These last-minute gifts are perfect if you didn’t have time to get gifts for your loved ones earlier

Sometimes in life, you get really busy and caught up with work or your life that you just somehow forget to buy the perfect gifts for all of your loved ones.

It’s not that it isn’t important, it just slips your mind. We get it. And we’re not here to nag at you, but rather, save you the embarrassment of telling your loved ones that you bought them gifts at the last minute.

Here are gifts that you can purchase that will look like you’ve planned this gift since weeks ago!

LAIBA

Here’s a gift that you can gift to your loved ones for a jolly good time. Instead of heading out for drinks, bring the cocktails to their house with LAIBA. Curate your own box of cocktails or simply purchase the LAIBA Gift Set. This set comes with eight of their luxurious and unique cocktails packaged in a classy black box. It also comes with a complimentary gift card so you can indicate a message for your recipient. The message will be handwritten on the card, making the gift that much more personal.

There are also other bundles that you can purchase.

One bottle of cocktail costs S$12.50 and you can browse the selection here, while the LAIBA Gift Set costs S$105. LAIBA offers free delivery as long as you order a minimum of six bottles. You can also choose the specific date of delivery at checkout. Otherwise, orders placed after 1pm on weekdays and 11am on weekends will be delivered the next working day.

Adidas

When it’s a last minute gift, you would probably not have any patience to wait for the item to be delivered. After all, it could take days, and if it arrives late, it would make it too obvious that you bought the item late.

Thus, it’s great that shops have this option called Click-and-Collect. This helps to save so much time because it ensures that you don’t encounter a situation where you head down to a store only to find out that the item you want is no longer in stock.

For the gym-enthusiasts, you can consider getting them this black duffel bag with bold webbing tape. This is durable and roomy, so your recipient will definitely be able to fit all of their gym needs – a towel, toiletries, change of clothes and shoes, water bottle – in this bag.

KLOSH Dewdrop Diffuser

We all love the experience of walking into a room and instantly getting a whiff of a good scent, and we’re sure your loved ones would appreciate it too! However, instead of getting them a typical reed diffuser, get them this Dewdrop Diffuser from KLOSH.

Their diffusers come in four different designs – Neat Herbs, Clarity Shell, Bright Orange, and Primm Flower – and they are all inspired by the four seasons of Japan. The diffusers are made with real flowers, so they don’t just smell good, they also look really aesthetic.

WMF

If your loved one is always cooking and eating steak at home, you can purchase this Steak Cutlery set for them! Meat-lovers would know how annoying it can get when a steak knife is not sharp enough to cut through meat properly. You end up exerting a lot of strength just to eat your food, and it becomes instantly unpleasant, even if it the food is delicious.

Thankfully, this 12-piece set by WMF is crafted with their Cromargan 18/10 Stainless Steel, and the steak knives have a specially designed serrated edge so they’ll stay sharp even after using them for prolonged periods of time.

Watch your loved one’s face light up in happiness as they are finally able to cut through thick meat like it’s butter.

This set is available for S$99 and can be purchased conveniently in-stores at Takashimaya, Metro, BHG, Tangs, OG, and Isetan.
