When you forget a present for that special someone, here are the gifts to get!

Tis’ the season of giving…but let’s be real: you likely “forgot” to buy gifts for friends and family. But, don’t fret! I have compiled six fun and creative gift ideas to share with ones you love.  

Moon Lamp: This battery powered orb will have your loved ones “dancing in the moonlight” in the comfort of their own homes. The “moon” could be used as a nightlight, area light, or a piece of conversation for all! Let them travel through the cosmos any day or night, with this enchanting light. 

Slippers: Who doesn’t love a cozy pair of slippers? If you aren’t quite sure what to get those last few people on your list, a pair of slippers would keep your friends and family snug this season. From slipper socks to ones you can wear out and about, there’s a pair for everyone.  

DIY Gift Baskets:  Gather up some goodies and show friends and family how much you care, with a personalized gift basket. Your basket can include some of their favorite snacks accompanied by a blanket for a fun movie night in! Or you could opt for some lip balm, a candle, and other self care products for a spa day!  The options are endless and whether big or small, it is the (after) thought that counts. 

Stationary: Something that people often won’t buy for themselves but that make great gifts are nice writing utensils and art supplies. A nice set of gel pens or watercolor pencils and paper could inspire a loved one to show off their artistic side. Make taking notes and schoolwork more fun with some high quality pens and pencils that satisfy. Looking for a gift for someone who’s rather picky? When in doubt, go for something practical that can be used in everyday life, a stationary set is perfect for this!  

Socks: Although most of us are guilty of putting a pair in and getting only one sock back out of the wash, socks are a great gift option for your best friend, a parent, or someone you’re just getting to know. Everyone wears socks (at least we hope so)! Go for a silly pair and make them laugh or go for ultimate comfort, the choice is yours. Again, the options are endless when it comes to something like socks, so if you’re stuck on what to give someone, this is a great option.  

Experiences: While this list is heavy on material gifts, often the best option is to cut straight to the chase and give the experience itself. After all, experience is what life consists of.  From tickets to a concert, show, game, or a trip to a special place, give the special people in your life an event they otherwise might not have gone to. And who knows, maybe they’ll invite you along too. 

There you go, those were some suggestions for last minute gifts. Have a stress free holiday season, and don’t worry because it’s the (after) thought that counts, right?
