You made a list, you checked it twice, and still forgot several friends and relatives. It’s too late for deliveries to make it in time, and braving a shopping centre right now feels like a step too far. Enter our last-minute Christmas gift guide.
Filled with experiences, subscriptions, digital products and more, Guardian Australia’s lifestyle and culture teams have scoured the online aisles to find gifts you can buy on Christmas morning, that will still arrive on time. We’ve only included vouchers that cover the full cost of a present and won’t leave your recipient with $2 in-store credit to spare.
How to use this gift guide
What do you want? You can search by gift category: something pretty for objects to have and to hold; something doable for books, crafts and activities to occupy hands and minds; something edible for things to snack and sip; something wearable for beauty, style and fashion products; and something educational for teachable moments, thrilling reads and great listens.
Who is it for? You can sort by the five personality types of Christmas: someone fun, someone classy, someone grumpy, someone geeky and someone adventurous.
When you spot something you like tap on the plus icon for more details, then hit “buy online” to go to the product’s website.
