Oh no! Christmas is almost here and you have last minute gifts to buy! You don’t have time to fight holiday parking and stand in long lines. Many stores are sold out of popular items, and you don’t even know what to give yet. You’re starting to panic.
Don’t worry! Last minute shopping has become a known and accepted part of the holidays. Many companies provide extra shipping methods guaranteed to deliver your gift by Christmas. Here at ChristmasGifts.com, we have an entire section dedicated to solving your last minute shopping needs. Whether it is for a family member, friend, professional colleague, boss or client, we’ve got you covered.
You may have thought that, because you’ve waited to the last minute, you have to go with a standard, boring present. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Some very creative and interesting presents can be found at the last minute. Even companies specializing in unique and artistic presents take last minute shoppers into consideration during the holiday season. You may have to pay extra, but you can usually get that last minute gift under the tree by Christmas morning.
If you’ve really procrastinated, and there’s no time for shipping, there are many instant gifts available. You can sign your friend or family member up for a performance, class, day trip, vacation or other memorable experience. A hot air balloon ride is a click away when you start thinking outside the box. You’ll be amazed what types of activities you come across; race car driving—even diving with great white sharks! These can be registered for online and redeemed at a later date. Perhaps you can even do an activity together, making it more special.
If you prefer to keep things simple, give a gift card. Children and teenager always love shopping for themselves, and picky recipients can pick out their own gifts with gift cards. You can purchase gift cards for practically every business or restaurant under the sun and buy them instantly online.
Here are some tips for shopping for last minute Christmas gifts:
- Consider an instant gift, which can be purchased online and emailed instantly.
- Add gift wrapping to your order and have it sent directly to the recipient’s address. This may save days off shipping time if you were to wrap and deliver it yourself.
- Many last minute gifts can be personalized and shipped very quickly. They’ll never know you came close to forgetting their gift!
If you are still undecided about what to give, go with a themed gift basket or floral arrangement. Flowers can last for weeks, and can extend well into the new year. Better yet, send a gourmet food or wine basket packed with cheeses, chocolates and fruit. Many gift baskets can be customized to fit the needs of any personality or relationship. Themes can include , saving yourself the time of picking out individual items. It couldn’t be easier!
What is an Instant Gift?
An instant gift is one that you purchase online, immediately. This can be an gift certificate or prepaid gift card to be used printed for in-store use or online shopping. It’s something redeemable by the recipient right away, no wrapping or shipping required (though we do recommend some wrapping). Experiences, classes and activities can all be instant gifts when you purchase them on behalf of someone else. It’s essentially a service or product for which you prepay, for someone else to use. All you have do is tell your recipient when and where they can redeem their Christmas gift. Possibilities are endless.
We recommend instant gifts as a last minute gift solution. You don’t even have to leave your house to get this shopping done.
Instant Gifts Etiquette
Instant gifts can be customized. Individual gift cards don’t mean much emotionally until we attach a special message. Give your gift card in a cute box or envelope, and be sure to write a note. A few special words can turn these simple Christmas gifts into something meaningful.
Remember, when you buy an online gift, your proof of purchase is either a confirmation email or gift certificate. You can share this via email with your recipient, or you can print the email receipt and give it as part of a more traditional gift. For far away recipients, email delivery may save dramatically on cost and time.
To really liven up an gift card or printable certificate, tuck it into an item that references where it will be used. For example, if you’re giving tickets to the aquarium, give them with a blue whale poster or CD. If you’ve ordered a personalized necklace, present the piece on a stuffed bear. All of these suggestions aim to expand on last minute online purchases, making them seem like well thought out plans. No one will guess you thought up this gift idea at the last minute!
