The holidays are a time when most people feel pressure to find the perfect gift for their loved ones. If you’re someone who struggles with procrastination, don’t worry – there are plenty of last-minute gift options available to you. This guide will help you select the right gift for your recipients, even if you’re short on time. Happy holidays!
Use a gift guide
One of the most difficult things for a procrastinator is to choose a gift for a person. This is exactly why one of the best things that you can do to choose a last-minute gift is to use a gift guide. Why you might ask? Because you have probably put off thinking about what that person wants, and probably because you aren’t sure what to get them.
One of the biggest benefits of a gift guide is you can search for a gift guide for any type of person, and you can check out this website to see exactly what it looks like. For example, if you know that the person likes technology, all you need to do is search for a technology gift guide. It’s very simple and probably will help you to find a gift faster than you might realize.
Subscriptions for services
If you are truly out of time and you absolutely cannot make it to a shop, then one idea for the best last-minute gift would be a subscription to a service. You might not be aware of this, but many people have subscriptions for services these days, especially for digital services or products. For example, you probably have Netflix, and the person you are gifting might too, so why not get them a few months or years paid subscription?
If that person prefers listening to music over watching movies and series, you could also give them a subscription to platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Pandora, Tidal, and more. Don’t underestimate the happiness that advert-free listening can bring.
Gift cards
If using a gift guide isn’t possible since you are out of time and the person that you are thinking of gifting already has subscriptions for many services, then another option that you have would be to buy them a gift card. A lot of the time people have items that they want to buy, but they don’t want to use their own money because it could be expensive, which is why gift cards can be a perfect choice.
However, if you do choose to buy a gift card, you should know that this can cause someone to feel overwhelmed by the possible choices. One tip, when giving someone a gift card would be to give them a gift card for a specific store that you know they usually shop at. More than this, you could also offer to go with them or make an experience of it to ensure they use the gift card.
Digital products
One thing to keep in mind is something that many people tend to forget is that physical products or services aren’t the only types of products in 2022; there are also digital products. The great thing about buying a digital product is that you don’t have to leave your house and it can be done at the last minute.
For example, if the person that you are gifting enjoys playing video games, you could buy them a video game from one of the online platforms such as Steam. Keep in mind that this isn’t exactly refundable, but you can get a refund with store credits. There are, of course, other products that you could buy, such as a Microsoft Office package or Adobe packages.
Book an experience
Finally, the last thing that you can buy as a last-minute gift if you have procrastinated right until the very end, is an experience. The great thing about booking and experience is the fact that it doesn’t need to be booked for the day in question, for example, if it is someone’s birthday; you can book the experience for two months ahead if need be.
This of course does require you to know a fair bit about the person since the experience that you are booking with them should be something that they will enjoy. The most important part about booking this experience is doing it with that person.
