Last-Minute Christmas Shopping Ideas

A conversation among our team recently made us realise that with just over a week to go before Christmas Day, most of us still had people to buy gifts for.

So, if you’re in the same situation and need some late/last-minute present inspiration, check out these 15 ideas.

To pamper – a spa day at a local beauty salon.

To relax – a luxuriously scented candle (look at Jo Malone if you want to push the boat out).

To savour – a chocolate box subscription (Hotel Chocolat is worth a look for the chocolate connoisseur).

To de-stress – a shiatsu neck and shoulder massaging machine.

To experiment – The Great British Bake Off latest recipe book or maybe Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook.

The tech lover – a 3-in-1 Apple device charging station.

The early riser – a sunrise wake-up light alarm clock.

The fitness fan – an electric mini-massage tool.

The thrill-seeker – an experience day – hundreds of options out there, including driving around a racetrack, sailing, or parachuting.

The fan – a personalised video message from a sportsperson or celebrity.

As estate agents, no last-minute list from us would be complete without five gifts you can buy for people to use in their homes.

A marble desk organiser.

A customised house portrait.

Personalised coasters.

Frame a favourite photo.

Hardback coffee table books – National Geographic’s Destinations of a Lifetime or perhaps one featuring your local area.

And remember, when we shop locally (in our case it’s the shops in Shawlands, Cardonald, Motherwell and Dunoon), we make a big difference to our community.

Where will you be doing your last-minute gift buying?

Thanks for reading and happy shopping.
