Christmas is just around the corner! If you’re like me, there are still a few names to cross off your Christmas gift list, but don’t fret! I’m sharing 10 of my favorite Great Last Minute Gift Ideas to help find the perfect present!
This post is sponsored by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. All opinions are 100% my own.
The holidays are always hectic at my house. Between work, school finishing up, and family getting into town, it can be hard to find time to get all the Christmas shopping done. I try to stay ahead of the game, but there are inevitably a few last minute gift needs that come up every year. Thankfully Cracker Barrel has some great last minute gift ideas to help save the day!
My husband and I love Cracker Barrel stores. We used to go in for lunch back when we lived in Arizona. Now that we’ve moved to Portland, I still find my favorite Cracker Barrel items online, and with their shop selection, I know I’ll always find great holiday gifts my friends & family will love. Cracker Barrels stores are located along many of the major freeways all over the country. If you’re road tripping for Christmas with the family, be sure to pull over to get some breakfast, lunch, or dinner and do some last minute shopping at the store!
Gifts For Him
My husband is surprisingly easy to shop for, thank goodness, but I still like to get him something he didn’t ask for each year to surprise him. These are a couple of my favorite gift ideas for him.
I don’t know a guy around (big or little) that doesn’t want a drone for Christmas. This Quadrone Remote Control Drone can do all the cool tricks he wants with its 360-degree flips and ability to fly up to 100 feet! He’ll be playing with this toy for hours, so be sure to buy plenty of batteries!
Even in the winter, we spend a fair amount of time grilling. There’s something so delicious about foods cooked over an open flame. The grill master in your life will love this Butcher Shoppe BBQ Gift Set, complete with a pork cuts ceramic serving tray, a bottle of hot sauce, a Southwest spice rub, a spice shaker, and tongs!

I love finding gifts that let my boys have fun and invoke some of my favorite childhood memories. These toys are sure-fire hits for the little guy in your life!

Host/Hostess Gift Ideas
With holiday parties dotting our December calendar, I like to make sure a have a few great host/hostess gifts on hand. This gift is one that can be enjoyed year-round and will remind your giftee of your friendship for years to come.

You’ve worked hard to make the holidays special for the ones you love. While it’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle, don’t forget to treat yourself too. Even if it’s something little, you deserve to feel special!
I’m not going to lie, getting a new piece of jewelry to wear during the holidays is one of my favorite ways to pamper myself. These Silver Glitter Bangle Bracelets are gorgeous!
