17 Last-Minute Gifts Because It’s Somehow Almost Christmas

Well look at you, you did it again. Even though the holiday season was technically one week longer this year (November 23 was early for Thanksgiving), you still managed to save all your Christmas shopping until the last minute. Same! I live for that sweet rush of adrenaline and the threatening cloud of failure hovering centimeters above my head, right before I barely make a deadline.

So I’m here to help you, my dawdling comrade-in-arms. Here you’ll find a slideshow of gifts ranging from $20 to $100, and all from places that will deliver by Christmas, long as you pay attention to their individual shipping deadlines: Williams Sonoma (Tuesday), Lululemon (Wednesday), Anthropologie (TK), Best Buy (December 23!), and Amazon (December 23). There’s probably even one or two gifts you might wanna get for yourself, because you’re about to put in a lot of effort. Good luck!

Reusable Glass Silly Straws from Amazon

Amazon listed these Reusable Glass Silly Straws ($19.99) as a great White Elephant gift, and I have to agree. (Except it’s called a Yankee Swap.)

Margarita Gift Crate from Williams Sonoma

Williams Sonoma has a bunch of sweet-ass gift crates for cocktails, cheese, and snacks. This specific crate is a Margarita Gift Crate ($99.95) and I can’t imagine a single person in the world who wouldn’t love receiving this (well, as long as they like to drink).

Lanza Vase from Anthropologie

OK, she’s gorgeous and unique. And for $28, this vase from Anthropologie is a steal.

Exploding Kittens Card Game from Amazon

Have you ever played Exploding Kittens ($19.85 from Amazon)?! It is so much fun. A card game kind of screams “last-minute gift” but I promise after one round, your friend/neighbor/grandma/lover/coworker (it’s a perfect gift for anyone) will deem it their favorite gift of all time.

Sony’s XB100 Compact Bluetooth Speaker from Best Buy

Sony’s XB100 Compact Bluetooth Speaker is on sale for $39.99 right now from Best Buy. No brainer.

Clippable Card Pouch from Lululemon

What should you get a friend who already has the Lululemon belt bag? Or the friend that would never want the belt bag because everyone has it? Lululemon’s fun little Clippable Card Pouch ($34, comes in three colors) is a great option for both those people.

Skeem Match Cloche from Anthropologie

And what do you get for the person who has everything? Easy: A fancy cup for matches — or, if you’re fancy, a “Skeem Match Cloche” ($34) from Anthropologie.

Zulay Milk Frother from Amazon

People love this shit. And at $9,85, the Zulay Milk Frother from Amazon looks much more expensive than it is.

Rosebud Silicone Ice Molds from Williams Sonoma

I cannot pretend to know where or how this absurd ice mold trend began — but the Rosebud Silicone Ice Molds from Williams Sonoma are only $19.95 for a pack of two, so I guess give the people what they want?

Deluxe Grilled Cheese Sandwich Toaster from Amazon

Does anyone need a Grilled Cheese Sandwich Toaster ($27.99)? No, but we’re heading into the deep, dark belly of winter and your recipient will be thankful when they’re able to make a grilled cheese about 30 seconds faster than if their only option was still just the dumb stovetop.

Francie Dog Trinket Dish from Anthropologie

A trinket dish is simply not something you buy for yourself, so gifting one is always a good idea. This Francie Dog Trinket Dish ($24) from Anthropologie is pretty cool. Especially, I’d imagine, if your recipient loves dogs.

Weak Knees Sriracha Hot Sauce Gift Set from Amazon

Weak Knees Sriracha Hot Sauce Gift Set ($49.99) from Bushwick Kitchen on Amazon? Great!

Rainbow Umbrella from Amazon

It rained pretty much every weekend in NYC this fall, and I never bought an umbrella because I kept telling myself, “Surely, the second I buy an umbrella, it’ll never rain again.” Relieve your loved ones of that burden and buy them a rainbow umbrella ($25.99) from Amazon.

Maeve Neon Gradient Pullover Sweater from Anthropologie

This Maeve Neon Gradient Pullover Sweater is currently on sale for $63.70 at Anthropologie and comes in three colors. You should actually probably get this one for yourself.
