7 Last-Minute Christmas Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List
2017 has flown by, and Christmas Day is less than a week away. When it comes to gift shopping there are two types of people. Those who buy and wrap every gift at the start of October, and those who wait until December 20 before they even think about it. If you are one of the latter, you might find yourself scrambling around to find gifts for your loved ones – but don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with a list of 7 useful last-minute gifts to satisfy even the hardest person to shop for in your family.
1. Gift Cards for Experiences
Gift cards are usually a classic last-minute gift, but you don’t have to settle for an iTunes or restaurant gift card anymore. Instead, you can get them an experience. There are many options from skydiving to driving a Ferrari or a day-trip to the Spa – something for everyone. Head to Living Social to browse online for experiences.
2. Amazon Prime Subscription
Everyone secretly wants an Amazon Prime Membership, but they don’t want to pay for it. An annual subscription is $99, or $33 per quarter. Give the gift of two-day shipping, movie and TV streaming, access to Audible and more.
If somebody you are buying for already has an Amazon Prime membership, get them a Fire TV Stick instead.
3. Framed Photos
Photos are always a lovely idea for anyone who likes to decorate their home with family photos. You can get pictures from your camera or phone printed professionally at stores like Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart. It costs next to nothing, and all you need to do is find a pretty frame.
If you’ve got a spare afternoon, you could consider making a scrapbook instead. Your family member or friend will surely appreciate the effort and time you’ve put into their gift.
4. Massage Kit
Who doesn’t love a good massage? You’d probably be happy if you got this gift, right?
Portable massagers costs between $15 – $35 on Amazon, and are the perfect gift for those who need to release some stress or people that struggle with aches and pains.
If you want to give someone the gift of a professional massage, instead of giving it yourself, head to Living Social.
5. Candles
Nothing makes a person’s home feel more cozy or cute than candles. If you know somebody who is fond of them, choose some gorgeous handcrafted tall ones or some candles that have delicious Christmas scents. Head to Amazon, or a Bath & Body Works store in your area to buy this gift.
6. Movies and T.V Shows
We all know and love a movie fanatic – or maybe a huge Game of Thrones fan?
Most people stream T.V rather than watching cable these days, but these services don’t offer every movie or T.V series ever made – especially not new releases.
DVDs and Blu-ray discs still make a great gift and fill the gap of T.V shows that can’t be watched on demand. A box set of Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad is surely a fantastic gift for the T.V geek in your life.
7. Portable Battery Pack
A handy gift for anyone with a phone – and that’s just about everybody these days. Battery packs cost less than $40, and you can even get ones that charge multiple devices or have a built-in speaker. From frequent-travelers to a teenager, battery packs make an awesome gift.
