30 Thoughtful Last-Minute Christmas Gifts That Are Here to Save the Holidays

Have their favorite celebrity deliver a personalized message through Cameo. If you're gifting to someone who is obsessed with reality TV, loves a certain music artist, or is very into sports, a video message from the person they idolize is the ultimate gift.

Once you figure out which celeb you want to deliver your message (e.g., Lance Bass, Gabby Douglas, or Sammi from Jersey Shore), you can purchase a video message from them and let them know who and what it's for. The hardest part will be keeping the surprise from your recipient!

Bespoke Post is a men’s-focused marketplace that's ideal for any lifestyle. Grooming essentials, kitchen- and barware, style upgrades, and even 420-friendly accessories are available and theirs for the taking.

Sending an e-gift card their way gives your recipient a chance to splurge on goodies from Bespoke Post's vast collection of indie brands that may not be on everybody’s radar yet.

Don't risk giving a lackluster last-minute gift because you ran out of time to go shopping. Greetabl lets you select, package, and send your present from one easy online location.

Choose a custom design for the outside of the box and fill it with your choice of sweet little gifts, from candles to jewelry. Then select your favorite photos of you and your recipient to have printed on the inside of the box, which will fold out into a collage (and personal note) for them to keep.

This one’s just fun. Nothing brightens someone’s day like a little marshmallow sweetness, and this quirky last-minute gift will send them a taste, a decent sampling, or a whole box full of scrumptious flavors each month. Past flavors have included shamrock shake, peaches and cream, and salted caramel.

Choose a one-off gift or send them as a subscription for 3, 6, or 12 months. According to the maker, these marshmallows are made with fresh ingredients and fish-based gelatin, so pescatarians can enjoy them, too!

This is one last-minute gift that will provide days, if not weeks of great eats for your recipient! ButcherBox is a food subscription service that's known for their excellent-quality meat and meticulous sourcing.

If you're gifting for an omnivore and avid home cook who could use a little break on their grocery bills this time of year, get them a ButcherBox Favorites bundle, give them a heads up that it's coming in a few days' time, and prepare for the outpouring of gratitude.

Just one of ButcherBox's many one-off gift boxes, this one includes the motherlode of meat: grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, and heritage-raised pork sausages and bacon, to name just a few highlights. Plus, the entire 14-pack box costs just $159 with free shipping!

Surprise the plant lovers in your life with a new plant every month for 3 months. Not only will they get a new green friend, the plants come with terracotta pots and saucers for repotting.

You can even choose what kinds of plants to gift, like only sending pet-friendly varieties or whatever Horti's monthly choice is.

Who doesn't love coffee? The Bean Box Sampler Gift Subscription is sure to keep the caffeine lover in your life satisfied for a while.

Even though the final, expertly curated selection of four 1.8-ounce bags is a surprise, you'll get to choose their roast type (i.e., light, medium, dark, espresso, or even decaf!), whether the beans come ground or whole, and the frequency of shipments. Choose from a single box to recurring shipments for 3, 6, or 12 months.

We like this last-minute gift idea from Bean Box because whether “last-minute” means a week away or that very day, they’ve got you covered. The first box ships just about 2 days after you place the order, but the gift can also be sent instantly via email.

One of the best things you can give is the gift of knowledge, and with a MasterClass subscription, they'll have the opportunity to explore tons of new topics.

This platform features more than 70 classes from famous people like Gordon Ramsey, Steph Curry, Natalie Portman, and Anna Wintour, who all teach the secrets to their success.

Bring a smile to anyone's face with a recurring flower delivery that'll brighten their day. The Bouqs Co. allows you to choose anywhere from a weekly to a quarterly delivery (and everything between) of a variety of bouquet styles, starting at $40 per shipment.

You can change your plan any time, choose to gift only for a certain number of deliveries, or select from any of their bouquets for a one-time shipment.

This last-minute gift is all about divine timing. For your most mystically inclined friend or loved one, give them a virtual consultation with tarot expert Annie Gebel (also known as Soul Mother). They span from a quick, three-card reading to a nine-card reading for a more in-depth look into their soul's hidden desires.

