-
You know that moment when you go through November thinking you had plenty of time till Christmas and next thing you know, it is 19th December and you still have gifts to buy? It's okay, we've all been there. If this is you now, check out our quick fire list of last minute gifts! Without buying those dreaded aftershave packs!

Flowers & Plants 
Nature goes a long way. You can find some beautiful unique plants for that special someone. This alternative gift will spice up their room and will have them speaking about it non stop! Here are some suggestions: Waitrose & Partners stock a variety of indoor and outdoor plants. For example a Yucca elephantipes (Shown below).

Hamper:
Are you struggling to think of one main gift for someone? This year put together a handmade hamper. Go to your local convenience store and get a basket. Then will it with loads of sweet items. This could range from stationary, hot chocolate, a gift card, clothing, and much more! These are a great way to please anyone. If you are buying for an adult, why no put a bottle of fizz in there too! This gift can take a little extra time, so why not check out your local supermarkets? They have pre-made hampers that will bring the Christmas spirit to anyone! Waitrose is a great example, with gift boxes and hampers ranging from £25, all the way up to £1000. They really do have something for everyone.

Subscription:
Sock Exchange, from £20, thelondonsockexchange.net 

Last minute gifts are all about making it look like you have put thought into it. Subscription boxes do this all for you! All you need to do is think of what the recipient is interested in or will find useful. You pay a few months in advance and the recipient will get a huge variety of the products in that category. There are thousands of great subscription boxes out there, including beauty boxes, tea, cheese, socks, aftershave, and even wine! They will be a box for everything! Here are some other suggestions:
HPE clothing, from £110 for one off the box
(Annual subscription from £85) hpeclothing.com
Novelty gifts:
Gifts like these are a great last minute idea. You can find the perfect funny gift and it won't cost you, your whole wage. Shops such as Menkind will have everything you need.

Last minute gifts don't have to be lacking in worth or thought. We hope this inspired your gift buying!
