The Last Minute Gift Guide: 2023 Edition

Whether your winter holiday of choice has already ended or is yet to come, many of us find ourselves in need of a last-minute gift. That’s why we’ve put together our list of last-minute gifts that offer fast shipping options.

If you’re in a pinch for a last-minute gift, Amazon (and their fashion site Shopbop) has ingratiated itself so fully into our infrastructure that it is one of the few retailers that can turn around an order quickly enough for it to end up under the tree. If your local retailers haven’t got what you need and other online retailers can’t guarantee shipping before the big day, here are 6 last-minute gift ideas from Amazon and Shopbop for the lover of quality goods in your life.

Plus One – Lodge: Cast Iron Skillet

I like to give that can last a long, long time, and few things last longer the a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet.

Does your giftee already have a favorite cast iron? Then consider picking up some cast iron accessories like a chainmail scrubber, quality trivets for serving, or a matching cast iron grill press.
