No matter how organized you are and how early you start holiday shopping, there will always be a few names that you totally forget to buy a present for. If you’re looking for the best last-minute gifts, I found tons of easy ideas that don’t include any shipping delays! You can find all different types of subscription boxes that your loved ones can unwrap digitally before receiving the actual gift. Opt for a cool Cameo video from someone’s favorite celebrity, a digital membership for Sam’s Club or REI Co-op so they can save all year long, or give someone the gift of learning with a MasterClass online class. Below, I’ve highlighted my favorite last-chance gift ideas, including no-ship gifts like gift cards that will be sent instantly!
Shop the best last-minute holiday gifts
Experiential gifts:
Experiential gifts are unique ways to show someone you care about them and their interests, without adding more stuff to their home. Groupon is one of the best places to find local things to do, including walking tours, events at restaurants, movie showings, concerts and more. Groupon experiences can be sent digitally to your recipient so they can use their gift whenever they’d like. You can also find several helpful Groupon deals on gifts like BJ’s memberships, Costco memberships, ButcherBox meat delivery and more. For even more unique experiences, Fever is the place to book tickets for holiday light shows, local events at museums, seasonal pop-ups and more. Fever has attractions in all major cities, including New York City, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago and more.

No-ship gifts:
Digital presents are the ultimate no-ship gift idea. From instantly delivered gift cards to last-minute Cameo videos from someone’s favorite celeb, there are tons of unique ways to make digital gifts more personal. You can even give someone you love the gift of online learning for the holidays with popular online classes taught by celebrities, entrepreneurs and more from MasterClass.

Subscription boxes:
Subscription boxes are super popular holiday gifts ideas and while they might require some shipping, they’re still excellent last-minute gifts! You can choose between meal kits, beauty boxes, coffee subscriptions and more. The best part is that you can simply order your loved one a last-minute box or gift card towards a subscription and they will receive an instant digital receipt. They can then customize their meals, personalize their preferences and more before the boxes are actually shipped out.
