It's the 23rd of December and you've just realised you don't actually have anything for her — not something proper, anyway. That low-level dread has been sitting with you for days, and now it's properly urgent.
The good news is that last-minute doesn't have to mean thoughtless. Some of the most well-received gifts are the ones chosen quickly but honestly — picked because they suit her, not because there was time to overthink them. She doesn't need to know when you ordered it. She just needs to feel like you know her. This guide is full of things that will do exactly that.
