30 Super Last-Minute Gift Ideas That You Can Instantly Send Online

Wildgrain Gift Card

Carbivores in your life would love a membership to Wildgrain, a box of all things carb-loaded, from sourdough bread to fresh pastas to artisanal pastries. Even better? Each item promises to go from freezer to table in 25 minutes or less, because who has time to press fresh pasta or keep an eye on that sourdough starter? There are several different box options to match their preferences, including gluten-free and plant-based options. 

Pass along this hot tip too: they can use code SHEKNOWS30 for $30 off their first box and free croissants for life. Yes, for life. 

FTD Flower Delivery

Uh oh, forgot to grab a gift? You can never go wrong sending flowers. FTD makes the process super simple, with their variety of themed arrangements, including holiday centerpieces. As long as you order by 2:00 p.m. in the recipient’s time zone, they promise to deliver same-day thanks to their network of local florists. What a beautiful way to spread holiday cheer. 

Psst! Use code DAISY20 for 20% off sitewide.

Gobble Meal Delivery Subscription

What greater gift is there than not having to drum up an answer for “What’s for dinner?” A subscription to Gobble, a meal delivery service with an array of chef-crafted cuisines, puts dinner on the table fast—a godsend any time, but especially busy times of the year, like back to school and the holiday season. Gobble not only provides delicious meals, but cuts down on grocery shopping, meal prep, and cooking time, putting time back in families’ pockets. On second thought, that’s the greatest gift.

Blinkist Yearly Subscription

A book makes for an unquestionably lovely holiday gift, but access to thousands of books? Now we’re talking. With a subscription to Blinkist’s book-summarizing service, you’ll get access to the highlights from more than 6,500 non-fiction books and podcasts (delivered to you in quick 15-minute listening segments), plus curated book recommendations from experts. By next year, any recipient will be feeling a whole lot smarter—and will have you to thank for it. 

And right now through the end of the year, you can get six months free and 50 percent off. Click here for the offer!

Trade Coffee Subscription

Keep your gift recipient caffeinated with a subscription to Trade. There are a handful of coffee subscription services out there, but to guarantee a happy giftee, Trade is the best, with an impressive roster of brands and even more impressive personalization abilities. They hand-pick the bags of beans to their tastes and how they brew at home. Each bag is roasted to order and delivered on a schedule that works for them.

Levain Cookie Club

We can’t all be so lucky to live down the street from a Levain Bakery. (Not to be dramatic, but if you’ve never had their chocolate chip cookie, prepare for your life to change.) With the Levain Cookie Club, you can prepay a gift subscription so your giftee will receive an eight-pack box of Levain Bakery cookies. That could include forever favorite flavors, like chocolate chip walnut or dark chocolate peanut butter chip, or special seasonal flavors, all delivered straight to their door.

Branch Basics Subscription

The best gifts take off something mundane off your loved one’s plate. Buying cleaning supplies, for instance—especially natural household products that you can’t often grab on an everyday trip to the grocery store. Skip the visit to the expensive speciality shop and gift them a subscription to Branch Basics, which carries a beloved line of non-toxic laundry, dish, and other must-have cleaners. Better yet, gift them a visit from a professional house cleaner.

Calm Subscription

We could all use a little more R&R in our lives. A gift subscription to Calm will do just that. The app is designed to support sleep and reduce stress with music, meditations, and more. A subscription also unlocks a library of over 500 Sleep Stories, so you giftee can drift off to sleep with a bedtime story read by Harry Styles. Sweet dreams, indeed.

BloomsyBox Subscription

For reliable flower delivery that’s both seamless and stunning, we always go with BloomsyBox. Choose from a huge variety of bouquets, searching by flower type, occasion, or even options for next-day delivery. Better yet, gift a flower subscription, which brings joy to your giftee month after month. It’s one of the more affordable options, yet you never sacrifice on quality (nothing worse than wilted flowers arriving at your loved one’s doorstep). This particular bouquet is summer in a vase, and we can already smell those roses on our dining room table.

FreshDirect Membership Gift Card

If your giftee lives in the New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut area, we’re almost certain they’ll appreciate a grocery delivery subscription gift card, and FreshDirect is our favorite grocery shopping platform. It’s simply the freshest and most reliable. Before you get your giftee a card, check where FreshDirect delivers first:

A Personalized Video From a Star

Send your pal a personalized video from their favorite actor using Cameo! Trust us, nothing is more exciting than someone from the Sopranos leaving a personal birthday message (involving gabagool, and the message *must* start with, “aaaaay!”). In all seriousness: Choose from their favorite reality TV stars, famous TikToker, singer, internet personality, athlete, comedian and more. Messages can start as low as $30 (although bigger stars like Joe Pantoliano are closer to $200 a pop). A lot of Cameo stars can deliver the message in 24 hours, too. 

MasterClass

With a subscription to MasterClass, an online learning platform that offers lessons from industry leaders and bona fide celebrities, you take classes about acting, cooking, fashion design from A-listers like Natalie Portman, Steph Curry, Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour from the comfort of home. A lot of people wouldn’t justify buying it for themselves, which makes it the perfect gift that’s totally procrastinator-friendly.

Amazon Prime Membership

Okay, it may sound kind of basic, but if you’re a Prime member, you already know how much the service’s ridiculously expansive product range is, and how the one to two-day shipping speeds are a major game changer. Plus, Prime members get access to special deals and streaming services. Right now, you can get one week of prime for $1.99, and after that, it’s $15 a month.

