Not all is lost, do not fear! We’ve done the research to help you find a gift that won’t look last minute. Most of these are going to come in the form of e-vouchers, so you’ll need to have a printer handy in order to get your last minute or same day Christmas present sorted. We’ve got options for both a single person or for a couple or family as well!

So where can you buy the best selection of printable vouchers in time for Christmas?

Red Letter Days

Red Letter Days is one of our favourite retailers for gifts. All vouchers can be emailed or printed immediately. It’s also our favourite because not only can you buy on the same day, but when you checkout you can select the ‘gift’ option. This then allows the recipient to exchange the voucher for another if they wish – but doesn’t show them the prices. If you’re out of time and can’t decide, you can even buy a flexible voucher  which you can immediately print.

They have some of the best gift ideas in a range of price options – from a 3 course lunch at Gordon Ramsay’s Savory Grill for £90, to a flying experience with a Spitfire & Hurricane plane for £499, or take advantage of this 241 offer on a Spa Day for Two for just £55, redeemable at over 30 Bannatyne Health Clubs in the UK.

Best Gift Idea’s Top 3 Picks:

• Medieval jousting experience at £199
• Meal & Top Price Tickets for the Theatre in London at £150 (shows include Stomp, The Play that Goes Wrong, Woman in Black, Thriller, Jersey Boys, The Bodyguard, Wicked & Beautiful)
• 3 course meal for Two at Marco Pierre White’s Steakhouse Co. City for just £60

Buyagift.co.uk

Buyagift.co.uk is also one of our top retailers – loved by ourselves and our readers alike! Buyagift also do a personalised e-voucher which can be emailed right to you and have a 60 day refund policy and free exchanges on all vouchers. Their selection of activities is quite similar to that of Red Letter Days, so you’ll be able to find everything from their Top Christmas Gifts, Gifts for Couples, Spa Deals and more.

They also have a great selection in pricing, so you can find gifts from as low as £10 (a UK-wide Family Photoshoot), or a mid-range £50 (55 minute Swedish Massage) or as luxury as you can go for £299 (A London Helicopter Night Flight for Two)

Best Gift Ideas’ Top 3 Picks:

• Two night break in a Private Camping Pod at Lake Dacre in Yorkshire at just £98
• The View from The Shard + a 3 course Thames Lunch Cruise for Two at just £129
• A 2for1 Luxury Day Spa at the Marriot! Choose from 15 locations and includes a glass of fizzy at just £130

The answer to this is to buy funny gifts. Something semi-practical and entirely entertaining. So here’s our breakdown of funny gifts for millennials this Christmas.

*Note at the time of writing, all gifts are available for next day delivery right up until the 16th December as long as they are ordered by 7pm unless otherwise specified. For more information please double check the retailers websites.

1) Sushi Socks 

Amazing sushi socks for any sushi fan
£8.99 per pair or £39.99 for all 7

As we all know, no Christmas is complete without a pair of novelty socks. And what could be better than a pair of socks with sushi on them? Choose from 7 different designs, including top favourites salmon sushi, tuna sushi, prawn, masuzushi, octopus, red caviar and of course traditional Japanese egg. Each pair rolls up to look like an actual sushi dish and when worn displays the deliciousness of Japanese cuisine at its finest. Especially good for people who have smelly feet as they’ll finally be able to have an excuse!

Each pair is made from soft polycotton and they come in one size fits most (22 – 27cm)

2) Star Wars Themed Light-Up Chopsticks

Choose your allegiance with colours: Yoda Green, Darth Red or Luke Blue
£16.99

Continuing with our Asian theme we have some Light Sabre chopsticks. Officially licensed by Lucas Films, these bad boys are ready to light up at the sight of every hungover Chinese takeaway day. Perfect for people living on their own, or even better as a gift to people living together. Let each meal become a battle to remember.

3) The Ultimate Beard Bib

Bibs come in either white or black (we recommend white as it makes it easier to clean – unless his beard is grey). They also come with a nice little travel pouch for trips over to the parents, girlfriend or for their next business trip.

