Last minute gift ideas (without going to the shops)
Okay if you have been slack and left it right to the last-minute, you still have some options without braving that Christmas Eve dash to the shops.
You just need ten minutes online and you are sorted. These ideas work well for all sorts of occasions.
Bless the internet!
♥ Gift Vouchers
Most online stores have gift vouchers and will email them to you so you can print them out or forward on to your recipient. I think gift vouchers are actually a pretty good choice when you are unsure about what to buy. There are a lot of unwanted gifts that end up in landfill!
Here are some of my favourite places that offer gift vouchers:
Beautiful Because – all natural one-stop beauty shop
Flora and Fauna – vegan beauty, body, gifts and home
Biome Eco Store – natural, eco and fair trade
Emporio Organico – luxe skincare, makeup and health products
Twenty 8 – aromatherapy and skincare
Lemon Canary – candles, new age rituals, crystals, perfumes, mists and more
Australian Geographic – nature and science gifts
Hello Charlie – everything organic baby and kids
Dymocks – Aussie owned family book store
Earthing Oz – radiation protection and earthing products
Etsy – handmade goodness
Adrenaline – for all sorts of fun experiences
♥ Subscriptions
The gift that keeps on giving every month. I often buy a magazine subscription as a gift. It takes less than five minutes to do and it’s easy to set it up to get them sent to your loved ones address. If you are not sure what magazine they would prefer, you can also get a gift card. Too easy.
These are some of my faves:
♥ Ebooks
So easy! Most ebooks have instant download as soon as you pay. Just forward on the link with a nice Christmas message. Done.
Some of my favourites:
♥ Oxfam Unwrapped
We love giving Oxfam Unwrapped cards. Gift your loved ones with a goat, a duck, clean water, wells and more. Check it out here.
