LAST Minute Holiday Gift Ideas!

Times’ a ticking!!!!

Well…it’s just about the last minute now (if you’re ordering online & having items shipped) to get all the gift buying finished up. You may even want to go ahead and ship your items directly to your recipient to make sure they arrive in time AND to cut back on all the shipping around all over the place.

Of course, if you want to wrap your gifts first then ship them on to your recipient…you really need to get going! If the person(s) you are buying for is coming to your home for the holidays (YAY for you), you should be fine still but I wouldn’t wait much longer. The closer we get to Christmas Day, the busier all shipping methods will become.

*This post contains affiliate links which means if you make a purchase using one or more of the links below, I’ll be paid a small amount. This does NOT cost you any extra to make purchases through my links. I alone pick which items/products to suggest & link. I hope this helps with your shopping. ENJOY!



So, let’s get down to business! Here’s just a few of my favorite items that hopefully will help you finish up your shopping list. Please double check each item that it’s A) in stock and B) will be able to arrive in time wherever you choose to ship to.

These Bose QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds come in Soapstone & Black. They are True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones. I have a pair in each color! They are truly amazing. I can NOT go to the gym without them. I often wear them when I want to just slip away into my own little world and listen to a book or some great music.

Whoever you gift these to will surely love them. Great for teens, moms, dads…pretty much anyone!


This “wine experience” of a bottle opener and SO much more is a GREAT GIFT! I’ve given it to my girlfriends, my clients, my son (don’t worry, he’s an adult) and I have one too (of course).

It’s wonderful for those who love to entertain and/or have a home bar set up. It’s an amazing hostess gift or housewarming gift. It just makes life nicer and you look so fancy when entertaining (wink).

Don’t have anyone you can think of who needs one? Grab one for yourself or tell Santa to bring you one! You’ll love it, I’m telling you.


I LOVE Barefoot Dreams ANYTHING! Their throws are next level gift giving for sure. They are great for anyone and everyone will fall in love with them for sure.

Girls love them. Guys love them. Even teens love them (possibly one of the hardest demographics to buy for if you ask me).

Barefoot Dreams throws look wonderful placed over an arm of your sofa or folded neatly at the foot of your bed. They are THE BEST! I have several in my home and have gifted them as well over the years and trust me…everyone loves them. They come in several colors. Above are just a few of the more neutral choices.

They are SO soft & cozy but never feel hot. They are indeed A Dream!


Here’s a REALLY nice treat for the beauty buff. I ADORE (and hoard) anything Sara Happ!! Her products are next level. There’s a reason they call her the Lip Expert. I’ve used her products for years. Her lip scrubs, her lip treatments, her glosses…you name it. I love them ALL.

I’ve gifted her products too. I’ve given her products to my hair stylist, my nail guru, my son’s girlfriend, my girlfriends, my mother, my teenage nieces, my sister-in-law. Basically, anyone with lips…they’ll love these products. Especially during this drying time of year but I use her products year around and I live in Florida so….

This two-piece packet is a great stocking stuffer or add it to an entire basket of beauty products. Whoever you gift it to will love it. Get one for yourself while you’re at it. You’ll thank me later!


Two more products that I’ve used for YEARS and still love to this day. I’ve gotten my mother hooked on these products too! A LITTLE goes a LONG WAY. Start out using way less than you think you should. Let it soak in (which it should if you haven’t used too much). You can always add more if needed.

It took me some time to figure out that you don’t need much of either of these products. They are clean products which I love AND they work! I prefer the unscented versions but Josie has several scents you can try. I feel like the unscented is safest to gift.

Either or both would be great stocking stuffers OR add these into a nice basket full of goodies (add the Sara Happ lip kit above, maybe a loofa, etc.). Men LOVE these products too!

If the person you are gifting to lives in a warm climate, you can opt for the light version of these products. Living in Florida, I just use less during the really warm months BUT…I still use it. A dab here, a dab there (heels, elbows, nails/cuticles, a tiny bit pressed on your forehead/cheeks/neck or anywhere you can use a little extra glow).


These Bindle Bottles come in a 24oz. size (shown here) and a 20oz size. They come in a variety of fun colors (click link here to see other available colors) and are a perfect gift for the hiker, the neighborhood and/or beach walker…anyone who wants to stay hydrated & travel light.

There’s even a pup version (see below). How fun!

The pup version (above) comes in 3 different colors (at time of this post). Click the link above to see what’s available. This is such a smart gift for the pet lover and such a handy way to make sure your pup has what they need on their walk. I love that it has a place to keep your phone and a shoulder strap so you can be hands free.


I love gifting and receiving books too! It’s sometimes hard knowing what book someone may or may not already have though, right? Heck, I have a hard enough time remembering what books I have myself (full disclosure…I have a LOT OF BOOKS!).

A gift card is always a nice gift I think if you just aren’t sure what someone may want or need. Get a gift card to their favorite restaurant or a gift card for the spa (one of my all time favorites) or for Amazon! I hope these ideas are helpful to you. Happy & Healthy Holiday Season to you & yours.

Happy Sprucing!
