POV: It’s the week before Christmas. The stock on the shelves are dwindling down as the festive shoppers reap their annual havoc, and you’re yet to have even made a dent on your gift-buying list. Work is busier than ever, your weekends are filled with pre-booked plans (is it really bad luck if we don't meet before Christmas?) and the one thing you don’t have is time. Meanwhile, it seems everyone you know had their gifts sorted by November 1st. You need inspiration and you need it now. Well, we've got you covered.

While it might be too late to make that personalised scrapbook, it’s not too late to find a gift that brings a smile to the face of someone you love. From homewares to relaxing skincare, we’ve stocked up on all the essential gifts that you won’t have to think twice about. We’re talking candles, wall art, bath salts – the kind of stuff everyone would like to unwrap.

Be it for Christmas, a birthday or any other festivity, our edit of last minute gifts put unique twists on everyday essentials. We put our heads together to think of something for everyone (so that you don't have to). Quick! Get browsing before it’s too late. You can thank us later…
