As prepared as we try to be, there are times in life when important events sneak up. It happens to everyone at one time or another. It’s a frustrating occurrence and is especially disheartening when it’s a loved one’s special occasion that has slipped your mind.
Fortunately, you don’t have to slip off to the corner store to try to scrounge up something appropriate. There are plenty of online gifts that can be delivered the same day you order. Now you can look as organized as your annoying neighbor down the street who always brags in September that she all her Christmas shopping done. Here are a few of our top picks for same day delivery gifts.
Cookies by Design
Who in their right mind wouldn’t love to find a batch of cookies on their doorstep? Okay, it’s a little creepy if you don’t know who they’re from, but if they’re a gift from a loved one they’re sure to be a hit. Cookies By Design offers up a variety of cheerful (and delicious) baskets to tempt your special someone. Their cookies come in a wide variety of themes, so you’re sure to find something to suit the occasion. Same day delivery is only offered in certain parts of the country, but they have an online form so you can check the availability in your area.
Godiva
If cookies aren’t quite their thing, there is always chocolate and Godiva has plenty of it available with the option of same day delivery. They offer a wide selection of fine Belgian chocolate that’s hard to resist. You can choose something delectably sinful and have it delivered to your loved one and, while you’re browsing, maybe even order something up for yourself.
Gyft
Some people are pro-gift card and others are completely against gift card giving. If you’re all for it, you probably like the ease of giving gift cards. In which case, you’ll absolutely love Gyft. They’ve made the gift card giving process even easier (if you can imagine). On the site you can buy gift cards from all your favorite retailers all in one spot and have them sent electronically to your recipient.
Zeel
A massage may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re looking for a last-minute gift to give, but maybe it should be. With the Zeel app you can order up a massage for someone and have them receive it in their own home that same day (if you choose). You get to select the type of massage and specify the date and time and they do the rest of the work. All of their professional massage therapists are background checked, so you don’t have to worry that you’re sending a creepy gift.
Drizly
Never show up anywhere without a bottle in hand to gift the host? Drizly will save you from having to swing by the store on the way. Within an hour of ordering, Drizly delivers the alcohol of your choice to your specified address. The service isn’t available everywhere, but they’re in quite a few markets so be sure to have a browse.
