If you’re still scrambling to find some last-minute gifts, you’re in luck! While shipping delays and supply chain issues are making all of our heads spin, there are still a couple of days to shop if you want your gifts to arrive before Christmas.
You’re likely in the “safe zone” of the holiday delivery schedule, but just to be sure, it’s a good idea to check websites to make sure your gift will show up on time.
One of my favorite options is when retailers offer same-day delivery OR order online and pick up at the store. I do this a lot at Bed Bath & Beyond, and it makes my shopping easy and I have the peace of mind knowing my item are in stock and waiting for me!
Now, back to the gifts… because that’s the fun part! If you’re looking for a few more items to put under the tree, I’m sure my list of last-minute gifts will help.
Keep scrolling below to see some of my top picks for the holiday that are perfect for your friends, family members, neighbors, and more!

My Favorite Last-Minute Gifts
Need some gifting inspo? Snag my picks before it’s too late!
This plaid monogram mug has a festive feel to it, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used year-round! When I gift mugs to my friends, I like to make it into a mini “gift basket” of sorts.

Sometimes I’ll pick out a variety of coffee beans or exotic teas to go with the mug. Other times, I’ll throw in some biscotti or a small square of chocolate!
In fact… this pack of mini biscotti cookies looks delish!
Another cute use for a mug? Put a little bouquet in the mug instead of opting for a classic vase. It’s inexpensive, pretty, and the mug can be used way more than a vase (that always seems to end up stored in the basement).
I have quite a collection of ceramic mugs at home, but this year, I have my eye on the Ember Mug. If you haven’t heard of this elevated mug, I’m happy to be the one to show you how neat it is!
You can control the temperature of the mug by using an app on your smartphone. You can also see the temperature so you never burn your tongue! If you ask me, it’s the perfect gift for anyone who works from their desk all day.
The holidays are a great time to gift small food items like hot cocoa mixes, small candies, or even my savory ranch crackers! But to give these treats an extra homemade feel, I like to seal them in these mason jar canisters.

If making a batch of chex mix or homemade doggie treats is more of your thing, a large canister like this one may work a bit better!
The other neat thing about gifting something in these glass jars is that the jars can easily be repurposed. I like to use them to hold cotton balls in my bathroom and coffee pods in my kitchen.
Speaking of the kitchen, this sleek soap dispenser keeps all of those cleaning essentials (like the soap, sponges, and small scrubbers) in one place. It’s also super easy to find a holiday-scented soap to throw in with the dispenser!
One of my go-to seasonal soaps is from Jo Malone. The Wood Sage & Sea Salt scent is my absolute favorite! And with an elevated scent like this, it’s hard to go wrong.
I also found this festive option from Anthropologie. The hand duo features a soap and a lotion in “pine shea” scent. A great addition to a bathroom as well.
If you’re trying to stick with the bathroom theme, I’m sure these cute paper hand towels will bring some joy to any space!
Since I’m all about baking and cooking during the holidays, I have my eye on this set of holiday kitchen towels! I love the idea of throwing in some kitchen utensils to match.
These Christmas-themed spatulas are the perfect pairing!
So are these adorable cookie cutters for the baker in your life. You know… I might even snag them for myself.
When I do end up baking up some Christmas cookies for my friends and neighbors, I plan on putting them on a pretty platter like this one. It really takes a simple gift to a whole new level!

The giving plate is another tray you can use when you deliver your cookies to your loved ones. What’s neat about this one is that it’s supposed to be passed on for years and years to come!
Do you know someone who needs some serious relaxing? This bubble bath from The Honest Co. has a calming lavender scent that’s sure to help them get some much-needed pampering!
While taking a bath or shower, this helpful loofah on-a-stick will help them scrub a-dub-dub easily and comfortably. Gifting any loofah will do, but I like that this one looks a little more sophisticated.
If you’re gifting either of the bath essentials above, you can add this fast-drying hair towel to a little gift basket. It cuts hair drying time in half… a gift they never knew they needed.
You can also throw in a holiday-scented jar candle. This one from Yankee Candle smells like sage and pine. Calming and beautiful!
Remember, we’re coming down to the line when it comes to shipping! So after adding a few of these last-minute gifts to your cart, it’s a good idea to snag them asap. Happy shopping!
From my holiday home to yours,
Jill
