Gift Guide | Last Minute Ideas

December 19, 2024 by Courtney 6 Comments

Good morning!!! I’ve been soaking in the family time this week. We have a full house again and it feels so good. I am behind this year with shopping and wrapping but I’m not letting it stress me out. Just making my way through the to-do list knowing it will all get done. Really trying to prioritize spending time with friends and family. If you are like me and not quite done, then maybe these last minute gift ideas will help. I definitely need to place a stocking order.

1 | Bungee Game

Tried and true game. We have so many great memories playing this with friends and family. Easy to leave out on the table or island . . . people gravitate towards it.

2 | Summer Fridays

This is the gift I took to a favorite things party and it got stolen all three times. A great gift. Gifting my nieces this as well. I use it daily. The tinted ones are great for adding color, especially if you don’t love wearing lipstick.

3 | Tapple Game

This game was one of our Advent activities this year. A new game for us and we love it. You can play in 30 minutes and it’s really fun . . .lots of laughter.

4 | Osea Set

Can’t say enough great things about this set. Need a last minute gift . . . this is a no brainer. Wonderful products.

5 | Felt Tip Pens

Excellent stocking stuffer. My girl studies best with colorful notes so she is getting a fresh set of pens.

6 | Overnight Bag

Love this bag! You know that. Riley and I both adore it. One of our very favorite gift we have ever received.

7 | Makeup Bag

I really like the separate compartment for brushes. A nice stocking stuffer or fill with a Summer Fridays Lip balm!

8 | Uggs

Will arrive by Christmas. Can never go wrong. My daughter is asking for these. She has worn hers for years and they have seen better days.

9 | Soft Hoodie

Huge fan of this hoodie. I randomly bought for my son and he loves. I have since purchased two more. True to size.

10 | Headphones

Great gift especially for the kids who play sports and commute or travel a lot.

11 | Wireless Thermometer

My husband has this wireless meat thermometer and loves it. A great gift. We gifted a couple of people this last year.

This is another home run gift. This book is beautiful and so fascinating. A great idea for the guys in your life.

This is so random but amazing! I was at a friend’s house and saw her adult daughter had put this together over the break. It’s the most intricate amazing book nook (other styles available).So much better than Legos because it doesn’t take up all of the space. If you have anyone crafty (made for older teens or adults) who loves to get lost in a project, this is so great. I ordered one for Riley. It’s far cuter in person and even lights up.

It just doesn’t get any cuter. So impressed with these.

This turntable is also great for anyone in the family. It comes in other colors and is $39!

I hope this has been helpful. I am off to fill some stockings and bake our favorite Salted Chocolate Chip Caramel bars.

And if you have a class party or any party you are a bit behind for, this dessert hack is a life saver!!!!

If you are looking for more ideas you can see more of my gift guides below. Enjoy these next few days. And let the small things go . . .nobody remembers the details . .just how they felt and time together.

    Hoping you can wrap it all up soon! (Pun intended:) I’m off to buy ingredients for your (or your sister’s???) White Cheddar and Potato Gratin. I asked my mom what I could bring and she said “Just the potatoes…I love those!!!”

      Love the pun. My dad was always dropping puns and I miss that.

      And yes!!! We make them every Christmas, too. I love that your mom said that! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
