Spending weeks upon weeks hunting for the perfect gift for your mom, partner or teenage kids is all well and good – until you check the calendar and find yourself empty-handed and out of time. That’s OK – not every unforgettable gift needs to be custom-ordered in August. In fact, you still have plenty of enticing options, even for a gift that’s getting unwrapped tonight.

From subscriptions and digital gifts that you can order from your phone in minutes, to stores that offer delivery in hours, modern technology offers plenty of escape hatches for last-minute gifters. We’ve rounded up our favorites to find the right fit for anyone on your list.
