Need A Last-Minute Gift? These 5 Are Quick And Easy

Do you keep a list during the holidays to help keep track of your gift-giving? If you do and you’ve already made a list this season, you might want to check it twice—there may be a few names that you’ve missed! (And if you don’t keep a list, but would like to start, get my free printable Christmas gift list ASAP!)

You shouldn’t feel obligated to get gifts for every single person you interact with on a regular basis, but I don’t think any of us wants to be the neighborhood Grinch either. You make an effort to thank the people who deliver your packages, cut your hair, and provide other services that make your life easier, but giving them a small holiday gift is a great way to express your appreciation!

And you don’t have to spend a fortune or go to great lengths to pull together a thoughtful last-minute gift. The ideas below are all based on things you can find at your local grocery store, and I’ve included a FREE printable for each one you can download and print to help tie your gift together. (You can download those near the end of this post!)

5 Last-Minute Gifts And Stocking Stuffer Ideas (With Printable Tags)

1. Emergency Chocolate

Whether you’re buying a gift for a well-known chocoholic or taking a shot in the dark, a bar of chocolate rarely disappoints. Transform an ordinary candy bar into a cute and thoughtful gift by covering it with this fun wrapper. Who couldn’t use a stash of chocolate they can turn to in a stressful situation?

2. You Are “Extra” Special

As groan-worthy as the pun may be, gum is another one of those things you can’t really go wrong giving on Christmas. Tying several packs of gum together and attaching this printable gift tag is a fun way to present this tried-and-true gift.

3. Warm Cookie Lovin’

You can find refrigerated cookie dough in all sorts of tasty varieties and flavors these days, so there’s sure to be a dough out there to suit the taste of anyone on your list. Attach the printable gift tag to it with some ribbon, and you’ve got a practical and super simple gift that anyone would love to get.

(An added bonus of gifting cookie dough rather than cookies? The recipient can freeze the dough, then bake it off in a few weeks when they’re longer up to their eyes in Christmas cookies.)

4. We Just Popped In…

Popcorn lovers, rejoice! If you know someone who loves those huge holiday popcorn tins (and who doesn’t, really?), pair it with this “corny” tag for a funny, more personal touch. (I’m on a roll with these puns!)

5. Season Filled With Sweetness

Fill a bag or plate with your favorite sweet Christmas treats (store-bought or homemade—your call!) and attach this tag for a gift that’s truly unique. (If you’re at a loss for treat ideas, my mom’s signature sour cream cookies are always a big hit.)

Do you have any last-minute gift ideas you’d add to this list?
