These 31 last-minute gifts will arrive before Christmas. Shop everything from Airpods to Tory Burch Flats and Coach Bags starting at $18.

From Apple Airpods to Coach Bags, they’ll arrive before Christmas.

I pride myself on having holiday gifting down to a science. That being said, every year a week or two before Christmas, I realize that I have forgotten a person (or five). But I am not going into panic mode—because of this unfortunate annual tradition, I have a cheat sheet of places that will deliver gifts on time without sacrificing quality and whimsy. These are 31 gifts that I would buy even if I wasn’t pressed for time and that will arrive before December 25. 

Act fast to get gifts like an engravable necklace, Martha Stewart’s eye cream, 2025’s ‘It’ Coach bag, and Airpods in before the December 25 buzzer.

Catbird Dollhouse Engravable Gold Heart Locket

You know what really says “I totally did not buy this panicked by the realization I hadn’t bought your gift yet?” Anything custom or engraved such as this locket version of Catbird’s editor-approved Dollhouse Necklace.

Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Contour Cream Supreme

$290 $247 at Saks Fifth Avenue

This is a doozy: Martha Stewart uses this luxe eye cream every day, it’s on (very, very rare) sale at Saks, is in stock, and will arrive in time for Christmas when ordered by December 18. 

It’s the perfect gift for the person complaining about wrinkles or the skin care expert. It reduces fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. Plus it’s an indulgent daily ritual thanks to the metal applicator.

Chanel Look Sharp Makeup Set

Buy Now for $130

This checks off all the boxes. First and foremost, everyone is excited to receive literally anything Chanel. Second, you can choose to have it gift-wrapped, and third it comes with a luxe tweed-esque pouch. 

The pouch contains a pocket mirror and Chanel’s iconic black mascara and brown eyeliner. It’s an equally suitable gift for the makeup novice as it is for the makeup lover. 

By Anthropologie The Zodiac Sweatshirt 

$88 at Anthropologie

Even people who don’t really understand the whole horoscope thing (me) appreciate zodiac-themed things. This Anthropologie sweatshirt will, once again, make the point that you did not buy this gift last minute. 

It’s also a great gift for those unfortunate souls whose birthdays are overlooked amid Christmas/New Year's celebrations.

L’Occitane Shea Butter Citrus Holiday Hand Cream Trio

$33 at Nordstrom

I can’t think of any other hand cream that has the loyal and fervent fanbase of L’Occitane. My aunt, for example, has one of these mini hand creams in every purse, tote bag, and pocket. Yet every year a restock is on her wishlist. 

This colorful limited edition packaging trio is a crowd favorite and will be especially appreciated during the cold and dry winter months. 

La Mer Vibrant Energy Skin Care Set

$557 $420 at Nordstrom

Even the most skin care illiterate have not only heard of La Mer, but also know that it’s the most luxurious, expensive, and indulgent stuff out there. This set is perhaps the only way to score a discount on the brand.

Ugg Tasman Slipper Clog

$110 at Urban Outfitters

When I was about 10-year-old, I got slippers for Christmas and cried. Now, if you gave me a pair of slippers, especially these Ugg ones I would still cry—but tears of happiness and cozy comfort.

Sephora is your best option when you’re cutting it close since, in most places around the country, it offers same-day delivery. Laneige’s lip mask is the obvious best purchase; people either have it, love it, and could use another or they’ve heard so much about it and are thrilled to receive it.
