It is already half way through December, and the holidays are in full swing! I don't know about you guys, but I always seem to plan out gifts well, and then find myself last minute shopping, hah. For my final gift guide, I have come up with some last minute gift ideas! I included things that ship fast like Amazon and Shopbob. I also have a list of some other ideas for easy, meaningful gifts! (If I have any more ideas for my list, I will add them and update the post!)
LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS:
HYGGE BOOK: A social distance winter means you need to have a survival plan. This book on the Scandinavian practice of Hygge would be the perfect thing for the winter homebody. To go along with the cozy theme: BLANKET, GINGER JAR CANDLE, PAJAMAS, COOKBOOK.
LYCETTE DESIGNS GIFTCARD: A gift card can seem not as thoughtful, but when it is for something like a hobby a person has, I think its special that you remember their hobby! Lycette Designs is a small business needlepoint store. There are many other I love like Penny Linn Designs!
SARAH FLINT SHOES: I included these Sarah Flint shoes because now through December 17 (this thursday) SF is having FREE Overnight shipping with code SARAHFLINT-HOLIDAYOVERNIGHT. If you are new to Sarah Flint, you can also get $50 off by emailing/messaging me your name+order number or email used on the order- I will let my SF team know that you have made an order by giving them your order info, and you will get $50 off retroactively! If you miss their free shipping, you can always use my code SARAHFLINT-BALIBBYM for $50 off your first purchase!
BALA BANGLES: I have seen these all over, and think that it is a genius thing for the person who loves to work out but cannot go to the gym. It could also be fun to gift these with a month of virtual work out classes!
GINGER JARS: I was screaming when I found these two ginger jars-SMALL GINGER JAR + BIG GINGER JAR- on Amazon! They are lidded jars, so you could fill one up with treats, snacks, flowers and easily give it as a gift.
OTHER LAST MINUTE IDEAS:
WINE SUBSCRIPTION: I have always wanted to try this! I enjoy trying new wines, and being able to try new ones once a month would be such a fun gift. I have heard most about Winc, but there are other wine subscription services out there, too.
MEAL SUBSCRIPTION: This is something I have wanted to also try, but with having Celiac, it seems a bit risky for me! This would be a great gift for a recent college grad, or someone who wants to improve their home cooking skills. Hello Fresh and Blue Apron are the ones I hear the most about.
GIFT CARDS FOR LOCAL FAVORITES: I have been doing my best to shop small this year, and feel like I have had a great balance! Our favorite small businesses/stores/restaurants etc., need our help this year! A gift card to anything one of these feels very thoughtful. A restaurant card could be fun to gift as a date night.
MOVIE NIGHT BASKET: This has been a go-to gift of mine since I was in elementary school. What I do is pick out a popcorn bowl like this one, some DVDs OR a Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime gift card, popcorn, candy, popcorn seasoning, and maybe a blanket. Use the bowl as your gift basket, and put everything in there. Voila, a perfect gift for all the nights at home! You could also do a similar thing for a cookie making basket, game night, wine tasting basket, basically anything you can think of!
VIRTUAL COOKING/COCKTAIL MAKING CLASSES: Another way to support a small business. I have seen so many local restaurants here that are offering virtual classes. This is how you gift an experience in 2020. I have also seen cocktail classes which would be equally as fun! I have seen some virtual needlepointing classes for the #grandmillennial in your life.
LIBRO.FM MEMBERSHIP: Libro.FM is a subscription for audiobooks. You can gift memberships, and purchasing them helps to support local bookstores. (There is also a free trial if you want to try it out for yourself!) A great option for the reader that also supports local businesses.
As always,
#dontforgetyourpearls
