Whether it’s before Christmas or after Christmas, last-minute gift-buying is not something anyone feels like doing, especially in the tail-end of a tragic year. Ordering online is always an option, but you have to prepare for packages arriving a little late.

 

This is a problem I ran into with getting gifts. Sometimes, there’s just nothing that someone you know actually needs. Also, trying to spend on a budget for multiple friends and family members could get tough.

 

Here are some things I did in terms of gift ideas that were last minute:

 

1. Germ-free keys: If you’ve been to any store or used a touchpad since March 2020, you might’ve seen people using these little key touchers. They look like keys, but they’re touchpad friendly and you can easily do a transaction without using your actual fingers or the pen attached.

 

2. Masks: They’re everywhere at this point. A few gifts I bought for people were masks from their favorite fashion brands so they can be safe in style.

 

3. Food: Never underestimate the joy in a good meal! One of my closest friends dreads cooking, but always finds recipes she wants to try and cook. Supermodel Gigi Hadid’s vodka sauce pasta recipe has been swirling around TikTok since this summer so I gave it a go and it was amazing. My friend wanted to try it but since she doesn’t cook, I made it for her myself and not only was she surprised, but she really enjoyed it!
