Last-minute shopping gets a bad reputation. People assume it means settling for whatever's left or grabbing something generic just to check the box. So rather than gifting something that screams “I forgot you were coming!” take a page out of my book and order one of these instead.
If you're still shopping for anyone (new homeowners, skincare enthusiasts, fashion lovers, or just people who appreciate quality), these will not feel like last-minute compromises. They'll feel thoughtful, personal, and useful.
1. ELEMIS | The It-List Kit, Healthy Skin Heroes
At 46 years old, I’ve learned that a skincare routine is paramount to aging gracefully. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does need to be consistent. These products from Elemis are the center of it!
This kit includes their Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads, and Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30. Let’s just say I’ll be on the auto-ship program for the cleansing balm forever.
2. Pura Plus Home Diffuser
I’m a scent person. Everything needs to smell good: my home, my clothes, my car. This diffuser ensures that my home always smells incredible! I love how quiet it is and that I can control it through my app (yes, this means you can turn it on and come home to a house that already smells amazing). I also love that you set the fragrance intensity based on your preferences. This gift is ideal for any of the homeowners you still need a gift for.
3. Pura Diffuser Oil from LAFCO, Chamomile Lavender
While we’re talking about the magic of a Pura Home Diffuser, let’s also talk about why you should snag this oil for it. This is one of my all-time favorite fragrances and one I use constantly in my own home. With its calming chamomile, lavender, and herbal clary sage, it’s both meditative and restorative. This soothing scent is universally appealing for anyone still left on your shopping list!
Also, I highly recommend the Lafco Chamomile Lavender hand soap, lotion, and candle. Keep a few on hand in your last-minute gift stash for occasions where ordering isn’t feasible, and you have too much on your plate to venture out to the shops.
4. Talova Lip Balm
I put this on my lips every night before I go to sleep, and they always feel so smooth and beautiful in the morning. It contains a touch of pure peppermint oil, which adds a fantastic flavor and cooling finish. If you’re still searching for the perfect stocking stuffer, this is it.
5. Woven Handbag
The bag is perfect for a fashionista who loves a statement piece with each outfit. The woven texture is very on-trend, and the bold red color is sure not to be missed. Carry it to brunch with your friends, on date night, or just on your Saturday morning errand run. Compliments will follow!
Last Minute Gifts Your People Will Love
No more generic gifts this year…your people will be thrilled, and nobody needs to know you ordered them the week before Christmas. They'll just know you gave them something they love.
