THE GRAND FINALE
Last Minute GIFTS & Stocking Stuffers
Calling all last-minute shoppers, how are you feeling? Okay, technically, we’ve still got plenty of time to shop before the holidays, but as I slowly but surely start to think about closing up shop for the year, it’s time to complete this year’s gift guide with my final list of ideas that offer quick shipping and are easy to get. In the spirit of being extra cautious, I suggest ordering everything by the 17th. If you’re living on the edge, the last day for 3-day shipping is the 19th. Amazon, of course, has the most generous deadline, offering Prime Members two-day shipping by the 23rd and one-day shipping by the 24th.
In case you missed the first five guides, I’ve got some fun and unique ideas that will arrive in time if you order soon with my fashion-related gifts, gifts for the home, lifestyle-based gifts, gifts of beauty and skincare, and gifts for family members. You can also explore the HOLIDAY tab of my blog to see previous years’ ideas and guides.
LAST-MINUTE GIFT IDEAS
WITH QUICK SHIPPING!
I wanted to share a few items we love, use and ship quickly. Kicking things off with this cheese board, as seen here! It’s a perfect size and looks beautiful for any size gathering. This automatic soap dispenser is a great way to keep clean and comes with a 20-second timer that works with Alexa. For the fashionista in your life, this mini clothing rack is the perfect size to display a week’s worth of outfits, as shown in my guide for five tips to clean out your closet, and doesn’t take up too much space. We recently bought this mini Nespresso maker for my in-laws. It’s a great gift to give because you can re-purchase new pods for them for the next holiday!
Umbrellas will always be gift guides because they are so underrated. No one wants to buy an umbrella until you HAVE to! I keep one of these near the door, my suitcase, and my car. Looking for a good hostess gift? I received this set last year, and I always get compliments from guests when they use it. If you have any golf lovers in your life, these Encore golf balls are a favorite of BK and me to use. You know when you buy a fresh, crusty baguette and it’s difficult to cut? This cutting board ensures a perfect slice every time. Although a splurge, it’s a fun gift for a bread lover and something they might not get for themselves.
I bought this deluxe set of creams for my mom last year, approved by Oprah, and it was a huge hit! It comes beautifully packaged, but you could easily buy it and divide it up and give it to different people. These stemless wine glass chillers seem like the PERFECT solution for anywho who likes their drink extra cold but doesn’t want to dilute it with ice. This hot sauce set is a fun gift, and they have a bunch more variations, including BBQ sauces, other spices, and sweets here. Turn any table into a ping pong table with this set, perfect for holiday gatherings and travel! I know practical gifts aren’t always the most glamorous, but I have a 100% success rating with this set of two-bed pillows… everyone deserves a good pillow, and they wash beautifully in the washer/dryer. My mother-in-law bought me this egg cooker years ago, and it’s still one of my favorite kitchen gadgets that makes life easier.

STOCKING STUFFERS
under $25
Moving onto stocking stuffer gift ideas that are all under $25 and also should be available for quick shipping! Many of these ideas could be used for co-workers, friends, or teacher gifts as well, so feel free to use your imagination on some of these. Starting things off with my tried and true Wiley Wallaby licorice! You cannot go wrong with a bag (or three) of these, they come in a bunch of different flavors that I’m confident even non-licorice lovers will like. It has become a family joke that my dad always buys the family Poo-Pourri, but it does come in handy. I love this discreet set that is travel-friendly. You know we wouldn’t make it through this list without the beloved shoe horn! This is seriously one of my favorite work smarter, not harder life hacks, and this set will not disappoint. If you’re a candlestick user, these wax adapters will change your life! They make it easy to add candlesticks to any holder and ensure they’re standing upright.
I’ve owned these cozy socks for several years, and they do not disappoint, year after year. I discovered this cleaning gel randomly a few months ago, and it’s really handy! I keep it at my desk and have used it on my car vents, I rinse it off after use, and it works like a charm. These bubble candles are very trendy right now and make a fun gift idea, I have a set and always get compliments on them. I use this phone stand at my desk almost every single day, and I like that I can be on the phone and have my phone plugged in without having to hold it. I went on a real hunt looking for a sporty belt bag that worked for a larger bust. This one did not disappoint and would make a perfect gift. BK and I use this lip mask every night, and I love not waking up with dry, cracked lips.
I recently purchased this non-stick meat and potato masher, and I don’t know how I’ve gone on this far without it. It makes cooking so much easier, and I love that I can throw it in the dishwasher. Tajin is always a great gift idea, I love this sampler set, but a classic bottle works too. I love to enjoy it with fresh fruits and veggies. I’ve heard it’s great on different meats too. Lastly, these hair clips have been a favorite lately, but these hair ties are the only ones I’ve been wearing lately. They are comfortable and don’t snag!

MORE IDEAS IN A PINCH
SHOP LOCAL: BUY GIFT CARDS
Does the person you’re shopping for have a favorite hair, nail, or waxing, shop? Have their next service on you. You could also get them a gift card for a bra fitting, theatre tickets or an experienced-based gift.
CHEERS ON YOU
Grab a growler/bottle of liquor or wine made locally!
DIGITAL GIFT CARD
You could always send (or print) out a gift card.
MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION
Another fun idea is a magazine subscription. As long as you have your recipient’s address, you can surprise them with a gift all year long!
