I don't think gifting should be taken as a small task. It's supposed to be heartfelt, thoughtful, and honestly, bring a smile on the giftee's face. Otherwise, what's even the point? Not to say that last-minute gifts can't be thoughtful, they can if you know the right sources, which is where this list will come in handy. These online stores specialise in curating gifts that are so versatile that you'll be able to find something to gift to someone special in your life, be it your partner, parents, or siblings. Happy gifting!
12 Online Gifting Sites To Make Last-Minute Gifting Super Easy
FlowerAura
Just to get the classic gift out of the way, we're starting off with flowers. But you won't just find run-of-the-mill flowers here, although if you're into timeless bouquets, they've got those options too! You can shop on the basis of price, flower, occasion and even colour. If real flowers aren't your thing, they also have artificial flowers and real plants (including creepers). You can send a simple bouquet or pair it up with a cake, jewellery, home decor knick-knacks or a stuffed toy. We especially love the addition of digital gifts, which include e-cards, game apps and even a serenade on call.

BigSmall
If you're looking for small (and affordable) gifts with a big impact, BigSmall is your best bet! They've got the quirkiest gifts we've ever seen; from a levitating moon lamp to a mermaid tail blanket (side note: we might gift one of these to ourselves), there's nothing conventional about the gifts here. We legit had such a fun time scrolling through their site looking for gifts and we love how oddly specific the categories are, including Unicorn Crazy and Sports Nut. You can only choose from categories like occasion and age, and you'll also find official merch here for your geeky sibling, such as Avengers, Harry Potter, Game Of Thrones, plus more. Home decor, jewellery, bags, accessories, they honestly have it all.
