Looking for a last minute Christmas gift guide? You’ve come to the right place! With Christmas less than a week away, you could be one of those super-organised people who are now just waiting for the day to get here. Alternatively, you could be seeking a last-minute Christmas gift because you’re a little less organised. No judgement here; I vary from year to year. Here are just a handful of gift ideas you still have time to buy now, so the unorganised amongst us can stop panicking!
Last Minute Christmas Gift Idea: Clothes
Despite the Royal Strikes and generally Christmas postal chaos, lots of clothing places are still able to promise Christmas delivery for the next day or two. I ordered from Bad Rhino a couple of days ago and it came the next day – so that was a present ticked off the list. Clothing as presents can be a tricky one because everyone has different tastes when it comes to fashion and style. However, what I find is that everyone needs a few staples in their wardrobe so you can’t really go wrong with this. One of the things I purchased with a 3-pack of sweatshirts (they’re generously sized so I would size down) which I thought was exceptional value for money!
Last Minute Christmas Gift Idea: Vouchers
Vouchers might seem a cop-out when it comes to Christmas shopping, but this year I have gotten a couple of people vouchers for experiences that they can choose and book themselves. I’ve given this to one family as a collective gift for them all to pick from and share – that way, everyone is catered for. This one from Buy a Gift has tonnes of options for up to 5 people, so I thought there was bound to be something that suited everyone. They offer electronic vouchers too, so perfect for those super last minute Christmas gift ideas that we all sometimes need.
If Buy a Gift doesn’t have something that you love, then Red Letter Days could be just what you need – they have loads of gift ideas and even have a page on their site about guaranteed Christmas delivery times. They also offer electronic vouchers, so you really are well catered for in terms of making sure everyone gets a decent present this year, no matter how late you leave it!
Last Minute Christmas Gift Idea: Practical Gifts
Practical gifts might not always seem like the most exciting option, but they are usually something that goes down pretty well. Think about what your friend or loved one has told you that they really need, or something that has broken recently and you can look into getting something to replace this. Revision packs for teenagers can be a really good idea too, after all, they’ll be feeling the pressure of going back to school after the holidays so that could help to make life easier. We recently checked out a number of the GCSE revision guides for Science and they’re put together in such a fun, easy-to-understand way I think they would be suitable for everyone.
Check out delivery times, look to buy electronic vouchers and even check what you can get delivered for your Christmas food shop. However, most importantly this year (and every year) don’t panic about what you can’t do and what you can’t afford. If things have been ordered but don’t arrive them show people photos of what they have coming, or tell them there is something coming a little after Christmas, after all, that just means that they have something else to look forward to – which can only be a good thing!
