We’ve all been there. Christmas is merely days away, and we suddenly realize we forgot to buy a gift for a dear friend or family member. Of course, you don’t want them to know they slipped your mind, but you also don’t want to give them a thoughtless, rushed present.

Well, stop panicking. We’ve got 10 great last-minute gifts to delight anyone on your list, from foodies to self-care gurus to children. Most of these don’t require any shipping whatsoever — all you have to do is print out the email confirmation, or let them know what they can expect ahead of time. Others may require shipping — just be sure to check the site to make sure you order by the recommended date to receive by Christmas.

BETTER editors, writers and experts take care to recommend items we really like and hope you’ll enjoy! Just so you know, BETTER does have affiliate relationships. So, while every product is independently selected, if you buy something through our links, we may get a small share of the revenue.
