How to Make Christmas More Sustainable Reading Last Minute Gift Ideas 3 minutes

‘Twas (almost) the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a present was wrapped neither for a child nor spouse…


Many of us are familiar with that sinking feeling – unpurchased Christmas presents. First you’re stuck for ideas, then time is running out, and before you know it, it’s the 22nd December. Well, gather ‘round and let us put right this seasonal conundrum.


When it comes to gifting, searching the high street or scouring the web’s endless possibility can make finding a present decidedly difficult. But thoughtful surprise can be found in the smallest of gestures – literally. Put pause to your scrolling and opt for one of these…


Gift Subscriptions


From Secret Santa and stocking fillers, to that showstopper of a gift, wrap up a present that counts in the form of a gift subscription. Like advent calendars, the choice of subscriptions is vast, and above all, can be tailored to the recipient’s personal interests. Beyond magazines and museums, you can subscribe to almost anything: from monthly beauty boxes and books, to cheese, vinyls, science experiments, and even presents for pet owners (because they deserve treats too!).


A twice-checked recommendation:a waterdrop® Subscription. Wrap up better hydration with our convenient, hassle-free service that delivers our hydration cubes directly to the recipient’s door. Choose from any flavours across our entire portfolio, select a delivery frequency that suits the recipient, and save up to 20% on each subscription order. Plus, enjoy the best that flexibility has to offer: swap flavours, skip a delivery, or pause the subscription at any time. It’s a service that is as unique as the person who receives it.


Gift Cards


The 11th hour? Honestly, it’s not a problem. With a swath of retailers each offering e-gift card options, this Hail Mary not only guarantees delight, but at least lets your giftee choose something they (really) want. Fast and convenient, many brands will send the card instantly to your email address for you to print out and gift. Eyes peeled: many e-gift cards can be personalised at the checkout.


A twice-checked recommendation: a waterdrop® Gift Card. Perfect for loved ones both near and far, a waterdrop® Gift Card can be purchased from just 10€ and be redeemed across our entire online store. Once purchased, you’ll receive the card via email instantly – and yes, you can personalise it too. So, let’s sing those little words: Add. To. Basket!
