If you are on the lookout for some last-minute gifts but are worried that your gifts will not reach their recipients just in time for Christmas, here are some items that you could buy that will not require shipping at all.
Gift Cards
Many people are not into giving gift cards because they seem to be impersonal. It may only seem that way if not a lot of thought has been put into it. Make sure to get loved ones a gift card for a store they frequently visit. Are they a coffee lover? Get them Starbucks gift cards. Are they homemakers? Give them Lowe's.
Another reason to give gift cards is that most gifts remain unused or unwanted by their recipients. If you're not sure what gifts to give, gift cards are a sure-fire, fool-proof way that your present will be put to good use.
Subscription Boxes
Another great gifting option is subscription boxes. Your family or friend will be frequently reminded of your generosity as they continuously receive a box of goodies that reflect their passion and interests every month for the rest of the year. There is something for everyone, whether they are a tea lover, literary geek, or makeup aficionado.
Magazine Subscriptions
Print is not dead. Print magazines are a great alternative for people who spend most of their time in front of computer screens. These are a great tactile reminder that there is life to be lived outside of the internet.
Digital Subscriptions
For the people in your life who love watching TV or listening to music, you can give them premium subscriptions to the apps they frequently use. You can make their digital lives better by buying them premium subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, or iTunes.
Charity Donations
If you want to give the gift that keeps on giving, you can send a donation to your loved one's favorite charity. Give family and friends a present that can help others by making a donation on their behalf. During these uncertain times, we need to give gifts to those who are truly in need.
Experiential Gifts
Instead of buying them gifts, why not give loved ones something that they will enjoy experiencing? Museum passes, theater tickets, and spa gift certificates will surely be appreciated by those who will receive them.
If you are running out of time to shop, consider these gifts that are easy to buy and will not require shipping at all.
