Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas That Will Impress
For the procrastinators with a long list of people to impress.
If you’ve been putting holiday shopping on hold, Mariah Carey screaming “It’s timeee!” probably feels more pressuring than it is exciting. If this isn’t your first rodeo with last-minute gifting, you might already know two things: how to turn stress into thrill, and how to get the best outcome out of the shortest time you’ve got. And if this is your first time round, you’re only out of time – not out of luck (yet, at least). Below, we’ve curated items that will send a heartfelt message to those you love, so much that they wouldn’t even notice your present arrived at the very last minute. Don’t waste any more time, scroll on.
