The countdown to Christmas is coming to a close! Officially less than a week away, many of us are scrambling to finish our holiday shopping before the big day. But if the ticking clock wasn’t enough, things like shipping delays and long store lines are adding to the stress of the season.
If you’re hoping to skip the madness altogether, you could always go for an experience gift. Or, another option is to buy a product that's eligible for curbside pickup.
Retailers like Target, Nordstrom, Walmart and more are offering drive-up pickup options for some of the hottest gifts of the season, from Apple AirPods to the season's must-have toys. Many of these spots also offer same-day or next-day pickup, so you can quickly grab a gift and still have time to wrap it up nicely and work on your card.
Here, we rounded up some amazing last-minute holiday gifts that you can buy and then pick up without having to leave your car.
