last minute christmas gift ideas

Christmas is less than a week away and, with the exception of a gift for my dad (he’s always the hardest person in the world to shop for), I’m feeling pretty good about the fact that I finished all the rest of my shopping over the weekend!  This is the first year in a long time that I’m done with time to spare; I always have the best intentions of starting early but I’m usually the one running around town and hitting up Amazon and getting my money’s worth out of my Prime membership!  There’s still time to get some pretty fabulous gifts, though, so I rounded up some of my favorite finds that I’ve blogged about a lot here on the blog that are fabulously priced and would make for a beautiful gift if you’re in a pinch!

This tortoise ice bucket was my favorite gift last year.  It looks so chic on a bar setup and I’ve used it many times as a makeshift vase, too!

A preserved boxwood wreath adds a festive touch all year long and this one from Target is so well priced for such a generous size!

I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love a blue and white ginger jar.  This one is a beauty and so budget-friendly!

A gorgeous set of marble cheese knives that are on sale right now for $15 (I got a set for myself and one for pretty much everyone I know who loves to entertain)

A Boat, A Whale and a Walrus is still one of my favorite recipe/entertaining books to gift and it looks so pretty on a bookshelf or coffee table, too!

My oversize clam shell, one of my favorite decorative accessories is on sale right now at ZGallerie.  Or, surprise that special someone and get the even more ginormous one!

A Diptyque candle set is the exception to the price-friendly gifts here but I love it so much for a best friend or sister because it’s not typically something they would buy for themself!

This blue and white swirl vase looks gorgeous with big, fluffy hydrangea blooms!

Obsessed with these brass pineapple shot glasses; these are great for the perpetual entertainer and they look beautiful displayed, too!

I’ve spent a small fortune on myrtle topiary, only to kill them weeks later so I refuse to purchase any more for myself but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t take one as a gift, haha!

A brass monogram door knocker for the monogram-obsessed!

This leopard lumbar pillow is bananas in person!

I bought this gold platter for a friend and loved it so much, I wanted to keep it for myself.  Perfect for serving cocktails or a bedside display!

What are some of your favorite gifts to give?
