Last-Minute Gifts: Holiday Guide and Round-up

*This is NOT a sponsored post, however, I did receive some products for reviews or as gifts. All honest opinions are my own. My Amazon Affiliate links are also included.

Last-minute gifts

Are you done with all of your Christmas shopping? Yeah. Me neither. Well, that’s OK. I have plenty of last-minute gifts for everyone on your list.

I think I’m still in denial that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. However, there are quite a few mom’s who are more than ready. I belong to an awesome group called the Mom Blog Tribe, and I’ve rounded up some great gift guides for you.

 

So, between my last-minute gifts and the round-up posts, you will be ready for Christmas! And I will be too…I just need to keep reminding myself that!

How can these be last-minute gifts?

That’s simple. I’ve included all of my Amazon affiliate links for you, so simply click on the picture, order through Amazon, and it will be delivered to your door. I will receive a small commission if you purchase through my link at no additional cost to you.

If you have Amazon Prime, you know that you can get your gift within a day or two….so you won’t be wrapping all those last-minute gifts on Christmas Eve. If not, now is the perfect time to sign up.

Amazon Prime is actually a great gift in and of itself.  Just click below and send it to that person that hard to buy for person.

Gifts for the Kiddos

I don’t know about your kids, but mine do NOT need any more toys. Obviously, they will still get toys for Christmas…unless my husband follows through on his plans to cancel it. Let’s just say we’re still having “behavior” issues.

So, I’ve included some non-toy gifts your kids will still love.

First, we have these super soft, extremely cute Three Bags Full merino wool tops. They are made in New Zealand, and they are beautiful. The boys loved the pictures on them, and I loved how well-made they were. I also loved the quality of the fabric.

Just click below to order from Three Bags Full.

Books are one of my favorite things for the boys to get as presents. They snuggle around me, are quiet, and actually listen to me. This is the only time this ever happens.

The Little Men and Little Miss books remind me of my childhood. They are pretty silly, but the pictures are so cute, and my boys just love all the stories. I’ve included a collection of the Mr. Men and one with the Little Misses because there are over 83 individual books! These will give you a great start. Plus, I’ve included their Guide to Life because who doesn’t need to learn how to be happy from Mr. Happy himself?! Plus, Little Miss Twins. Because, Twins.
           

Gifts for the Sports Fans

No matter if you’re watching high school football, the Green Bay Packers, or my twins play t-ball, you want to be comfortable when you watch. That’s where the BenchEssential comes in. It’s a bench pad that has been designed to fit bleachers, picnic table benches, and other hard surfaces when you’re at an event.

It’s compact, easy to carry, and lightweight, yet it makes those hard, cold bleachers way more comfortable. Plus, it can fit up to 4 adults!

Here’s a picture of Mr. B demonstrating.

And modeling showing you how easy it is to transport:

They are not yet available on Amazon, but you can order them directly from their website HERE.

If you’ve got a bunch of stuff to haul with you to your event (or to the zoo, park, around the block,) I’ve also included a link for our wagon. Not specifically for sports events, but it can definitely be used for them. It is seriously the best purchase we have made. It can haul all three kids, plus their snacks, blankets, and toys. PLUS, it collapses! Genius. I get asked where I got it every time we are out.

And the Fitbit. Because I can’t be the only person left on the planet without one yet. Can I?

Gifts for the Health Nut

Essential oils are all the rage right now. Not only do they smell great, but they provide health benefits like stress-reduction and immune support. We’ve been using our essential oil diffuser for over a year now. In fact, I included it in my stocking stuffer gift guide last year.

I’ve provided the one we have, plus a little snazzier version. I also included a link for a starter set of oils.

 

Gifts for the Binge Watcher

I’m a huge TV fan. I think I was a binge watcher before I even knew what that meant. I have watched the entire seasons of all the shows I’ve included. Some even more than once. So, in order to narrow down my choices, I picked my three favorite actresses.

First, Homeland. It’s full of action, drama, suspense, and Claire Danes. Even my husband was hooked on this show. Season 6 premieres soon, so binge now.

If you like Claire Danes, here’s a little throwback show filled with tons of teen angst, more drama, and Jordan Catalano. Mmmmm. The only bad thing about this show is that there is only one season.

Next, we have the fast talking, coffee drinking Gilmore Girls. If you haven’t seen the originals, you have to check them out before binging the latest episodes on Netflix. I love me some Lauren Graham.

She was also amazing in this all-star cast show called Parenthood. You may have heard of it, or may even have seen the movie it was based on with Keanu Reeves Steve Martin. You will laugh, you will cry, and maybe cry some more. I’ve included the link to the movie too, so you can laugh again.
                                     

My last, but definitely not least, favorite actress is Kristen Bell. Not only was the entire series of Veronica Mars awesome, but they then made a movie (funded by the fans!) to give everyone some closure. I’ve included both for you.

                        

In a completely different role…way, way out of high school…Kristen Bell joins Don Cheadle in this crazy dramedy about the world of high-end consulting. Not for the kiddos AT ALL.

Gifts for the Disney Fan

My boys love Disney. They love watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, movies like Wreck-It Ralph and Inside Out, and also Disney books. We haven’t made it to Disney yet, however, I hope we can go in a year or two. I want them all to remember it, so we’re waiting until they are a little older. And more well-behaved.

If you’re planning a trip, or even if you’ve already been, An Educational Guide to Walt Disney World is perfect. Not only can you have fun at Disney, but you can learn while you’re there. That way there is absolutely no guilt when you’re pulling your kids out of school for a week.

My good friend Becky from Disney In Your Day wrote this book, and it’s amazing. I highly recommend it!

I also love this print for the Disney family.

And even though we do not own this, I saw it in a store the other day, and thought it was adorable. Why not have something cute to look at in the kitchen?!
