Lightspeed’s holiday hotline for last-minute gifting

Looking for gifts for the ones that are a bit too difficult to impress? Try these. Lightspeed is serving up solutions for the naughty, nice and just plain necessary on your list.  From the babysitter that consistently saves you to the grandparent that still mails gifts, we’ve got gifting options—that say what words can’t.

For the babysitter that comes in clutch

That last minute Zoom meeting. Those bonus concert tickets from a friend. A weekday where a sanity glass of wine might be the only redemption. You can count on the sitter to swoop in as your savior and look after the kiddos. No gift is too large, no gesture too kind for the emergency child care giver.

We recommend a soundtrack of their choice: Play De Record - Gift Card

For the sibling-in-law you’re not 100% sure likes you

Is that a chill in the air or is it just your in-law giving you the cold shoulder? For the in-law that truly operates as an out-law when it comes to etiquette, may we suggest a gorgeous plant?

We recommend extending an olive branch (or any branch): Spring Flowers

For your neighbourhood barista bestie

They’ve perfected your brew and early morning banter. Providing caffeine for those days when energy is low, and a sweet pup-cup for your furry companion—your local coffee crew deserves some holiday cheer.

We recommend a cap that’s the style equivalent of an espresso: Buck’s Hard Goods 

For the grandparent that still sends cash in cards

Bill. Student loan. Pizza flyer. Some type of last warning you might want to open. And then you spot it—deep at the bottom of your mailbox. That unmistakable cursive writing. Like a warm fuzzy beam straight to your heart, it’s snail mail from your grandparent. Just thick enough that you know there’s a crisp “treat yourself” $20 in there.

We recommend an IRL experience to make some memories together: Lighthouse Immersive

For your precious fur babies

Jelly-bean paws, a snoot worth booping and an unwavering gaze that demands daily cheese tax. Your fur child is at the top of your buying list. They may not have an advent calendar or, really, any awareness of it being the holidays, but that won’t stop you from spoiling them silly.

We recommend an upgrade to their seasonal fit: The Dog Bowl
