Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide

Christmas Day is now less than a week away (anyone else panicking a little?), making it officially crunch time for holiday shopping. Some of you may have crossed everyone off your list weeks ago, or perhaps you’re still looking for one or two final things. For those of you who have yet to purchase any gifts (we know you’re out there; no need to be ashamed!), we’ve got you covered. In this blog, we will be sharing a holiday gift guide for last-minute shoppers.

One of the most amazing things about our world today is this beautiful thing called Amazon Prime. Just about anything you need can be on your doorstep in two days flat, and we’re going to use that to our advantage here. If you want your gift to arrive before December 25th, you can order through Amazon Prime 2 Day Shipping through December 22nd!

We know you don’t have time to waste, so we’ll cut to the chase with each gift and tell you exactly how much it’s gonna cost you, why it’s awesome, and who on your list will love to find it under the tree next week. These are some of our favorite gifts for everyone on your list, all eligible for Prime shipping.
