Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, December 25th holds special significance this year. As the date creeps closer and closer (only nine days to go!), you may find yourself in need of last-minute presents. Don’t worry! We’ve got a list of ideas that will arrive just in time.

For our final gift guide, here are our top picks for last-minute presents!

1. Williams Sonoma Treat Box

’Tis the season for sweet surprises! We love the various options from Williams Sonoma. You can’t go wrong with The Original Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark. The Three-Layer Hot Chocolate Cake is the perfect present for your holiday dinner host. For loved ones who celebrate Hanukkah, consider the Assorted Hanukkah Cookie Tin or the Personalized Hanukkah Gingerbread House. To ensure your gift arrives in time, place your order by Thursday, December 19th at 6 a.m. PT. If needed, you can opt for Next Day Delivery as late as Sunday, December 22nd at 11 p.m. PT.

2. La Jolie Muse Candle

We love these beautiful La Jolie Muse candles! In fact, we love them so much that one of our team members gifted one in our Secret Santa gift exchange. If the Sahara Ambre scent isn’t for you, there are eight other options to choose from. Fortunately, with Prime, you can enjoy free two-day shipping.

3. Potted Plant

For the recipient of your gift lives nearby, grab a beautiful plant from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods! A mini rosemary tree or poinsettia plant feels especially festive, while an orchid is a more classic choice. If you can’t hand deliver it, grab this Golden Pothos plant on Amazon.There’s something extra special about a present that lasts long after the holiday season comes to a close.

4. La Chatelaine Hand Cream Trio Tin

Who wouldn’t be grateful for these luxury hand creams from the family-owned brand La Chatelaine? Blended with 20 percent organic shea butter, vitamin E, and organ oil, they deep moisturize, nourish, and protect the skin.  In gardenia, orange blossom, and oud rose, there’s a scent for everyone. The best part? They come beautifully wrapped in a reusable tin!

5. Angel Tree Gift or Donation

For the person who has everything, why not give a gift to someone else in their honor? It’s such a thoughtful gesture — and it can even be done at the very last minute! At Carlisle & Co., we are excited to give to a local Angel Tree this holiday season. If you feel inspired to sign-up, please do!

6. NEST Reed Diffuser

We’re big fans of the reed diffusers from NEST too. The holiday scent is perfect for this cozy time of year. It fills the room with an inviting blend of pomegranate, mandarin orange, cloves, pine, and cinnamon with a touch of vanilla and amber too. The diffuser releases the scent for approximately 90 days, carrying the receiver into the new year. 

7. Coffee Table Book

We’re always in the mood for a new coffee table book! Forever Beautiful: All American Style All Year Long celebrates a full year of interiors styled by A-List designer and tastemaker Mark D. Sides. With a keen eye for colors, patterns, and textures, Sikes inspires the reader with a house for every month — including April’s French Chateau-style home outside of Chicago, August’s pink sands home in Bermuda, and December’s Swiss-style chalet in Sun Valley, Idaho.
