Last minute gift guide

Easy Christmas gifts for everyone you know

Tuesday, 18 Dec 2012

Dawdled too long and panicking because it’s the week before Christmas? Honey, we feel your pain.

We’ve made last-minute Christmas holiday shopping easy with these 11 great products that you can buy (and wrap) in time for Christmas!

Still worried that you won’t be able to satisfy the in-laws? Try a helicopter ride over Singers. You’ll blow everyone else’s gifts out of the water. Bonus: the gift’s for four!

For foodies, aspiring chefs, or even as a great family gift, we cannot recommend the Pizza Perfecter Oven more. You get a perfect pizza in 10 minutes every time! Compile a list of favourite pizza recipes and you have yourself an extra thoughtful present.

Find the best party frocks for littlies at Minor Avenue, then proceed to give everyone a little closet revamp. We’re especially digging this UAOF shirt for the boys and this Suboo maxi stunner available at Willow & Huxley.

Buying for the girlfriends? Try a sensible Lanvin heel – perfect for a great night out without the pain. Those who prefer their jewellery understated will adore this Carrie K. Tough As Nails Ring (we think it’s a keeper), but if she likes it loud, opt for this pair of Kendra Scott shoulder dusters.

If you need to score a few brownie points with the boss, pick up this Jil Sander briefcase (psst, it’s currently on sale!). Otherwise, it also makes a great reward for the overachieving husband. This Pratten wallet (available at Shiva Designs) is great for girlfriends, mothers, and even teenage girls.

Finally, if you’re looking for a great coffee table book to gift family friends, Sealey Brandt’s new photography book of portraits of children from around the world will end your search.

Now just put your feet up and relish those Christmas compliments.
