6 Unconventional Last Minute Gifts
This season, with all delivery services overwhelmed and everything else on our plates, some Christmas gifts may have slipped under the radar. We’re bringing you 6 unconventional last minute gifts to give this year. They can mean so much more than you would have expected.
1. Handmade Gifts / Ornaments
Something handmade is so meaningful when giving to family and friends. Hand make an ornament, small craft, or even just a card. This is a great way to show someone you care, even if you have very little time or money to spend.
2. Donations
Donating money in your loved ones name is a great way to give a gift, and can be done as close to Christmas as the morning of. Pick their favorite charity or local organization and donate the budgeted amount in there name. Simple and meaningful.
3. Homemade Goods/Treats
There’s nothing like homemade Christmas cookies, or even a homemade meal as a gift. This is also an inexpensive way to give a gift to a loved one. Baking or cooking can also be a great stress reliever for the gift giver so close to the holiday.
4. Experiences
This one is a little harder to do during COVID, but gifting an experience is always a great way to give a last minute yet amazing gift. While we can’t book concert tickets like we used to, you can still gift an experience like a virtual tour of a museum, or even go somewhere together like on a hike or outdoor experience.
5. Plants
Giving a potted plant or some flowers to your friends or family is a great way to show you care. It’s something that will make them think of you every time they water or prune their new plant.
6. Life Insurance!
Lastly, a great last minute gift is Life Insurance. It’s the perfect way to show someone you care about them deeply. Write it out in a card and call your agent with the details once the holiday is over to get the ball rolling. It’s that easy!
We hope these ideas help you finish your Christmas list. If you have questions on giving Life Insurance as a gift, call our agency for more info at (815) 626-1300.
