Ideas for Last-Minute Gifts That are Sure to Please

Shopping for last-minute gifts is as easy as going grocery shopping. In fact, at your neighborhood grocery store you can do both. With so many thoughtful, fun and budget-friendly gift ideas (including gift cards for those who are harder to shop for) you can cross off your grocery items and gift list in one convenient shopping trip. Check out these simple gift ideas they’re sure to love.

Gift Ideas for: The Hard to Please
When in doubt, gift cards are a great option! Food Town gift cards allow them to stock up on holiday food favorites and other essentials, for instance. Meanwhile, pre-paid Visa cards or cards for their favorite retailers and restaurants — available through our Gift Card Mall — allow them to treat themselves to something they might not have otherwise indulged in.

Gift Ideas for: The Foodie Aficionado
The foodies in your life will appreciate something to tickle their tastebuds. Add some fun to the mix by centering your gift around a theme such as cheese and crackers, international delights or even fresh fruit and nuts. (After all, our produce section is second to none!) Once you’ve decided on a plan of attack, you can pair all sorts of complementary food and drink items. Wine makes a wonderful addition to any cheese and cracker basket, for instance, while pepperoni, sausage and the like work well, too. Don’t forget our International Spice Stations, which offer all sorts of yummy and unique flavors! You can display items in a woven basket or rustic pail and top things off with a bow. It’s a thoughtful gift that really is good enough to eat! (Looking for other DIY gift basket ideas? Click here!)

Gift Ideas for: The Self-Care Junky
The home and health section of your local grocery store is a great place to find hidden gems for folks who are serious about self-care. Give them the gift of “me time” by putting together a box of scented soaps, lotions, bubble bath and the like. Don’t forget to include a few of their favorite snacks, too, to really elevate the experience. Such gifts help provide a much-needed break from the end-of-year chaos and allow folks to sit back and indulge.
