Lightspeed’s holiday picks for procrastinators

The holiday countdown is on and the clock is ticking. But you’re a legend of the last-minute shop. And why break your procrastination streak now? Whatever your personal reasons for giving yourself so little time to shop—and so much time to spiral—we’re not here to judge, we’re here to help. Here are some quick ideas worth unwrapping.

For the brother who loves to nerd out

There’s no better time for some friendly competition than the holidays, and what better way than to introduce a game into the mix? We’re big fans of the Swag Sisters, and Codenames is a perfect choice for some silliness and memory-making. Find a game that plays to your family’s strengths, jazz-hands away from any building frictions and become the holiday hero of 2024.

For the niece or nephew who considers their dog their BFF

A listening ear is priceless. Two floofy listening ears? Well, that’s a best friend. Spoiling your unofficial, very official niece or nephew’s furchild is the fastest way to become their fave aunt or uncle. A pupper-bed from Dog Father and Co makes a style statement and keeps them in cozy mode.

For the “soon-to-be” significant other

Choosing an album for someone is not for the faint of heart. But like with the beloved mixtape of yore, with great risk comes great reward. Take your almost-sweetheart on a journey by selecting the soundtrack to your heart. From Prince to Pantera, the right disc from Play De Record can speak the words that you cannot.

For the friend whose hot wheels are two-wheels

We all know at least one of them: the fearless road warriors who defy the seasons with their commitment to cycling year-round. We recommend giving them a hand or two. These incredible Thermo Rain Gloves from La Bicicletta are functional fashion that will extend some warm fuzzies to your brave biker.

For the sister-in-law who spills the tea

Jewelry, like perfume, is a gift that really makes you feel like you’re being spoiled. But while trying to find the perfect scent for someone can be a stab in the dark, choosing accessories is less so. A personalized initial necklace, like one from Corktown Designs is an understated layering piece, while classic silver hoops, such as these beauties from Vert, make a timeless addition to any jewelry rotation.
