Great Last Minute Gifts Only You Will Give.
Great Last Minute Gifts
Looking for great last minute gifts that only you will give your friends and family? Consider gifting a memento of shared experiences.
Sculptured Art
My husband and I often travel east to Philadelphia area to see our good friends, Mitch and Laurie. Mitch’s brother is a pretty big deal in the world of casting. (His casting company found the talent for the The Wiz Live shown on NBC recently.) We often are fortunate get good tickets to see Broadway plays that his company has casted. Last September, we were fortunate to see “The King and I” at the Lincoln Center in Tribeca.
Afterwards, our group made our way to The Rosa Mexicano Restaurant. As we entered the bar area, the towering display of individually sculptured wall divers took my breath away. Imagine my thrill, when I found a 10.5″ x 9″ replica of the divers by Global Views. I can give a gift that won’t be duplicated as a memento of that dining experience. This 10.5″ x 9″ piece of replica piece is going to be a hit.
Home Grown Gift
Are you a gardener? Full disclosure, my attempts at growing anything from a bulb is usually an epic fail. Talented designer and gardener, Ivan E. DeGonzalez, photographed the progress of his Red Amaryllis from bulb to bloom. I’d have been too happy to receive bulbs that had been given a good start or even in the final beautiful blooming stages for my birthday!
The Gift of Service
Coupons to walk a friend or relative’s dog lets you sample the real dirty work of owning a dog while gifting. How about putting together a week of healthy menus and recipes for a friend who has little time to plan? Organize a week or month of menus and recipes in a beautifully designed binder with set of mixing spoons and a beautiful plate from a resale store or estate sale. Free babysitting coupons never get turned down by grateful parents.
Interior Design Consultation
Another great last minute gift is one of an interior design consultation from Mary Etta Designs for a loved one who is downsizing, moving or getting married. Design consultations help save time, money and overwhelm when there’s help from a professional interior decorator. Contact me here if you want to give a consultation as a gift of service for Christmas or any other occasion.
There you have it! Three unique and great last minute gifts to give that won’t be duplicated. Art or sculpture reminiscent of shared experiences, a flower or plant that you personally have grown, and the gift of service.
Happy Holidays and May the New Year bring you Joy!
