If you’re not looking to battle it out with the billions of folks running through the malls right now for last minute Christmas gifts, you’re in good company – us neither. Check out seven last minute gift ideas you can purchase from the comfort of your own bed, after the click.
1. Amazon Gift Certificate: You really can’t go wrong with a gift certificate to Amazon. The person you’re buying it for can literally pick from billions of stuff – a book (like Chimanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah, phone accessories (like this cool elephant one) or sneakers (like the new Lebrons)etc. The choices are limitless and they’ll probably love you for it (Americanah: $17.00; Phone Cover: $18.00; Lebrons Air Max: $102.00)
3. Concert tickets: Concerts can be such a memorable occasion – treat someone to a really good show coming up (or make them come with you to one YOU want to attend by getting them a ticket and diguising it as a gift lol). (Ticketmaster: Gift cards available starting at $25; “gift tickets” option available)
4. A massage: For the person who could really use some relaxation, but would rarely think to treat themselves with a trip to the spa – why not treat them with a massage or spa day gift. (Spafinder: Gift cards available starting at $25)
5. Skydiving: Last year, my friend Bibi posted pictures from a skydive she did and it looked so FUN! (And not at all terrifying). For the risktaker in your life, consider getting him/her a skydiving gift. Search for a skydiving facility in your area and be sure to ask if they’re offering any holiday specials. (Skydive Philadelphia: $149 Christmas special; Skydive Chicago: Prices vary, gift certificates available; Sky Diving Los Angeles: Prices vary, gift certificates available)
6. Magazine subscription: This is an oldie but goodie. And never fails – who doesn’t love magazines? Gift someone with a 1 or 2 year subscription of some of their favorite reads, like Glamour, Inc. Entrepreneur, Architectural Digest, Esquire, GQ and more. (Inc: $12 for one-year print and digital subscription; Glamour: $3.00 for 6 month print and digital subscription; O Magazine: $5.00 for one-year print subscription)
7. BEYONCÉ: The world sort of shifted last week when Bey dropped her album; if your friend, girlfriend, mom, neice, best friend or otherwise is a Beyonce fan yet hasn’t gotten the 14-track, 17 video “visual album” they’d probably love you forver if you got it for them. Plus you can spend all of Christmas day on the couch watching the videos and learning the lyrics. lol fun, I know. (Amazon: $15.99)