The tea is caffeine free so is perfect before going to bed. It’s made from soothing Camomile, Passion flower petals, Lemon Balm, Anise, Cinnamon, Orange Pieces, Hops, Roobios and Hops. Highly suggested to drink as is – without milk or sugar.

>This pan is made from die-cast aluminium with a double non-stick coating, meaning cleaning is a total breeze. It’s also dishwasher friendly, meaning it’s even quicker and easier to clean.

These balls are made from water resistant high grade silicon and can be switched off with a (gentle) squeeze. Three light modes allow the red LED inside to run continuously, with a slow flash or with a fast flash. They’re powered by 2 CR2032 batteries which are easily replaceable and the batteries last for approximately 100 hours on solid light mode, or 190 hours whilst flashing. If you think these are too rude – they were fully funded within 3 days on their KickStarter launch – showing the world is ready for a bit of entertainment.

7) Toast Shaped Heated Pillow

Live in denial of ageing with a nose hair trimmer shaped like a Ray Gun
£12.99

As we get older, we find our bodies are starting behaving in ways we don’t expect, even when we still feel like children on the inside. Let your millennial live in denial of ageing by making this rather sad experience of removing unwanted excess nostril hairs a lot more fun. Instead of violently plucking nose hairs and crying in front of the mirror, all the owner needs to do is pull the trigger on this baby to shave away all the shame. It works fantastically on any unwanted ear hair as well – double win!

It comes in red and runs off of a single AA battery (not included).

9) A bottle of Unicorn Tears (more commonly known as Gin Liqueur)
Let the tears of unicorn ignite a drunken evening

This gin liqueur is made from genuine Unicorn tears at a top secret location using free range Unicorn by Firebox. Unicorns are force fed tonnes of citrus fruit, along with juniper berries, boxes of coriander and pieces of licorice. Combined with their brand new emotional harvesting technology, this bittersweet gin experience comes with a dazzling glittery appearance, guaranteed to blow the mind of anyone who consumes it. Simply swirl the bottle before opening to behold its shimmering majesty.

*No unicorns were harmed during the unicorn tear extraction process and the gin produced is even 100% vegan.

10) A hot & cold holdable, customised with any face you’d like!

Stay warmed with your favourite face

£14.99

These wonderful huggable heatable bags can be customised with just about any face you’d like to add. If you’d like to troll someone with a photo of Nicholas Cage, or simply remind them of your existence every time they feel cold, this is the perfect solution. All you need to do is upload a good and clear picture of any face with our friends at Firebox. They’ll then get this printed quickly so it can be sent over to your favourite millennial.

These awesome bags also work as a cold compress – simply put it into the fridge to keep cool.

For heating up, pop into the microwave. Once warmed it’ll stay hot for up to 2 hours.

This list has been cross checked with all the lovely ladies in my life, and each gift has been carefully scrutinised over before making it to the final cut.

These spas are located in Edinburgh, Liphook, Tring, Henlow and Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

2) Relaxation hour massage

Relax with an hours massage – £50

Treat her to a one hour massage in selected UK locations. Massages are all about de-stressing, detoxing and relaxing, and this is certainly what she will get with this voucher.

7) Dinner Cruise on the Thames for two

Enjoy dinner with Big Ben – £156

Having lived in London for five years now and never having actually been on a cruise down the Thames, this is still one of my dreams to fulfil. Step onto the boat and enjoy the glass roof while you sail past historical monuments such as Big Ben, the House of Parliament and the London Eye. You’ll both be treated to a freshly prepared menu, and once dinner is done you can walk around the boat and have a drink at the stern watching the city lights.

This package can be taken at over 100 different launch sites in the UK, so take your pick on what view you’d like to experience best! The day starts off with a safety session with the instructor. Once you’ve done this you can place yourselves into the basket and soar up 3000 feet in the air. Watch beautiful rolling hills and countryside beneath you as you gently glide through the sky. A celebratory glass of champagne will be given to you when you land, and you’ll get a certificate of completion as well for this momentous event.

10) A boutique Escape for two, available in over 60 locations around Britain

Escape the city in style – £169 for two
