Last Updated: 12/18/2023

If you slacked on your Christmas shopping—don’t worry, it happens to the best of us—you’re now in the final stretch to get that holiday hustle shopping in gear. Rather than scramble to find those perfect last-minute Christmas gifts, we have your back and have you covered, especially when giving the most covetable beauty gifts. Dive into the world of our expertly curated list of last-minute gift ideas that will make you the ultimate gifting hero this season.

Quick Tips for Last-Minute Shopping

With the clock ticking, last-minute holiday shopping stress can become overwhelming. Rather than let it get the best of you, follow these quick and easy tips to conquer the chaos and emerge far more victorious than you ever thought, complete with thoughtful last-minute Christmas gifts that will please everyone on your list.

  • Don’t stress out. First and foremost, take a moment to breathe and get yourself together. Panicking about what to buy for who will only make you more confused and anxious. Despite a time crunch, stick to your budget.
  • Make a list. Rather than going into last-minute shopping mode blind, make a list of the recipients you need to purchase gifts for and potential gifts. This will help streamline the process and save time.
  • Stick with versatile products. Beauty products also make a great gift; the more versatile, the better. Think of gift sets and palettes that work for all skin types. Or go for cult classics that everyone loves.
  • Shop online. Stores can be crowded and have limited inventory. Instead, shop online for a variety of gift options. Plus, if you have saved carts in your browser, now is the time to check out. Opt for expedited shipping through sites like Skinstore.com and Amazon to ensure your gifts arrive on time.
