Imagine this: It's Christmas Eve, and you're all set for the big day—gifts wrapped, dinner prepped, and the twinkling outdoor lights finally in place. But suddenly, that sinking feeling hits. You've forgotten someone.
We've all had those moments: unexpected guests, forgotten gifts, or the last-minute additions that catch us off guard. It's time to act fast.
The solution? Digital gifts. No waiting for deliveries or scrambling for wrapping supplies. No guilt over overlooked presents. Simply send an eGift card straight to your email or theirs. It's instant, hassle-free, and ensures no one gets left out. And the best part? You can savour that mince pie without worrying. Christmas is saved, and you're still on the nice list for another year!
Here are some of our favourite instant gifts for every kind of person in your life.
In a world where everyone seems to have everything, shopping for loved ones can be hard at the best of times. Gifting an experience allows your recipient to try something that they’ve never done before, and have precious memories for years to come. From the thrill seekers to the quiet ones, there’s an experience to suit everyone.
Are they brave enough to come face-to-face with sharks in a unique cage diving experience in Durban? If not, you can test their limits, and their nerves, with a tandem skydive that will give them the best views of their life and an exhilarating ride.
Maybe a spa day in Cape Town is more their speed, or a relaxing getaway in Franschhoek for those who like to take it easy. A little less bite and a little more bliss.
If you’re really stuck for what they might like, you can never go wrong with a gift voucher. Allow them to choose their own experience, from afternoon tea to paragliding, and you’re set.
Always glued to their games console? A safe bet is always going to be a voucher for their Xbox or PlayStation. A digital gift card like this is a quick and easy way to bring the Christmas cheer to any gamer in your life, without the stress of trying to choose a specific game you think they might like.
Choose your amount, and then your recipient is free to browse the Microsoft or PlayStation store to choose a new game, movie, or even in-game credit for that one game they just can’t get enough of.
Some people are just style icons. They always seem to be dressed immaculately, accessorised perfectly, and have a wardrobe filled to the brim with just about every colour, pattern, and fabric.
Fashion is just their thing, and you know it. But when it comes to gifting, there is nothing more stressful than trying to choose clothes for someone else. Do they like this store? Is this their style? What if I get the wrong size?
Banish all those worries with an eGift card. Zara is always a great pick, as they have something to suit all ages and styles, with a variety of sizes on offer.
Their broad range covers men, women, and kids, and has everything from the neutral workwear basics to the loud, proud, and partying. Picking up a Zara voucher is sure to be a winner this Christmas.
Give the gift of music, comedy, sports, and theatre with a Ticketmaster eGift. With new events added to their website every day, it’s easy to find an event that anyone will enjoy. Create unforgettable memories for someone special, giving them the chance to sing along to all their favourite songs, laugh until their stomach hurts, or cheer for their favourite sports team.
Clinique is a long-standing, iconic beauty brand that never fails. Tried and trusted, everyone can get behind this science-backed company for their revolutionary makeup and firm skincare favourites.
But sometimes it’s best to choose your own skincare and makeup – after all, you know your skin best. That’s what makes a Clinique digital voucher a great gift option for any beauty enthusiast, from the experimental type who loves to try every skincare product out there, to the creature of habit who has been using the same foundation for 20 years.
Let them choose the lipstick shade of their dreams, or their new signature fragrance that will always remind them of you.
Any stationery-lover’s dream, Cotton:On are known for their cute and quirky notebooks, accessories, homeware, fashion, and all the rest.
These Cotton:On instant gift cards can be emailed to you or directly to the lucky recipient, so they can have fun choosing between all the jumpers, mugs, pencil cases, wall art, candles, bags, and the million other things that you could fall in love with on their website. Variety is the spice of life, after all!
We hope that you found the perfect last-minute gift, or even got some inspiration for future gift-giving.
