Don’t panic
Last-minute gifts are out there
Last-minute gifts happen to everyone, so don’t panic. Giftgiving can be creative with these options.
Moving past the obvious gift card (which if all else fails is still a great idea), shoppers have options that are as easy as placing an order online for all types of goodies.
Believe it or not, there’s a subscription for nearly anyone, including movies, food, makeup, dog treats, wine, microbrew beer and even ones for dessert or book lovers.
Subscriptions aren’t only for magazines, either.
Makeup companies are using these venues to get their goods to customers via Birchbox, Allure Beauty Box and Ipsy. Foodies can find their sweet with NatureBox, Harry & David Dessert of the Month Club and even Snack of the Month from Popcorn Factory. The possibilities are endless.
Don’t forget your favorite binge watcher who has a Netflix account, or consider an Amazon Prime membership that can really come in handy in a pinch for someone who loves to shop online.
Other options for last-minute gifts for techies also can be imaginative and entertaining. Pick up some fashionable, yet practical Isotoner SmarTouch Gloves made for any smartphone user. Everyone loves a good phone case. These also can have the functionality component, but also express the personality of your recipient.
Streaming sticks like Roku also can grant access to users for Amazon, VUDU,
Netflix, Hulu, Google Play and more. Also don’t stress out about finding a phone charger. A portable battery is an invaluable gift for any age.
Fashionistas are always looking for a good accessory as well. Many stores offer gorgeous scarves, timeless earrings or even a trending bangle bracelet set.
Cocktail and wine enthusiasts also can be open to versatile gifts, from a quirky corkscrew to specialty liquors, featured wines, imported chocolates and unique glasses or decanters and flasks are fun to open. Pair these with some gourmet cheeses, crackers, and maybe a gift card to a premier liquor store can make the perfect gift.
