17 Last-Minute Christmas Gifts To Save Your Bacon If You’ve Left Your Shopping Too Late

Christmas is right around the corner, so if your last-minute gift anxiety hasn’t hit yet, it will veryyy soon. So, unless you want to go out and brave the hell that is Westfield in December (spoiler alert: you don’t), we’ve got some suggestions for last-minute Christmas gifts.

 

We’re not judging — we’re equally as guilty. Between the end-of-year deadlines, trying to organise family gatherings and paying for a Christmas feast, it’s not surprising that people don’t have the time or energy to get their Chrissy shopping done.

If you’re struggling to find the time to do your Christmas shopping before it’s too late, do yourself a favour and check out our list of last-minute Christmas gift ideas.

P.S. You won’t even need to leave the house.

17 Of The Best Last-Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

Slip Pure Silk Skinny Scrunchie Ornament Set

A long-haired individual can never have too many hair ties, so this candy cane-themed ornament scrunchie set from Slip is a great last-minute gift idea. Sephora’s express shipping cut-off date isn’t until Monday December 22, so it’ll come in time for Chrissy morning!

Kindle Unlimited Subscription

If BookTok has infiltrated your friend group, you’re not alone. Give the gift of literature (AKA smut) this Christmas with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. It includes unlimited access to books and audio books, so your giftee can run rampant with their Fourth Wing fantasies.

Magshop Subscription

Know someone who just has to read every issue of National Geographic every month? Maybe they always get the yearly collector’s issue of The Block magazine. If so, getting them a subscription to their favourite physical or digital magazine from Magshop is a great way to gift them something they’ll love.

Laneige Minty Lip Duo (Holiday Limited Edition)

Laneige’s Lip Masks are an absolute crowd pleaser, and this holiday set not only comes with the limited-edition candy cane flavour, there’s also a matching day lip gloss!

Daily Blooms A Very Merry Vase

A festive bouquet (and vase!) is an easy gift that you can either get delivered to your house on Christmas Eve to gift on Christmas day, or can be sent straight to their place if you don’t plan on seeing them before December 25!

ancestry

AncestryDNA Kit

Is your giftee curious about their family’s history? The AncestryDNA Kit will give them insights on their heritage, including a detailed origins report and connections to genetic relatives. There’s also other pack options which include a World Heritage subscription or insights into personal traits based off DNA (and it’s half price RN, too).

Sunnylife Carryall Beach Bag

Since our Chrissy is in summer, it makes sense to gift them gear they’ll be using across the season, like this beach bag from Sunnylife. It’s available on The Iconic, and the online retailer’s express shipping Christmas cut-off date isn’t until December 23, so if you’d rather get them something else from the site, you’ve got a bit of time to browse.

Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator

Lovehoney’s Christmas cut-off dates for express shipping aren’t until December 22, so if you’re on ~that~ level with your giftee, a sexy new vibrator like the Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator will do the trick.

Binge Subscription

Why not give the gift that keeps on giving and get your mate a Binge subscription? They can currently stream a host of hit series like Mix Tape, All Her Fault, The Couple Next Door and The Death Of Bunny Munro.

Disney Subscription

Look, the high chances are that the friend or family member you’re buying for already has a Dinsey subscription. If they don’t and they’re a long-time Disney fan, well, it’s high time you show them a whole new world.

If they’re a big Marvel or Star Wars fan, gifting them a subscription should help keep them satisfied with Daredevil, Andor and The Skeleton Crew dropping. Plus, it has every single episode of The Simpsons, so there’s that.

prime

Amazon Prime Subscription

Prime is a gift that keeps on giving. With a subscription, your giftee will get access to over 1,000 e-books with Prime Reading and unlimited access to over 50 million songs with Prime Music. Not only that, but a Prime membership will also give them access to Amazon Prime Video, so they can binge series like White Lotus and Being the Ricardos.

Plus, if they’re a big online shopper, they’ll get free, two-business-day delivery on their Amazon purchases.

Kayo Sports Subscription

Yay, sports! Name a sport, and Kayo has got it. It’ll give your giftee on-demand access to live games, both local and international, along with hundreds of hours of replays, panel shows and docos, like ESPN’s 30 for 30 series.

Stuck on what to get a fussy friend? RedBalloon has some pretty epic experience-based gift ideas that were made for friends like those. There’s everything from hot air ballooning and helicopter riding to scuba diving and snorkelling.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Don’t know what games someone has — or what they even like? Spare yourself the hassle and get them a month of Game Pass Ultimate instead. With this, they can download every game available on Game Pass, including Call of Duty, Halo, Minecraft and more. Game Pass Ultimate also pays for a month of online play, letting them group up with friends.
