As a self proclaimed procrastinator, there are few times I can say that I did not scramble to source incredible Christmas presents fast. As I’m sure plenty of us can relate, the Christmas rush creeps up on us and without even realising it, Christmas day is here.

Which is why, I’m taking a realistic stand as a shopping expert and delivering my top choice of last-minute presents that are not only delivered in a quick manner, but are also from independent retailers and designers, who are true masters of their craft.

Investing in personalised, handmade and ethically sourced gifts is a great way to gift this holiday season; and with Etsy, this has never been easier. Known to be a reliable online marketplace that connects buyers and sellers through multiple categories, it features plenty of newly crafted and second hand pieces, no matter the occasion or recipient.

Keeping in line with this season’s biggest trends, Etsy has released their latest gifting holiday guide. A curated document that analyses its biggest gifting trends across their searches and successful products. From modern heirlooms rising +181%, to chrome homeware topping the list with a rise of +3,756%. It’s no surprise the online marketplace is at the forefront of quick yet high-quality presents that have saved me more than once, and I guarantee your experience will be the same.

If you don't have time to scroll, I have scoured the site for their chicest options that not only offer quick delivery options (just one to three days) but are bound to make any loved one incredibly happy this Christmas. You’re welcome.
