It’s a few days before Christmas. No, it’s the final hours until the big day. No, it’s the morning of. And here you are, with the best gifting intentions but with no actual gift to show. You need our last-minute gift guide.
The Guardian Australia lifestyle and culture team, as well as our discerning games and sports-knowledgable colleagues, have hand-picked Christmas presents that can be bought with a click of a mouse, or a dash to a major store near you. That could mean an audiobook or tickets to a show; a subscription to something to wear, eat, read or listen to; or simply a box of mangoes. Everyone likes mangoes.
