LAST minute Christmas Gift Ideas

For the adventurous and creative

For those who have a bit of an artistic or adventurous streak, why not give them an experience they’ll always remember? There are plenty of sites which offer adventures and experiences, and the best thing is that you can buy online, print the voucher, pop it in a pretty envelope, and your gift is done! No waiting for delivery, and no trips to the shopping centre. Our pick? An 8-week Digital Photography Course.

For those who love to spend time in the kitchen creating edible masterpieces, some unique kitchen and baking ware is a must. We love quirky and functional gifts like this 24-piece Stainless Steel Pastry Tube set.

For globetrotters and those with the travel bug, travel books like a Lonely Planet Hawaii Travel Guide are a great option.

A handy duffle bag is also always useful for those who travel frequently. Find one in a bright colour so it’s easily recognisable. This one by Rugged Xtremes is waterproof and super durable.

For the foodie

For those who love the gourmet things in life, you can’t go past an all-in one food hamper like this Savoury Platter Hamper including Antipasto Olives, Pecorino and Green Olive biscuits, Basil and Sun-dried Tomato Pesto, Basil and Roasted Garlic Pesto and Avocado and Garlic Dip.

If you know a health nut, be sure to get them some treats they’ll feel good about enjoying this Holiday Season. These Dark Chocolate Covered Banana pieces are dairy free, soy free, gluten free, high in antioxidants, and delicious. There’s also delicious Organic Raw Chocolate, and Chocolate Covered Blueberries – perfectly delicious stocking stuffers!

If they’re into fitness, for a stylish and functional Christmas present, try a bright coloured yoga mat, like this one from Nike.

If you’re not sure what sport they’re currently partaking in, there are also gift cards like the Rebel Sport Gift card, which gives them the freedom to choose their own workout gear and equipment. 

Kids love hands-on toys and games that let them be creative (and make a little bit of a mess at the same time). Try something that lets them have fun with colour, like a Clay Super Factory Plasticine Set.

For kids who love to spend their time outdoors, you can’t go past a fun outdoor toy like this Wahu Pool Party Super Slide.

For the teenager who seemingly has it all, why not get them the newest in fun gadgets? The Skatecycle won an International Design Excellence Award and a permanent place in the Henry Ford Museum. (Check out the video of the Skatecycle in action – you may just want to buy one for yourself!)

For the girls, a pretty gift set is the perfect present. This Sweet Surprise Gift Pack from MOR Cosmetics contains hand cream and a mini soap, all packaged in a gorgeous box and tin.
