Procrastinators, this is for you. There’s no need to scramble for second-tier gifts or snag gift cards when you’re at the grocery store checkout line. Let everyone who’s finished their lists bask in their gloating, er…glory. We’ve got good news: You’re not relegated to giving subpar gifts, because many stores are guaranteeing on-time delivery as long as you act fast! And we’ve got you covered with great picks that will arrive in time for your Christmas celebrations.
Macy’s
The storied department store is guaranteeing delivery before Christmas for all orders placed before December 20. Choose express shipping at checkout and then breathe a sigh of relief. And if you are out and about at the mall — perhaps in L.A. checking out the newly remodeled Macy’s at Westfield Century City? — you can order online and pick up in-store, making for effortless holiday errands.
Our picks: The store’s under-$25 selection is pretty sweet. We’ve got our eye on these hooded pajamas and this faux-fur bomber.
Cubcoats
We are in love with SoCal’s very own Cubcoats : Crazy cute 2-in-one stuffed animal hoodie hybrids, which are cozy enough to snuggle up with at home and portable for day trips when they’re transformed into super-cute hoodies. Cubcoats assures that all orders placed before midnight tonight will arrive just in time to make a wee one ecstatic! Use code HOLIDAY20 for an extra 20% off and bask in your new status as Best Gift-giver Ever!
Our pick: Flynn the fox, a wily and adorable addition to any toy collection and wardrobe.
Carrie Cramer Fine Jewelry
Pet lovers rejoice: L.A. jewelry designer Carrie Cramer , known for her pet silhouette fine jewelry, has a whole pack of pups ready to be shipped to a special someone who wants to wear a likeness of their beloved pooch close to their heart. And the new mini doggies are just the thing to add a touch of sparkle to the holidays. Choose a breed that matches your pal’s real-life fur baby for an extra-sweet sentiment, but don’t be afraid to go wild. Who can resist a gleaming dachshund?
Our pick: Any of Cramer’s minis, which include a glam diamond collar.
Violet Grey
Order by midnight and L.A.’s Violet Grey will do the rest. No beauty obsessive will mind a package from the luxe boutique, which chooses only the best of the best to grace its shelves. Spend $200 — which isn’t hard, let’s be honest — and you’ll get a special SOS skin set, which includes skin-saving samples from Erno Lazlo, 111Skin, and Révive. It’s the perfect thing to de-stress after you’ve panicked about this whole shopping thing.
Our pick: Violet Grey’s Joya candle collab has three scents you won’t find anywhere else.
