Last minute gift ideas! Did you wait until the last minute to get gifts? Or maybe, your gift just got lost in the hustle and bustle of holiday shipping and it definitely won’t be here in time for the upcoming holiday. OR possibly, you were gifted something special from someone you did not expect to receive a gift from, and now you are scrambling to reciprocate!
You actually have several options, and honestly…I think most people would be THRILLED to receive any one of these last minute gift ideas!
Digital gifts – books & gift cards
Digital gifts are simple and quick. If you know the person’s email address, you can email them the gift. Amazon makes this super simple!
- Email Amazon Gift Cards (if you don’t know their email address, you can email this to yourself instead and print out the voucher. OR you can text message it to them or message it to them on Facebook!).
- Books – You CAN gift books if you know your recipients email address. Just go under the pricing info where you can see this:
if the option to gift is available.

Magazine Subscriptions – Gifting magazine subscriptions is quite easy. You can just subscribe to the magazine you know your recipient will enjoy, and then run to the store to get the current issue. Gift the current issue with a voucher or receipt for the full subscription! My favorite places to subscribe to magazines are Amazon and DiscountMags.
Your gift recipient will enjoy:
- An unmatched selection of audiobooks performed by world-class talent.
- 3 titles for each month of their gift membership: 1 audiobook + 2 Audible Originals.
- 30% off any additional audiobooks.
- Anywhere, anytime listening with the free Audible app.
- Free and easy audiobook exchanges.
- An Audible book library they’ll own forever.
Kindle Unlimited Subscription – Choose from a Kindle Unlimited 6, 12 and 24-month membership plan!
*Unlimited reading from over 1 million ebooks
*Unlimited listening to thousands of audiobooks
*Read on any device
*Membership plans are also giftable
Music Streaming service: Choose from Amazon Music Unlimited, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Spotify or another subscription service.
Netflix or Hulu Subscription – Give the gift of unlimited entertainment! Both instant streaming services offer different show/movie options. Honestly, nowadays most people already have access to one or the other service, but if not…I would opt to gift Netflix over Hulu!
Gift cards for these services are available at most grocery stores, walmart, walgreens, etc.
Subscription Boxes – There are SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM! While this won’t give you something physical to hand over today, you can print out a certificate (make your own FREE Gift Certificate with Canva!) and gift that as the promise of the gift that just keeps on giving.
