Last-Minute Gift Ideas for Christmas

Can you believe Christmas is in ten days?!

 

While we are almost there, you still have time to order what’s left on your list! When I need something quickly, I tend to gravitate towards Amazon. With Prime shipping, I can receive things within a couple of days! Even without Prime, they tend to be pretty quick and most of the items I look at qualify for free shipping, so that always helps!

 

I decided to put together this list of last-minute gift ideas for Christmas for you today in case you need a little something to finish up someone on your list, or even for yourself if you find something you like!

 

For Disney Fans

 

I don’t know about you, but Disney isn’t just for the kiddos these days! My best friend and I love Disney and I always have something on her list that’s Disney-related, so I thought these would be fun to share.

Funko POP! Cinderella Collectable Figure – They have a ton of other Disney options, but I love Cinderella, so I chose her for the feature!

 

Disney 2023 Calendar by Thomas Kinkade – I buy one of these every year for my best friend and she loves them! They also have wall calendars or pocket calendars, too.

 

BePuzzled Aristocats Marie 3D Crystal Puzzle – These are both fun to put together and beautiful to look! Just like the Funko figures, there are a ton of different puzzles to choose from!

 

For Cozy Vibes

 

I love all things cozy! I think especially with winter weather on its way (or already here!), anything warm and comfy is a great gift!

 

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā  Ā Ā  Ā Ā 

 

Berkshire VelvetLoft Blanket – I bought this as a gift and my friend can attest that this is the coziest blanket!

 

Merokeety Cardigan – I haven’t bought this one before, but it looks so soft and cozy, and is highly rated!

 

Dream Pairs Moccasins – I literally live in these while I’m at home!

 

For the Book Lover

 

It will depend on the type of books that the person you’re buying for is interested in, but I tried to pick a few of my favorites! If you’re unsure what they like to read, an Audible gift subscription could be a great idea!

Where the Crawdads Sing – Such an amazing book and the movie is also very good, if you’d rather buy that as a gift!

 

It Ends With Us – I think it’s safe to say that Colleen Hoover is all the rage right now and would make a great gift to a book lover.

 

Book Lovers – Speaking of book lovers, I’m in the middle of this book right now! It’s very good!

 

For the Chocolate Lovers

 

You typically can’t go wrong with sweet treats this time of year, so they definitely make for simple, but delicious gifts!

Sanders Sea Salt Caramels – These caramels are the best!

 

Fannie Mae Pixies – These are delicious and make for a pretty gift with a card!

 

Godiva Assorted Chocolates – I love Godiva chocolates, they are so good and are beautifully packaged already!

 

That’s a wrap on my last-minute gift ideas for Christmas, friends!

 

I hope you found something that you liked here on this list, either for someone you’re buying for or even for yourself! I’d love to know if you’re all finished up shopping, or still picking up some odds and ends! I am finished except for gift cards, so those will be quick and easy!

    I really love Disney too! I have never tried those sea salt caramels, but that is my favorite kind of chocolate. I have Book Lovers on my to read list! I’ve read the other two books you mentioned and they’re good ones!

    These are great gift ideas, thanks for sharing! Even though it’s summer here I like the look of that cosy cardigan! šŸ™‚ And o course chocolate is always a good idea! Thankfully I have all the presents bought and wrapped so I can relax a bit and enjoy the rest of the Christmas season – the day is coming up so fast!

🄣 Chicken Tortilla Soup — Stovetop
Ā 
Ingredients
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked — diced or shredded)
• ½ cup diced yellow onion
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 (15 oz) can chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 (15 oz) can corn — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can original Rotel — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• ½ tsp chili powder
Ā 
Directions
Add everything to a pot on the stove, mix well, and let simmer for 1 hour. The flavor gets even better the longer it sits, but since everything’s already cooked, it’s ready once heated through!
Ā 
Top with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, or whatever your heart desires. 🤤 I love to serve this soup with cheesy garlic bread!

What’s your go-to winter comfort meal?
