Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

I’m sharing #VerizonMobileGifting in my life as part of a Verizon Wireless sponsored series for Socialstars™

Friends the time is upon us. Christmas is days away and many of us still need some last minute gifts. I wanted to share some of my favorite last minute Christmas gift ideas with you guys!

Last-Minute-Gift-Ideas

One of my favorite last minute gift ideas are pretty candles! You can go to places like Anthropologie, Bath and Body Works, and any fun homey boutique and pick up a variety of lovely candles for people. I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t love having yummy smelling candles burning in their home.

Mobile gift card giving with Verizon Message+! Gift giving the mobile way made super easy! This is especially great for a friend or family member you do not see on a regular basis. How fun would it be to get a text message with a note that you’ve been given a gift card to some place you love? Sephora, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Amazon, and Nordstrom are just some of the places you can give gift cards to! You can download the app from the Apple App Store or from Google Play, depending on your device. You can seamlessly send and receive messages on your Smartphone, iOS device, tablet, and desktop. There are over 30 vendors participating in the mobile gifting expansion. They range in categories from dining, to retail, to home goods, and more.

Another really great last minute gift is giving something back. My family does a lot of donation type gifts where someone will donate to a charity in everyone’s name. I think donating $25 even to a charity close to someones heart is an amazing gift idea. I would absolutely love if someone donated to the LLS in my name.

What are your favorite last minute Christmas gifts ideas?

    This is actually pretty cool! My favorite last minutes gifts are lottery tickets or fancy chocolates! There is a french bakery here in PGH that has amazing macarons! I’ve been known to gift a few of those as well.

    I didn’t know this existed! I’ll have to check it out, it would be cool to get a message saying I’ve got a gift card. This maybe what I need to tie up those few loose Christmas ends.

    I love donation style gifts! My boyfriend always tells his mom that he doesn’t want anything for Christmas (or birthday) but if she wants to get him something to make a donation to his son’s college fund instead. It’s so sweet!

    Such a great idea for last minute gifts. I really love the charity idea the best. I would love if someone donated to our March of Dimes team or to the TTTS Foundation in our name too.
