We’ve all done it.  Left buying that important person a gift because we’ve a) forgot b) have no idea what to buy them or c) been so busy time has just run away with you and before you know it, it’s Christmas in less than 2 weeks!  Eek!

So to help you out, here’s my quick last minute gift guide to get you out of this present buying pickle you’ve found yourself in.  There’s a little something here for everyone, so I’m sure it will inspire you.

1. Chocolates from Sent With A Loving Kiss

How about these gorgeous artisan chocolates from Sent With A Loving Kiss?  This beautiful tin is filled with handmade milk, dark and white chocolate treats that’s sure to be a hit with any sweet lover.  These could be a hit with Mum, Gran or Girlfriend and as it’s something you don’t often see on the high street, they’ll think you really went out of your way for them.

2. Gift Voucher

Giving cash can feel like such a cop out, so why not send a gift voucher instead this year?  Voucher Express are the perfect one stop shop and you’ll find something for everyone from days out to high street store vouchers.  This site really does take the effort out of it, whilst adding that personal touch at the same time!

3. For The Baby

If you want to add a little something to the baby’s stocking, how about a Christmas Dinner from Ella’s Kitchen?  The jingle belly pouch is a special edition and money from each one sold is donated to the Kids Company, helping those less fortunate at this time of year.

4. A Festive Letterbox Cake

Baker Days make a lovely range of personalised festive cakes that fit through the letterbox, so no hanging around for the postman to deliver it.  These divine cakes will make a welcome treat for any loved one.

 5. Sykes Cottage Holiday

OK, a whole holiday may be a little extravagant, but a contribution may be very gratefully received.  You can buy Sykes Gift Vouchers from as little as £25 and with over 5000 cottages across the UK, I’m sure your recipient will find the perfect Summer or Winter retreat.

 6. ‘Great Beard’ Man Mug

Just for fun, I found this great mug for that beard in your life!  I found this little beauty on Not On The High Street which is full of amazing ideas for friends and family.  This would make a great Secret Santa or present for an on trend Grandad.

7. A Special Stocking

If you want to make someone’s first Christmas very special how about presenting their gifts in this adorable personalised stocking from Wowwee.  A present like this is sure to make an appearance every year making it a truly treasured gift.

8. Who Doesn’t Love Coffee (or Tea!)

If you faced with the person who really does have everything, what is their favourite morning beverage?  Who doesn’t like to start the day with a strong coffee or a lovely brew? Why not head over to Whittards gift selection where you are sure to find a special little treat to start someone’s day of on just the right foot.

I hope you find those last minute gifts, and I hope I’ve helped you on the inspiration front. Where do you shop when you are really struggling for ideas?

Merry Christmas 🙂
