Despite having 364 days each year to research, compare, and thoughtfully choose gifts, many of us still end up in the same familiar situation come December. Christmas is suddenly around the corner, the calendar is working against you, and you are either struggling to land on the perfect gift or realizing you waited just a little too long. Now the clock is ticking, shipping deadlines are closing in, and the pressure is turning what should be a joyful, relaxing holiday into a race against the clock.

If you are one of those impressively organized people who finish holiday shopping weeks in advance, I salute you. For the rest of us — myself very much included — here’s the good news: With a few weeks still left until Christmas, there is more than enough time to order great gifts that will arrive before the big day. So, with the clock ticking until Santa comes to town, here are Nakhra’s picks for the ten best last-minute Christmas gifts that will arrive before the holiday.

Nakhra Picks - Last Minute Christmas Gifts 

‍Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle: $499.00

It feels like eons since the first Nintendo Switch debuted (around 8 years ago). We’ve been patient and it’s finally here. The Nintendo Switch 2  is the long awaited successor and it builds on the original formula and improves upon it. The core idea remains the same: A hybrid console that works as a handheld system as well as a living-room console when docked.

Under the hood, the Switch 2 features a much more powerful custom NVIDIA chipset, enabling smoother performance, faster load times, and modern graphical features. We’re talking sharper visuals on large TVs, more stable frame rates, and backwards compatibility with the original Switch. 

The Chameleon Board Game: $24.99

‍

The new party game on the block, The Chameleon works just as well for casual gamers as it does for those who take their board game nights seriously. The premise? Everyone is given a secret word — except one player, the Chameleon — who must improvise and avoid being exposed. Once the cards have been passed around and the Chameleon has been chosen, the game spans familiar territory like pop culture, food, travel, and everyday topics, making it easy for anyone and everyone to jump in.

The Chameleon is built entirely around social deduction, bluffing, and reading the room rather than memorizing rules. And because every round plays out differently depending on the group, it has strong replay value without risking fatigue.

‍Brava Giulia Italian Gift Box: $67.99

What more could one ask for? It’s Italy in a box: Brava Giulia Italian Gift Box. Curated with classic Italian staples, the box brings together pantry-ready essentials that are both indulgent and practical. What’s best about this gift box is that, rather than novelty items, the focus is on high-quality, everyday essentials sourced from Italian producers.

Inside, you can expect a mix of items from Sicily, Modena, and Trentino, such as extra virgin olive oil, cherry tomato marinara sauce, aged balsamic vinaigrette, and organic pasta. All of these delicious delicacies work well on their own or in most Mediterranean dishes, but if you’re looking to do Italian night the right way, this gift box has everything you could possibly need — well, maybe except the wine.

Amazon Kindle 16 GB (Matcha Green): $109.99 (15% off)

‍

This is another device that has gone through a few iterations and keeps on getting better. The new Amazon Kindle 16 GB, in a smooth, mellow matcha-green color scheme, is made for readers of all kinds, with a design that feels modern while still preserving the rustic experience of reading a book. It keeps the classic Kindle philosophy intact: distraction-free reading.

With 16GB of storage and weeks-long battery life, the new Kindle handles thousands of books without constant charging. The upgraded E Ink display offers crisper text, improved contrast, and a glare-free, paper-like experience, with adjustable front and warm lighting for comfortable reading day or night. 

SOL DE JANEIRO Jet Set Kit: $34

The perfect stocking stuffer, the SOL DE JANEIRO Jet Set Kit, is a travel-sized body-care gift set from Sol de Janeiro, the Brazilian brand known for warm, beach-y scents and indulgent formulas. It includes some of the brand’s best-selling shower and body products, such as a shower gel, Bum Bum Cream, and perfume mist.

Some of the best parts of these products are the ingredients, which feature caffeine-rich guaraná, which helps visibly firm and tighten the skin, and cupuaçu butter, which delivers fast-absorbing hydration.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer: $24.99

‍

This reliable, no-frills skin care essential is designed for daily use. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer, formulated with sensitive skin in mind, focuses on hydration and barrier repair without any unnecessary fragrance or extras. 

What I love most about this one in particular is the lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, making it comfortable for both morning and night routines. It’s dermatologist-recommended and easy to end up in anyone’s permanent routine.

Carhartt Classic Duffel: $74.99

‍

Rugged and sleek, the Carhartt Classic Duffel is made from heavy-duty  polyester with a water-repellent lower panel and reinforced stitching, making it ideal for work, gym sessions, weekend trips, and everything in between. Black for a sleek, urban aesthetic is a great choice, but it’s also available in colors such as their classic Carhartt Brown.

I find this to be an ideal bag for those who need a bag reliable to handle any load while also wanting a bit of style. My work involves traveling to multiple job sites, and this bag has been able to handle tools, dirty boots, and the elements.

‍LEGO Technic Ferrari SF-24 F1: $229.99

LEGO is for all ages – find me a hill and I will happily shout that from the top of it – especially when it comes from one of the brand’s more advanced, enthusiast-focused lines like Technic. The LEGO Technic Ferrari SF-24 F1 is a standout gift for Formula 1 fans, gear heads, and anyone who enjoys hands-on activities

The Technic SF-24 emphasizes mechanical realism, with a detailed V6 engine, functional suspension, steering, and race-accurate aero. It is just as satisfying to “drive” through a few imaginary laps as it is to display as a centerpiece once the build is complete.

‍Papier Daily Wellness Journal Diary: $27.20 (15% off)

‍

‍

Wellness is always trending, and the Papier Daily Wellness Journal Diary is the perfect companion, whether you are a seasoned wellness guru or even getting primed and ready for a fresh new year's resolution. Rather than an open-ended notebook or a blank sheet of paper, it offers a gentle structure that encourages consistency without feeling overwhelming.

I‘ve used the guided prompts for mood, habits, gratitude, and self-check-ins, and it has helped turn my wellness into a daily practice rather than a vague goal. It’s thoughtful, well-organized, and well-suited for anyone looking to slow down and be more present.

‍ASAKUKI Essential Oil Diffuser: $20.99 (16% off)

‍

With a combination of aromatherapy and a subtle humidifying function, the ASAKUKI Essential Oil Diffuser helps improve air quality while gently dispersing the essential oil of your choice (my personal favorite happens to be sandalwood). With multiple mist modes, adjustable LED lighting, and an automatic shut-off for safety, it’s a quality diffuser that can elevate the scent, mood, and overall feel of any room.

Setup is straightforward, and refilling the water tank is quick and mess-free. With its upgraded ultra-quiet fan, the noise level clocks in at just 23 dB – quieter than the sound of gentle breathing – making it ideal for bedrooms, offices, or nighttime use.

* Let’s pause, now. Let's say you have gotten to this point in the roundup and nothing has stuck out for you. I’ve got a hunch that this next one will absolutely be the winning score for you and will make anyone smile once they’ve gotten their hands on it this Christmas morning.

‍Amazon eGift Card: $50.00

This one doesn’t need much of an introduction: the Amazon eGift Card is the equivalent of cold, hard cash that – let’s be honest – you were probably going to spend on Amazon anyway. With amounts ranging from $25 all the way up to  $200, sometimes it’s best to let someone decide for themselves, with no second-guessing involved.