Need an out-of-the-box, last-minute gift idea? A membership to JIGGY's Puzzle Club is pretty much the perfect gift to keep your recipient entertained through the cold winter months.

Available in 3-, 6-, or 12-month increments, each shipment includes one new 500-piece puzzle, along with fun goodies and exclusive content. Also, these puzzles are truly works of art — a percentage of every sale goes directly to the female artist behind each design. The puzzles can even be framed!

If they're a tea lover, they need a subscription to Sips By. Each shipment contains a selection of premium teas from brands based all over the world, based on their flavor preferences.

It works like this: You send them the e-gift card containing a 3-, 6-, 12-, or 24-month subscription, they create a Sips profile, and then they receive 16 cups worth of tea each month.

Instead of giving sweets on top of more sweets as a last-minute gift idea, try a gift credit to Daily Harvest. It's one of our favorite meal-subscription services because the frozen, single-portion meals are all healthy and easy to prepare in the microwave, stovetop, or blender, and the variety is seriously impressive.

The brand's harvest bowls, flatbreads, and smoothies are also total game changers for anyone who's working or parenting from home for the long haul. And their pints of dairy-free Scoops are a sweet (but not too sweet) treat to enjoy any night of the week.

This last-minute gift takes just seconds to digitally send to your recipient, but it'll give them years of enjoyment. Cozy Earth is one of our new favorite brands for sublimely silky, intriguingly cool, bamboo sheets — we've never slept on anything like them.

This gift puts the tough choice of what to get in their hands instead of yours: Their famous sheets? Buttery-soft PJs? A stack of their new waffle-weave towels that are as soft as they are absorbent? Or ... all of the above?

We’ve gifted Milk Bar’s digital gift cards for all sorts of occasions and to many different recipients, and our favorite part is getting their hyper-enthusiastic reaction as soon as it hits their inbox.

While the famed NYC-based sweet shop has just a handful of other brick-and-mortar locations (in Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Washington D.C.), they offer nationwide shipping, so your recipient can enjoy those satisfyingly sweet treats wherever they are.

Don't skip out on the Apple Cider Donut Cake Truffles — they're a limited-time special, but we highly recommend grabbing them while they're around!

Keep the good times rolling and the vino flowing. Winc's monthly wine-subscription service sends a curated selection of bottles to the recipient, based entirely on their palate preferences.

Four bottles come with every package, and there are no surprises. While Winc provides suggested picks each month, users can also go off the board and choose something entirely different.

We love gifting decadent food gifts that don't have to be enjoyed immediately, and Goldbelly is exactly that. It isn't an ordinary takeout site — the brand offers nationwide delivery from hundreds of different restaurants. (It was also a lifeline for many restaurants during the height of lockdown in 2020.)

The gift cards are available in increments of $25 to $200, or you can enter a custom amount. Plus, if you want a last-minute gift with an element of surprise, Goldbelly also offers monthly food subscriptions delivering the best pizza, barbecue, ice cream, and cookies in the entire country.

Many book lovers know to always shop at local, independently owned bookstores, and Bookshop.org has made it even easier to support both authors and indie sellers.

Choose a gift card amount from $25 to $1,000 and your giftee can spend that amount at any number of different bookstores through the Bookshop portal. This is a great last-minute gift idea for a far-away bookish friend so that they can support their favorite mom-and-pop bookshops.

There's no doubt that they've heard all about Our Place and the game-changing Always Pan, but the brand has lots more to offer. For the person in your life aspiring to stock the kitchen of their dreams with top-notch cookware and tableware, send them a digital gift card to Our Place.

On their site, they even show how much $50, $100, and even up to $250 will get them. (A Home Cook Duo, in case you're curious.) We know they'll be thanking you, so you can thank us later!

Sustainable style never looked so good. All of Girlfriend Collective's clothing is made from either recycled or organic materials, and the brand produces its products ethically and responsibly.

Their e-gift cards come in amounts from $25 to $200, so you can decide how much you want to splurge on their behalf. Plus, everything they make, from leggings, bras, sweats, and more, is so comfy.
