Need a last-minute holiday gift? Whether you waited to shop or you just found out about your office's secret Santa gift exchange, we've got you covered.
There are plenty of ways to shop for gifts without having to order something and wait for it to be shipped. For example, a gift card to your coworker's favorite coffee shop or clothing store works perfectly as a thoughtful, last-minute present.
Or, if life got too busy and you forgot to find a gift for a loved one, sign them up for a subscription service, like Masterclass, so that they can learn more about a topic they're interested in.
Don’t forget: Some retailers offer a "buy online, pick up in store" shopping option or express two-day shipping.
Check out all of our last-minute gift ideas below!
Gift cards
You don’t even have to leave the house to give someone a gift card for the holidays. Shop e-gift cards and send them straight to the recipient via email. Try choosing a retailer they love -- have they mentioned wanting to shop a specific store lately? Is their closet filled with one particular brand? -- to make your selection extra thoughtful.
If you're buying a gift for someone you don't know, choose a retailer that carries plenty of different products or brands so they're sure to be able to find something they love.
Shop these gift cards to get started:
Subscription services
Give the gift that keeps on giving with a subscription service. The subscriptions can be experience-based -- like a MasterClass membership or a subscription pass to your loved one's favorite spa -- or tangible, such as a subscription to an at-home meal kit service or a flower delivery.
