Last-Minute Ideas for Christmas Shoppers in Runcorn

Fri 17 Dec 2021

This two-minute read might just be your get-out-of-jail-free card if you’ve left it late to buy Christmas gifts.

A conversation with my colleagues recently made me realise that with just over a week to go before Christmas Day, most of us still had people to buy gifts for.

So, if you’re in the same situation and need some late/last-minute present inspiration, check out these 15 ideas.

For Her

To pamper – a spa day at a local beauty salon.

To relax – a luxuriously scented candle (look at Jo Malone if you want to push the boat out).

To savour – a chocolate box subscription (Hotel Chocolat is worth a look for the chocolate connoisseur).

To de-stress – a shiatsu neck and shoulder massaging machine.

To experiment – The Great British Bake Off latest recipe book or maybe Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook.

For Him

The tech lover – a 3-in-1 Apple device charging station.

The early riser – a sunrise wake-up light alarm clock.

The fitness fan – an electric mini-massage tool.

The thrill-seeker – an experience day – hundreds of options out there, including driving around a racetrack, sailing, or parachuting.

The fan – a personalised video message from a sportsperson or celebrity.

For the Home

As a home lover, no last-minute list from me would be complete without five gifts you can buy for people to use in their homes.

• A marble desk organiser.
• A customised house portrait.
• Personalised coasters.
• Frame a favourite photo.
• Hardback coffee table books – National Geographic’s Destinations of a Lifetime or perhaps one from our local Curiosity Bookshop in Runcorn.