A Walmart+ Subscription

In this economy, everyone is looking for ways to save a buck. One easy way is to check out Walmart+, which is the alternative to that retailer that rhymes with shmamazon. We actually did the research and found that Walmart+ offers a ton more benefits, including free shipping with no order minimum, same-day delivery on most orders, savings on gas (!!!!), free Paramount+, and more. And the inventory selection is huge. So, gift a year’s worth of Walmart+ to that person you love—we promise they’ll get a lot of use out of it.

An Airbnb Gift Card

If your giftee loves to travel, give ’em an Airbnb gift card they can use toward their next trip! It *is* summer, so whether they’re looking to book a weekend getaway, or a month-long Eurotrip, a bit of cash goes a long way — and they can spend it however they want it on Airbnb.

A Nordstrom Gift Card

Considering Nordstrom’s iconic Anniversary Sale is on the horizon, we’re adding a Nordstrom’s e-gift card to this list so your giftee can take full advantage of your gift and of the deals. Whether they love to shop for new clothes, new fragrances, shoes, or home goods, you literally cannot go wrong with Nordstrom’s diverse offerings. 

Planet Friendly Cleaning Products

Hear me out: I know cleaning products don’t seem gift-y, but when we’re talking about Blueland, YES they are. (See also: Signs you’re officially in your 30s.) This premium, sustainable, and safe cleaning brand makes some of the best cleaning supplies on the market. When you subscribe, you save 20% off the products, so hook your pal up with the first box or two, and they can decide if they want to keep it going (chances are, they will!). 

Disney Plus Subscription

Disney+ has all the Disney (and Marvel, Star Wars, etc.) franchises, so why not gift the Disney-obsessed person on your list with one of the most coveted streaming memberships with the Disney+ Gift Subscription Card? For just $70 bucks a pop (and few clicks) you can gift a year’s worth of binge-worthy content. Get the Disney and Hulu bundle for $10 a month, or Hulu, Disney, and ESPN for $15 a month.

The Most Hyped Kids’ Subscription Box

There’s a reason why every mom on the block is talking about Lovevery Play Kits: They’re personalized by age, thoughtfully put together, and educational. This is the ideal gift if you have just been googling, “WTF do I get a 2-year-old?” This gift. Parent and kid will thank you endlessly. 

Ipsy

For just $10 a month (or $110 if you want to gift them for the whole year), IPSY delivers their signature, curated Glam Bags to your giftee each month. It’s a fun way to get to try new products without committing or splurging on full size products that you’re not sure you’re in love with yet. Plus, there’s nothing like getting a package delivered full of beauty surprises.

Goldbelly Gift Card

Chicago pizza. New York bagels. Kansas City BBQ. The famous rainbow cake.

… These are just a few of the things that someone can use their GoldBelly gift card to order. The company ships meals from some of the best—and most well-known— restaurants across to country (think: Joe’s Stone Crab, 2nd Avenue Deli, and Din Tai Fun) to anywhere in the US. Needless to say, it’ll blow their usual Seamless order out of the water.

ClassBento Class

Know someone who’s always wanted to learn how to mix cocktails? Knit blankets? Arrange flowers? Well, ClassBento’s got a class for that. With hundreds of virtual and in-person class offerings including art, cooking, mixology, candle-making, baking, and more, there is truly something for everyone here. 

Hulu Subscription

Hulu has an astonishingly large amount of movies and TV shows to choose from, and you can even add on Disney and ESPN as a bundle and save. The subscription starts at just $11!

Lyft Gift Card

Okay fine, so technically it’s a gift card, but while it may unconventional, it will be much appreciated. The advent of ride sharing apps has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient, whether you want to grab happy hour with friends without having to drink and drive (and please, don’t) or don’t want to pay $30+ for parking at a concert. However, these inexpensive rides can definitely add up. Having a comped balance in your Lyft account is a special treat that’s more useful than you’d think. They’ll really appreciate it.

Bark Box Subscription

Any pet parent will tell you that a gift for their furry bestie is just as good as a gift for them… especially if said gift will keep them entertained. Enter: Bark Box, which will arrive once a month (for either one, six, or 12 months, depending on the plan you choose) chock full of seasonally-themed toys and treats curated for your dog. 

Zenni Gift Card

With thousands of fully customizable eyeglasses and sunglasses to choose from, the fun of a Zenni gift card starts well before the frames arrive at your doorstep (check out the collections from fashion icons like Iris Apfel, Keke Palmer, and Cynthia Rowley for inspiration). And considering there are many styles that cost little more than $20, a $50 gift card will go a long way. Your pal with glasses (or subscription sunglasses) will thank you.

Boxy Charm

$30 a month for $200 worth of products may sound like a deal that’s too good to be true, but that’s exactly what you’ll get with Boxy Charm’s subscription service—which any beauty lover is guaranteed to swoon over. 

Territory Foods

For the foodie or wellness junkie in your life, a Territory Foods digital gift card is a thoughtful gift that will allow them to order from a vast selection of tasty pre-made dishes delivered straight to their door. Whether they’re plant-based or following a special diet like Keto or Whole30 (or just like healthy and actually delicious meals that are ready in minutes), they’ll not only be excited to select their meals for the week, but they’ll also totally enjoy a week off from cooking.

Class Pass

I don’t know if it’s just an LA thing, or simply a thing in general, but most of my friends prefer to take a workout class rather than hit the gym to workout or the pavement for an outdoor run. Unfortunately, exercise classes are definitely not cheap. This gift will help them kick off the 2020 with a newfound motivation to get in (or keep in) shape and actually not get bored while in the process.

PourMore Alcohol of the Month Club Membership

Forget wine of the month. Pourmore’s subscription services offer monthly deliveries of pretty much any liquor of choice—whether that’s tequila, whiskey, scotch, mezcal, bourbon, or rum. Cheers!
