Christmas has snuck up on us and gift giving time is just over a week away. If you’ve left your Christmas shopping to the last minute, the good news is that there are still lots of options.
We’ve curated a list of last minute Christmas gift ideas for you, so your loved ones never even have to know that you almost forgot about them!
A Groupon experience coupon
Instead of something material, why not give the gift of an experience from Groupon? Choose from a wide range of options - massages to helicopter flights to movie tickets, there’s something for everyone! Or if you can’t choose between all the options, you could opt for a Groupon gift card so your loved one can choose for themselves. Lots of these gift options are even on sale at the moment so you can score an even better deal on a great present.
A streaming subscription to Disney+, Binge or Amazon Prime Video
Who doesn’t love getting access to a whole new library of unique content without having to worry about the next monthly bill? Disney+, Binge and Amazon all offer gift cards so you can choose the amount you want to give and send it to the receiver straight away. (Be aware that with Disney+, the only option is to buy a 12 month subscription which costs $139.99.)
Ancestry.com DNA kit
A DNA kit from Ancestry.com is a great gift idea that gives the receiver the unique opportunity to find out more about their heritage and even find new family connections! Even better, these kits are on sale at the moment meaning that you could save up to $59.
A gift card
It may seem like a bit of a cop out but a gift card is a great gift idea when you can’t think of anything else or are tight on time. Plus, it gives your loved one the flexibility to spend the money however they would like. Consider a gift card from their favourite store or somewhere with a wide range of products, such as Amazon, The Iconic or JB Hi-Fi
Ebook subscription
If you are looking for a gift for a bookworm, look no further than a subscription to Kindle Unlimited or Kobo Plus. A subscription to either of these platforms will give them access to thousands of books and audiobooks and is sure to keep them entertained for hours! This is a great gift even if they don’t own a Kindle or Kobo because both platforms have apps that can be downloaded and enjoyed on a smartphone!
Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus Subscription
The ultimate gift for a gamer - an Xbox Game pass or PlayStation Plus Subscription. Make sure you know whether they use an Xbox or a PlayStation and then you can choose which option is right for them. An Xbox Game pass unlocks hundreds of games from the Xbox library and a PlayStation Plus membership will allow them to play PS4 and PS5 games online, with new games becoming available every month. If you’re feeling generous, a subscription to the more expensive Playstation Plus Extra will give them access to hundreds of games from the Games Catalogue.
