Have you ever gotten so caught up in life that you woke up the day before Christmas and realized you didn’t get any presents?! The last minute holiday shopping panic is real along with the guilt, embarasement and slight anger because there just isnt enough hours in a day to get everythig done!
Don’t feel bad, we’ve all done it. Life gets the best of us sometimes. Maybe work wouldn’t give you time off, maybe you couldn’t sneak away… whatever the reason is, I got you!
I often write a gift guide like this because we all have experienced this or dare I say it, forgot to shop for someone (shocked emoji face).
Whatever the reason is for your last-minute holiday shopping is, take a deep breath, and read on. Here is my favorite LAST Minute holiday shopping gift guide. I’m talking, the day before Christmas, oh crappy what am I gonna do gift guide….
Gifts for Him:
Workshirt: Bryan loves Express for inexpensive work shirts and ties. They are currently doing a 50% off sale so hurry and take advantage!
Tie/Belt: if you’re only getting him a tie or belt make sure its a nice one so maybe head to Bloomingdales to find something. They have staff members that are very knowledgeable and can help you no matter the price point.
Sneakers: If your man is a sneaker fan like mine head to these sites to find some great options: https://www.goat.com/ and https://stockx.com/
Tickets for sporting event or concerts: this is always fun because he can take a buddy or take you 🙂
Gifts for Her:
Spa gift card
Jewelry: If you still don’t know what to get, jewelry is ALWAYS a good idea. for great holiday deals check out: Kay Jewelers or Nordstrom for every price point.
Elegant PJs: something made of silk maybe. think classy, not trashy. Again quick last-minute places with lots of selections are always going to be your department stores: Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, but if you want to do online check out Shopbop for a wide selection.
Robe: I love the selection at Anthropologie and Shopbop (if you are gonna order offline for last-minute gifts I would recommend you make sure they have 2-day shipping like amazon or Shopbop or in-store pickup)
Gift card to favorite stores: A few of my favorites are Mango, H&M, Zara, Anthropologie, Shopbop, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales
Bath balms: I love the Lush cosmetics ones personally. They have stores all across the country so you can walk in and get a few. Maybe even put together a cute basket of bath time essentials if you know she loves bubble baths.
Air Pods: I totally want the new ones with the rubber because I have the old ones and they hurt my ears
Apple Watch: I have one and love it. So helpful for multitasking and making life easier.
Luxury Skincare: some favorites are Amore Pacific, La Mer, Shiseido, Sulwhasoo, La Praire, Sisley, Givenchy, YSL Beauty, Tom Ford

Revlon hairdryer and volumizer I’m adding this to multiple categories because its one of my favorite things and I know anyone would love it!
Sports apparel: check out Fans Edge
Home electronics: is there something they mentioned they would love? is there something that will make their life easier? Maybe they are pet owners, would a pet cam be something they would love? Maybe a Sonos speaker?
