#22 A Bottle Of Champagne
If they're drinkers, a nice bottle of Champagne. New Year's is right around the corner, and that way they'll have a nice bottle of bubbly to enjoy their night with.

#23 A Brain Teaser Puzzle
I might be a bit biased, but those mind teaser puzzles where you try to get the loop out of the contraption.

#25 A Massage Voucher
Massage voucher. Most adults don't really need physical things. The ones who do either buy it themselves (if they can afford it, ofc) or they would ask for it, which would make the gift not so much a last minute one.

#26 Custom Coasters
I made custom coasters one year for my entire family.
Step 1- Go to Home Depot get free floor samples(already perfect coaster size)
Step 2- Use a wood-burning tool to put initials into them.
Step 3- Give as a gift.
I did this several years ago and whenever I visit I still see the coasters out.
About 2 hours of burning and $0 spent and I had a heartfelt gift for everyone.

#27 A Shop-Vac
Shop vac. Eminently practical and it sucks having to buy one for yourself. The giftee will laugh and then you’ll get a text or a call like a month after saying it’s the best thing they’ve ever gotten

#28 A Shopping Spree
Depends on person.
My wife never complains about jewelry. Also one time I couldn’t think of what to get her. I let her have a shopping spree at a make up store she likes.
She only wanted 3 things. It costed 85$ and they were on sale so tread carefully on that land mine idea.

#29 A Sword
Sword. Imagine showing up to Christmas Day gift swap with a badass cleaver or katana. Plus, they aren’t marked up this time of the year.

#30 Scented Candles
For me, Scented Candles.
Can never have enough, and even if you give me the same smell twice, now I have an excuse to burn through them.
