Now, this is to help those who are not willing to pay for another game for their gaming person in their lives. My son wants a Stream Card 😀
* Portable charger: A lifesaver for anyone who is always on the go. An amazing gift for those who are forever forgetting to charge their phones!
* Noise-canceling headphones: Perfect for relaxing and enjoying music. I have BOSE headphones, and I love them! Totally worth their money!
* Smart home device: Like an Amazon Echo or Google Home. We have in our home Google EERO that helps issues that we have dead spots in our house. The EERO help it so that we have wireless everywhere, instead of just in some rooms and not the others. Totally worth having!
* Bluetooth speaker: Great for parties and gatherings.
Personalized Gifts:
When it comes to personalize gifts? They aren’t really a true last minute gift. But here are a few great ideas anyway.
* Engraved jewelry: A timeless and sentimental gift.
* Custom portrait: A unique and cherished gift. Did you know that there are shops on Etsy, that will take your photo, and turn it into a piece of art? And many of them will have it setup so you can just download it and print it out yourself. Pretty cool idea, don’t you think?
* Personalized phone case: A practical and stylish gift. A really amazing idea if you are gifting a brand-new phone along with it. 😉
* Photo album or scrapbook: Filled with memories of special moments.

* Subscription box: A gift that keeps on giving all year long. Just be sure it’s subscription for something they would really enjoy. Check out this article – 62 Subscription Boxes That Are Probably Missing From Your Life
* Donation to their favorite charity in their name. BUT, let them decide which charity. I read somewhere that if you are giving this kind of gift? The person who was you are donating to their charity would like to know which charity, and even better you ask them.
Here Are A Few Tips for Last-Minute Gift Shopping:
* Think locally: Check out your local shops for unique and handcrafted gifts. There are many small businesses who offer some of the best handcrafted gifts. Look around, there are places beyond Walmart or Target for gifts.
* Utilize online retailers: Many online retailers offer fast shipping options, even for last-minute orders. I see you Amazon Prime truck in my area again 😀
* Consider e-gift cards: A quick and easy way to give the gift of choice. Just be sure to dress it up with a card!
* Don’t forget the importance of presentation: Even a small gift can be made more special with thoughtful wrapping and a handwritten card.
I hope this helps!
