Last-Minute Ideas for Christmas Shoppers in BIRMINGHAM

A conversation among our team recently made us realise that with just over a week to go before Christmas Day, most of us still had people to buy gifts for. So, if you’re in the same situation and need some late/last-minute present inspiration, check out these 15 ideas.


For Her
  • To pamper – a spa day at a local beauty salon.
  • To relax – a luxuriously scented candle (look at Jo Malone if you want to push the boat out).
  • To savour – a chocolate box subscription (Hotel Chocolat is worth a look for the chocolate connoisseur).
  • To de-stress – a shiatsu neck and shoulder massaging machine.
  • To experiment – The Great British Bake Off latest recipe book or maybe Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook.

For Him
  • The tech lover – a 3-in-1 Apple device charging station.
  • The early riser – a sunrise wake-up light alarm clock.
  • The fitness fan – an electric mini-massage tool.
  • The thrill-seeker – an experience day – hundreds of options out there, including driving around a racetrack, sailing, or parachuting.
  • The fan – a personalised video message from a sportsperson or celebrity.

For the Home
As estate agents, no last-minute list from us would be complete without four gifts you can buy for people to use in their homes.
  • A marble desk organiser.
  • A customised house portrait.
  • Personalised coasters.
  • Frame a favourite photo.
