Last-Minute Gift Ideas for the Procrastinator In All of Us — blog.etsy.com

Real talk: last-minute holiday shopping is totally unavoidable. Whether you were invited to an impromptu holiday bash or just put off shopping a little too long this year, don’t fret! For holiday shoppers still searching for that perfect present, there’s still time to find special gifts on Etsy. Below are just a few ideas – from ready-to-ship items to printables – to help out the procrastinator in all of us. SHOP WITH FILTERS (LOOKING AT YOU, READY-TO-SHIP) If you have the perfect gift in mind use Etsy’s “Ready to Ship” filter to only shop items available to ship within 1-3 business days. Another way to cut down on shipping time even further is to filter by local shops. Simply enter the state you live in under the “Shop Location” filter to search for gifts made by sellers near you. After all, the closer the seller, the faster your gift can make it under your tree. To shop a curated list of ready-to-ship items, you can also visit our Ready To Ship Editors’ Picks Page! Pro tip: If you need the item to get there even sooner, hit the “Ask a question” button (on the top right corner of the page) to reach out to the seller directly and potentially arrange a faster shipping time. 20k Gold Mixology Cocktail Glasses, Bear Bottle stopper, Crescent Moon Phase Nesting Bowl, Personalized Leather Camera Strap, Raw Opal Ring, Iridescence New York Chelsea Clutch PRINTABLES No time?
