My favorite last minute gift ideas by Andrea. Black minimalist christmas tree included

This list will be your new favorite list for Christmas gifts this year. These are trending products or those I use personally and can’t get enough of. While many people are done shopping, there are always a few last minute gifts we need. Sometimes we forget a co-worker or our niece’s-boyfriend’s -little-sister. I always like to keep a few gifts on hand for those unexpected times someone gives me a gift and I wasn’t prepared to reciprocate. I keep gift bags and tissue ready and voila – a gift ready to share.

Feeling guilty from all those “it’s Christmas and Christians should focus on Jesus” messages? I’m here to say you don’t have to feel guilty to buy some Christmas gifts. We can love Jesus and share gifts all at the same time. ❤️

While it’s a bit late, if you have Amazon Prime, there’s still plenty of time! (love the rhyme there?)

Without further ado, let’s get started!

Decor

Jim Shor does amazing work and he doesn’t disappoint. Even better, it’s a trio of GNOMES! If you have been outside your house at all this year, you know that gnomes rule the day. They seem to be everywhere! In true Jim Shore style, these are beautiful.

I’m a coffeeholic, so this “gift” may be for me this year! By the way, if you really want to show love to the coffeeholic in your life, you can get them one of these subscription boxes so they have new and fun coffee every month. If you see my husband, put a bug in his ear about it! 😀

I’m not sure why, but I always seem to need one of these every year. While a practical gift, it’s perfect for the new couple or soon-to-be college graduate.

I have these (and a few others like them) by Lenox and they always make me smile when I decorate. They are gorgeous in their simplicity.

Family Fun

When my boys were younger they LOVED coding. I wish this had been available then! It’s literally the gift that keeps on giving. With this gift you get a coding subscription box for kids 8-12 years old. They learn actual coding skills and learn to hone those skills month-to-month.

I’m not naming any names, but I have two family members who love all things Harry Potter, including the Fantastic Beasts follow-up books and movies. This is perfect for those family members who still watch movies from dvd/blu-ray. (There are other purchasing options like DVD or Prime Video at the link below)

Speaking of books, if you are more of an audio book person, be sure to check this out – Amazon Audible has some GREAT deals.

Hands’ down, Risk is my boys’ favorite game. Any boy on your list will love to receive this!

Both my boys love brain teasers. And when their dad gets involved, It’s on! Wonderful gift to have more than one of – they compete to see who can solve it first.

Visiting all of the parks is on my bucket list. This gift is for people like me to plan for that day when they get to see them all!

Practical & Essential Gifts

This is not a gift, but it’s a great price and we will all need some of this on Christmas! 😂

My husband gives flashlights to someone every single Christmas. These are awesome. He swears by the brand and it comes with TWO flashlights so you get two gifts in one here.

I live in Florida and there are always people wanting beachy items for gifts. Best news? It’s washable. 😀 This heavy-duty tote won’t disappoint!

Last but not least, if you’ve been around a while you know that I’m a Bible study geek. And I know I’m not the only one! If the Old Testament has ever confused you, you’re not alone. This study book is a game changer for those of us who love Bible study. The Bible study lover on your list will totally appreciate this!

My oldest son loves Bath and Body Works Ocean for Men. This combo is a great essential gift for the young man in your life. He asked for some for Christmas, so I’ll be getting some too!

I realize this may seem a bit silly, but people are forever losing their charging cubes. This gift will allow everyone to get a stocking stuffer with a cube in their own color! The bright colors make them easy to find and hard for someone to “borrow” under the radar!

Books

No gift list is complete for me without books.

This first one is an amazing story of the Nativity told from the perspective of the angels. You don’t want to miss this superb read by Max Lucado!

Another great Lucado book for Christmas, this one is traditional Max Lucado style with his creative take on seeing past what Scripture says but honoring the truth of our Salvation. Love this book. If you like studies, here’s the accompanying study guide. I enjoyed that, too.

Like Max? Check out this review of Made for this Moment – another great gift book!

Happy shopping! That’s it for today. Have some great ideas? Tell us below!
