Last minute gift ideas are usually the result of two things. One, you almost forgot about the person. or two, you hate shopping, especially Christmas, so much that you put it off until the last possible minute.
Either way, we have you covered! Here’s our essential gift guide for the ultimate last minute shoppers!
Subscription Boxes
Skip the gift card, grab a subscription service! It’s a gift that keeps giving all year around. And there is a box for everything. You can usually pick the timing of the box, so monthly or quarterly depending on the box. If you know the person well enough, you can personalise their box by answering questions about that they like, so they get a box specifically tailored for them.
Coffee or Tea
You can’t go wrong with a good quality tea or coffee. It’s perfect for the person who has it all. If you can’t get them a bag of their favourite coffee, try a prepaid card for their favourite cafe. It’s more personal than a gift card but all the perk’s of not having to go last minute shopping.
Audio Book Subscription
Websites like Audible are great for people who wish they had more time to read, you can download audio books to listen to on your everyday commute, at the gym, or in the car on the way to work. There are millions of titles to choose from, so they’ll be spoiled for choice.
An Experience Day
Experience days are great for the people who talk about doing things like shark diving, climbing the harbour bridge but just don’t have time, or always have an excuse to put it off. You can book a open dated experience for them on most websites or for others you can send a virtual gift card. It’s a great day out that they can plan themselves and maybe even take you along with them!
Colouring Book
Adult colouring books were a massive hit in 2016. They’re great for people who need to relax and destress, take 5 minutes and reconnect with their childhood! There are so many available this year with most franchises getting in on the trend! You can get a colouring book adaptation of their favourite movie, TV show or book! Complete the gift with a basket of supplies. Pencils, markers even paints and pastels. Hopefully, the stay between the lines.
Spotify Subscription
Up until this year, I thought Spotify was a useless app that was going to fade into the app store never to be seen again. Since than I’ve gifted it to people for birthdays and Christmas and never had a bad reaction! It’s the gift of music, and is a great gift for people who don’t have time to make playlists.
