    Last Minute Christmas Gifts

    Published: Dec 19, 2013 ยท Updated: Aug 25, 2019 ยท This post contains affiliate links.

    10 ideas for last minute gifts to give and where to buy them to get them in time for Christmas

    Only 6 days until Christmas! Are you ready?!

    Don't stress if you're feeling a little behind! I have some store-bought gift ideas today.

    This is a collection of random gifts that I am either asking for Christmas this year or I have received in the past that I loved.

    Links are included for where you can order these gifts and still get them in time for Christmas.

    (Also, don't miss these other gift guides: The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide, Stocking Stuffers, Kids Gift Guide, and homemade gift ideas)

    Living Well Kitchen Last Minute Christmas Gifts

    1. Roku

    Perfect for your TV and movie loving friend, especially if they aren't into spending tons of money on cable each month.

    They have 4 different options. It's cheaper than Apple TV plus you can stream Amazon Prime {and lots of other things} through it.

    Speaking of Amazon Prime... if you have Amazon Prime, you should be able to get almost any gift to your house by Christmas, especially if you order by tonight or tomorrow.

    But seriously, the Roku is awesome! There are tons of channels and options. It's not just for movies and shows; you can also stream music from it as well as connect your phone or tablet and stream your own music, videos, and photos. There's even an app that turns your phone into the remote.

    $29-99

    2. Kitchen Gadget {that you'll actually use}

    There are a few items in my kitchen that I can't live without: my mini food processor, immersion blender, cast iron skillet, stand mixer, and amazing blender.

    Last year, the Recipe ReDux was last minute gifts for kitchen gadgets. I did one for a cast iron skillet. Be sure to check the ideas out; there are tons of good options.

    $10-600

    3. Toms

    I love the fact that when you buy a pair of these super comfy shoes, they give a pair of shoes to someone in need. I wear Toms pretty much everyday. I love the ones I got last year, and they're perfect for when it's a little chilly outside.

    Just for a note on sizing, I usually wear between a 6 & 6.5 and have a 6 in my regular Toms. I got the boots in a 6.5 so I could wear socks with them {however, they are warm and cozy without socks}. I'd be happy in a 6 or a 6.5 in the boots. I'd err on the size of a smaller size if you're getting the Slip-On shoes but those are my personal preferences/thoughts.

    $53-115

    4. Clarisonic or Foreo

    Y'all, these contraptions that clean your face are amazing! It seriously rocks my socks off! I can't live without it! I got it two years ago for Christmas and am head over heals in love with it. I use it everyday. It makes you blackheads all but disappear and is great for dry skin or oily skin or combination skin {the Clarisonic has multiple options for what time of brush you can get - I use sensitive or delicate. The Foreo is gentle enough for any type of skin}.

    If you don't have one, you really should get one! They are a little pricy but worth every dime.

    $120-225

    5. XL Wine Glass

    This gift made me laugh out loud. A wine glass that holds an entire bottle of wine. Ha! Isn't this amazing?!

    The Friday Night Wine Glass is in World Market stores but not available online {you might want to call before going because they are sold out in some stores}. I also found it on Amazon

    I'm giving this for a Dirty Santa gift along with a bottle of wine.

    {Disclaimer: I'm not encouraging you to drink an entire bottle of wine, but it's a funny gift, especially for your wine-loving friend or family member}

    $10-20

    6. Harry & David Pears

    I look forward to a box of Harry and David pears every year. I'd be terribly sad if I didn't get them. They are the most perfect, delicious pears.

    Today is their last day for standard shipping to get it by Christmas. However, don't fret if it doesn't make it before Christmas Day. Pears are considered a great food to eat on New Year's Day according to ancient Chinese culture that pears symbolize immortality because pear trees live for so long. Just a little fun fact.

    $20-30

    7. Picture

    I know, I know... this isn't terribly exciting but it's a great gift for parents and grandparents. Surely you have at least one good picture of yourself from the past year that you can print and pop in a pretty frame. Bonus: every year, you can give an updated photo for them to put in that frame.

    This is a quick present too. You can pick out the photo online and send it straight to a store near you. I did one from Snapfish to Walmart on Tuesday and it took less than one hour.

    $0.19-? {depending on if you buy a frame and if it's expensive}

    8. Toddy Cold Brew Coffee Maker or Primula Burke Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker

    You know that coffee concentrate you can buy at the grocery store or even your local coffee shop? Did you know you can make that yourself?

    With a cold brew coffee maker, you can do it yourself.

    Cold brew coffee has less acidity than hot brewed coffee and it might have a little less caffeine in it too. You can save a lot of money making it yourself, and it's great to make iced coffee in the summer and you can turn it into hot coffee in the winter.

    Plus, you can keep the homemade coffee concentrate in your fridge for a few weeks, to satisfy your coffee craving almost immediately whenever it strikes. {Side note: you can always use decaf}

    To add a little extra something, you could include a bag of their favorite coffee and maybe even a cute coffee cup or mug

    $35

    9. Gift Card

    You really can't go wrong with a gift card; I promise.

    It may not be super original but who doesn't love a gift card?!

    Some ideas: their favorite spot for lunch, their favorite place to exercise, their favorite place to shop, Amazon, a Visa or American Express gift card, iTunes, Groupon, the list goes on... just make sure it is something that your recipient will use

    $5+

    10. Membership or Subscription

    Similar to a gift card, this is an easy gift that people will enjoy. Plus, "it's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year..."

    A subscription to their favorite magazine is always appreciated {just double check that they aren't already subscribed}, and you can also get them for the Kindle so it doesn't clutter up their house.

    If you are buying the aforementioned Roku, why not include a subscription for Netflix or Amazon Prime? Or for your music loving friends, you could give them a subscription for Spotify or Pandora.

    Bonus: Nordstrom has tons of different gift options for children, teens, juniors, women, men... And you can order by 3pm EST on December 23 to get your things in time for Christmas! Plus their price options are range from very inexpensive to very fancy. I love looking in the Juniors department for inexpensive but still cute things for adults.

    And don't forget... Be sure to check the shipping for the items you are buying.

    Hope this helps!

    What's on your Christmas list this year?
