December is almost here more and you haven’t finished your holiday shopping. It’s okay—you’re not alone. Readers, despite my phone reminding me to start shopping every week since July, I myself have not yet started in earnest. Whether you forgot to pick something up or you’ve succumbed to selection paralysis and waited too long, there’s still hope. If you’re in a pinch, each of the gifts below has at least one option that can be delivered in just a few days or picked up in-store, and while they may not be the most personal, we love them. We’ve included things that we think most people will enjoy.
The picks below are our favorites, but we have a separate guide dedicated to it Best digital gifts and subscriptions. Read this for more ideas. If you are okay with shipping delays, check us out Many other gift guides or Buying Guide.
Updated December 2024: We have updated this guide with new options Wired 101 and updated price.
