Great gift options and gift cards from Girlfriend Collective, Brightland, Disney Plus, Kitsch and more.

Unless you're Santa, holiday shopping is no easy feat, especially when you’re in a race against the clock as Christmas — and holiday shipping deadlines — inches closer. If you're someone notorious for squeezing in last-minute gifts, there are plenty of options you can still shop. With Christmas mere days away, many of these fabulous gifts require no shipping time at all.

Perhaps you’re in a frantic search for gift ideas for your co-workers, close family, in-laws, your best mate or even your fuzzy friend. Don't put yourself in a tizzy when you could be spreading holiday cheer. Take a deep breath, because a virtual present like a subscription box that doesn't have to arrive until next month or a gift card to their favorite store will be a crowd favorite this Christmas.

If you’re the type of person who leaves shopping for a Christmas gift until the last minute, these will get to your lucky recipient as soon as you click “send.” No shipping and no wrapping paper? Sounds like a win-win situation to us.

We've curated a selection of last-minute holiday presents ranging from an e-gift card for Walmart and Amazon to a foolproof monthly subscription box that'll reflect your recipient's favorite hobbies to Amazon best-selling gifts that come with two-day shipping. All you have to do is scroll down to see ET's top picks for impressive gifts that you can give in an instant.
