Last-Minute Gifts to

Keep On-Hand

5 Ideas For Date Night In

It’s that time of year again when you make your list and check it twice. It’s also the season of parties and gift exchanges. Whether you receive an unexpected present from a co-worker or get invited to a last-minute White Elephant exchange, keep an assortment of effortlessly thoughtful gifts on-hand. Pulling the perfect present out of thin air may just become your new party trick with these last-minute gifts ideas from us at Pottery Barn.

WARM UP WITH MUGS

Nothing beats warming up with a mug full of coffee, cocoa or tea. From bold, solid hues to more intricate detailing, a set of mugs is something everyone can use more of. Fill it with a small bag of your favorite cocoa mix or roasted coffee beans for quick and complete gift.

WORRY-FREE GIFTS

Why give them a candle that only lasts for 24 hours when you can give them one that’ll last for hundreds? Flameless flickering candles dance and sway like the real thing without any of the safety concerns. Pair it with a lantern, votive or hurricane for quick and easy present. 

THE FRAME GAME

Whether for a close friend or a gift exchange, a beautiful, neutral frame will find its self at home in anyone’s space. Plus, frames become instantly personal the minute that picture is placed inside. If the gift is for a friend, go that extra mile and put in a picture of you and the recipient. 

EVERGREEN FLOWERS

Fresh flowers pack instant punch of color, but only last for a couple days. Keep your gift recipient’s spaces in bloom year-around with hyper-realistic faux botanicals. Pair smaller faux air plants with glass votives or place bundled blooms in a classic vase. 

GO-TO GIFT CARDS

Some people mark success by having choices, so why not give them the choice of anything they want? Shipped for free or emailed right to your inbox, gift cards are the perfect last-minute gift. Some might say gift cards aren’t personal, but it cuts out the guess-work if the gift recipient is someone you don’t know and lets them select whatever they’d like.
