In a gifting pinch? These thoughtful present picks are ready-to-ship and ready-to-wow.
The clock may be counting down, but there’s still time to grab a thoughtful last-minute gift or two for your loved ones! Whether it’s personalized with their initials or celebrates a beloved hobby that shows how one-of-a-kind they are, you’ll find tons of last-minute unique gifts on Etsy to make them feel special—and they’re ready to ship for an oh-so-merry delivery.
Pro tip: If you’re based in the US and browsing on desktop, you can use the Estimated Arrival search filter to find gifts that should arrive by a certain date*. You can also check where the item ships from using the Shop Location filter, as ordering items closer to you is more likely to reduce your purchase’s carbon footprint (and typically ensures a speedier delivery!).
Out of time? Etsy gift cards are a unique gift idea and ready in a flash thanks to digital delivery. If you’re feeling crafty, you can even create a DIY gift card holder in the shape of the handcrafted Etsy item you’ve got your eye on.
