Christmas is almost here! If you are scrambling for some last minute gift ideas, I’ve got some suggestions for you that won’t break the bank!

I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

last minute gift ideas including monopoly Target edition

One of my favorite go-to ideas are board games, and especially the Monopoly Target Edition currently priced at $14.99! This is such a fun version with super cute tokens. The best part is that it is a great gift for a wide age variety, or to gift to an entire family! Plus, if you are looking for a toy donation item, this would be an awesome idea!

Homemade gifts are also terrific ideas, especially for neighbors, teachers, or family friends. SheSaved has the how-to on making this pretty (and easy) Homemade Simmering Potpourri Jar.

Five Below is a great place to shop if you are on a tight budget. They have LOTS of toys, including squishmallows and other stocking stuffers at terrific prices! They also have quite a few craft kits and sets with prices starting at $1!

The Nutella mini jars are great for stocking stuffers for all ages, and these teeny tiny vending machines are so fun!

Another great idea is a gift card to Dave & Buster’s or The Main Event! It’s a great gift to give to a family, teens, tweens or even newlyweds! Right now, you can score a $20 arcade card for $12!

Stanley tumblers are all the rage, and there are lots to choose from on the Stanley site. If you are wanting to gift one for Christmas, Target carries quite a few, including a new style in stores!

last minute gift ideas including Target Deal of the Day

Target Deals of the Day continue thru December 23rd, and we have some great ones coming! December 20th is Buy One Get One FREE Starbucks beverages, so you could grab a second drink as a little thank you for a co-worker! We have a few more nice ones coming, and these deals are a great way to grab gifts at a discount!

Last minute gift ideas on lots of magazine titles

Magazines make for great gifts, and at Discount Mags there are so many deals!

Thru 12/20 – Save on magazines for any foodie you know – Taste of Home, Food Network, Cook’s Illustrated and More!

On 12/20 & 12/21 save on lots of Kids magazines including Zoobooks, Ranger Rick, Sports Illustrated Kids and more titles!

On 12/22 thru 12/26, save on TONS of titles including Us Weekly, Reader’s Digest, & Sports Illustrated. Even better, Discount Mags will let the recipient know their gift is on the way. Magazines are a gift that lasts for months!

Or, if you have a bit more money to spend and want to impress someone who loves to cook, consider Hexclad pans. While they may not arrive for Christmas, these pans are simply amazing, and they are on a limited time sale! I received several as a gift, and to be honest, I got pretty choked up when they showed up on my doorstep. You can read more about these incredible pans on this post.

I hope these last minute gift ideas are helpful! Also keep in mind that the best gift of all can sometimes just be your time – especially for home bound and elderly folks!

FREE Thanksgiving Essentials Ibotta Offers

If you have and use the ibotta app, check for super nice offers for FREE Thanksgiving essentials at select stores! (NOTE: Target is not included, but Walmart is). These offers are only available while supplies last, but right now I have some very nice ones for Birds Eye Vegetables, Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup, Idahoan Family Size Mashed Potatoes, Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and more!

Even better, when you share your referral code and get one new sign up, you can unlock an offer for $15 cash back on any turkey! Just note that the new sign up will most likely need to redeem an ibotta offer for you to get the $15 cash back turkey offer.

If you are shopping in-store, you will need to add the items to your list and I highly recommend uploading your receipt asap as some of these offers may disappear. OR, if you are a Walmart shopper and use grocery pickup or delivery, you can link your online account with ibotta before shopping. Then, add the offers to your list, shop online, and your cash back will automatically be credited to your ibotta account.

There is a limit of one of each offer, and they are only available while supplies last. I’ve had comments from some readers saying specific FREE Thanksgiving Essentials ibotta offers were no longer available to them, however, they were still in my app at the time of this post. Need someone to use your referral link? Just leave a comment here or on our Facebook post!
