In Ultimate Gift Guide we’re bringing you all the best advice on gifting, whether you need something to share for the holidays, bring to an event, or gift just because!
It can be hard to make the time to find the perfect Christmas gifts, let alone wrap and send them to their patiently waiting recipients. Holiday gifts are going fast this year — and carriers are experiencing high demand — but it’s not too late to share a little holiday cheer with family and friends with these thoughtful last-minute gift ideas. Think of gifts that can bring joy long after the holidays, such as subscription boxes, kitchen supplies, and eGift cards. And holiday treats, such as baked goods and Christmas gift baskets for the whole family, will surely make their season merry and bright.
Here are 10 last-minute Christmas gift ideas that will make your final week of Christmas shopping easy. But we wouldn’t wait until the very last minute…

Add a little sweetness to their holiday with the Classic David’s Holiday Banquet Gift Box. This adorable box comes decorated for the holidays and includes six seasonal pears, paradise dried fruit mix, raspberry galetes, and milk chocolate-covered cherries. This is a perfect gift for your holiday hostess (or a perfect gift for yourself, if you’re feeling cheeky).
Fruit-of-the-Month Club
The best Christmas gifts are the ones that keep on giving (and boost your vitamin C levels). With a Fruit-of-the-Month Club subscription, the recipient will get a different box of fresh seasonal fruit delivered every month. From sweet HoneyBells in February to strawberries in May and Oregold® Peaches in August, this gift will remind them you’re thinking of them all year long.

It’s just one last-minute gift you need to send for an entire group that you forgot about.

This delightful box comes with 22 cookies, including raspberry-filled tree-cutout shortbread, coconut macaroons, and gingerbread sandwiches. These are best enjoyed with a cup of eggnog and while singing a few carols, as well as spending time with folks named Carol.
