Last Minute Gift Ideas For Adults

Year & Day Rectangular Baker.

Year & Day

Being the main cook or baker in the house can become a tedious job.  However, what helps keep that role exciting and fun is great kitchen gear like this Year & Day Rectangular Baker!  It’s as functional as it is gorgeous and you’re going to want it in every gorgeous color.  With curved corners and round handles, this semi-matte glaze Rectangular Baker is equal parts soft and sturdy.  It’s never been easier to bake and serve your favorite classic casseroles and cobblers with ease and elegance.  My favorite part is that it even includes a matching lid!  These set is safe in the dishwasher, freezer, microwave, and oven (up to 480 degrees).  Once you get your first piece from Year & Day, you’ll never want anything less.  They offer the highest-quality table settings and bakeware, designed for the years, days (& dishwasher loads) of modern life.
Ruko Power station R299Ruko Ruko’s R299 power station is an incredible product for anyone to have on-hand! This power station can charge your phone, tablet, laptop or other products that use USB-C, USB-A, car ports, wireless charging or AC outlets. So if your power goes out and you want to use something a little unique – like your blender? You can! It has a built-in SOS flashlightPlus, it recharges in 7 hours with solar panels or 6 hours via cart port or AC outlet. This is a wonderful item to have on-hand for power outages, but it’s also great for camping or various other outdoor activities where you won’t have easy access to home outlets. Level up this gift by also pairing it with Ruko’s solar panels so they can charge it without access to a home or car port! 
dōTERRA Tinted Lip Gloss.

dōTERRA 

I’m a huge fan of dōTERRA essential oils but did you know they have other lines of great products too!?  Their ultra-hydrating Tinted Lip Gloss is the perfect stocking stuffer or surprise to tape on top of a gift!  It’s infused with CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade Japanese Mint, Wild Orange, and Clove essential oils—adds a beautiful ginger color and shine to your lips. Enriched with a blend of natural emollients like jojoba esters and sunflower seed oil, this minty gloss delivers a rich luster, high shine, and dewy moisture.  The vial comes with a doe-tip applicator for smooth, even application every time and stores easily in a makeup bag, purse, or pocket.  Ideal for daily wear or evenings out, this gloss keeps lips smooth and hydrated.
TokyoTreat Subscription box

TokyoTreat 

Food is often a pretty safe gift idea if you’re struggling with what to get someone! TokyoTreat’s subscription boxes include foods, snacks and desserts from Japan! I’ve received a few boxes over the years, and they often include unique flavors of KitKats, some candies or chocolates, and some salty snacks. Many of the packages will not have English on them, so each subscription box comes with a little pamplet with English descriptions of each item in your box so you can learn about what each item is before trying it. I find these to be a fun experience in addition to a yummy treat! You can sign up for just one box or for an ongoing subscription. 
Printique Photo Album.

Printique

Capturing memories by way of a silk or velvet Printique photo album is sure to be a favorite gift this holiday season!  A layflat silk photo album is a beautiful, soft, yet durable keepsake to store all of your most precious memories.  You can spend as little or as much time as you’d like creating, thanks to their easy to use editing system.  At Printique, you can customize the appearance and size of your silk fabric-covered photo album to ensure that it looks and feels exactly the way you always imagined it.  This is one gift that will NEVER be forgotten!

    Is December 6 really last minute?! I guess by the time you order and receive it, it would be. wow. I love the idea of the PCA Skincare as a gift.

  • Anne

    As the clock is ticking down, I find myself with two people left on my gift list with absolutely no ideas as to what they’d like. But thanks to this helpful list, I’m going to head to Ooly’s website to see if I can find something there to spark their creativity. I may also check out TokyoTreat – that would certainly be something different and fun! As always, thanks!

  • Jasmine b

    The baker is a good idea. And I think anyone would like it. You’re right, Ooly stuff is a good pick too, specifically the ones you mentioned.

  • Kristie D.

    Great ideas! I never knew Ooly had so many great products. I also like the Issei Mochi Gummies. They look tasty and I put them on my Amazon wishlist. Thanks for the recommendations.

  • Lauryn R

    These are such fantastic ideas that pretty much everyone would love. I really like Printique because it is a beautiful and very personal gift to give to someone. Ooly has some awesome art stuff as well. I know my kids would love some air-dry clay, and scented gel pens (I still love gel pens as an adult).
