Last Minute Christmas Gift Guide

Two weeks today until Christmas Day! We are on countdown but do not fear you still have time to finish your shopping and there is no need to panic shop. No matter how late you leave it make sure you buy something personal rather than grabbing the first gift set you see in Boots. If you have a bit of spare time (chances are you haven't but you never know...) why not make something homemade to give as a gift. There is still time to order online too and if you have an Amazon Prime account chances are you can get it delivered tomorrow. Here's a roundup of my best last minute online Christmas gifts.

For Her

Pair of Art Deco Cocktail Glasses

How stunning are these Art Deco style cocktail glasses? I want the immediately for my kitchen, I'll drink water from them I love them that much. And a bargain at just £18 for a set of 2 from The Forest & Co @ Not On The Highstreet
Journal

In the hope of being more mindful, I plan on journaling next year. I like the look of this pretty journal because it has a magnetic closure to keep all those thoughts and feelings tucked away safe. It is also blank inside so you can be as creative (or not) as you like without feeling you have to complete sections just because they are part of the book format. This is great if you are buying for a gift as the recipient can use it in whatever format they desire. Just £10.50 with free Prime Delivery

For Him

Dolce Gusto Piccolo Coffee Maker

Husband loves a good cup of coffee but I'm not a fan. So it has seemed a bit pointless to buy an expensive coffee maker - but all that has changed. For Christmas I have bought Husband this Dolce Gusto Piccolo coffee maker which is the perfect size for making just one cup of coffee. It also does hot chocolate which I admit I'm rather excited about. You can get bigger models too but this one is around £50 with Prime Delivery.
Transformers: The Last Knight DVD or Blue-Ray

For Little Kids

My Golden Ticket Personalised Book

Is there anything more magical than a personalised book? I had one as a child and I treasure it even now because it holds so many special Christmas memories. The clever folks over at Wonderbly make beautiful personalised children's books. There are loads of different stories to choose from including their new book in collaboration with Roald Dahl - My Golden Ticket - which transports your child to the amazingly delicious world of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. You can order for UK delivery right up until 16th December for guaranteed Christmas delivery! Priced £19.99 + postage for soft cover.
LeapStart Interactive Learning System

Making learning fun is so important and with the LeapStart system kids kids get excited about all kinds of learning from counting and problem solving to reading and creativity. The system works with a clever stylus which picks up on invisible dots on the page to trigger questions, challenges, songs and jokes. . The system comes with one book but you can order different books at the correct level for your child then progress to new books at the get older, growing with them. You can order from Amazon now with Prime delivery for just £30.49

For Big Kids

This T-Shirt was made for my girls, and I've heard it just gets worse as they get older! Available in sizes 5-14yrs this T-Shirt is bound to raise a smile or two on Christmas morning. And I guarantee they will still be asking for more food after 3 helpings of Roast Dinner... From £6.99

Teen Inspirational Colouring Books

Colour away that teenage angst with some beautiful inspirational designs in this stunning colouring book. A bargain at just £6.00 with next day Prime delivery from Amazon. Add some Staedtler Ergosoft pencils (£11.65) which blend beautifully and you have the perfect gift to relax and inspire.

For Everyone

One4all Multistore Gift Card

Load it with any value from £10 upwards at your local post office or online and gift to your loved ones knowing they can buy exactly what they want this Christmas. Sorted.

Last minute presents? I haven't bought any at all - how bad am I?! Love these - you are right, there's nothing better than a personalised gift and my kids would have loved the My Golden Ticket book when they were a little younger (as would I!).

A journal is always a good idea as it's a nice way to start the new year all organised. I've seen the golden ticket books absolutely everywhere this year x

I can not believe we are only 2 weeks away from Christmas, these are lovely ideas. I would love a journal for myself but need to finish getting items for my family first
