Disclosure: I received these products to facilitate this last minute gift post. All opinions are my own.
We have all done it. It is getting down to the last couple of shopping days left and we start to get concerned over the possibility of getting everything done. We know there are at least a gift or two left to buy and we need something a little different then we normally get but we can not manage to get any good ideas.
This year I did actually find a few great last minute gift ideas that have low cost, but are sure to please.

Lots of Irish fairies from Fairy Valley have taken up residence in many Canadian homes. They’re surprising homeowners and their children from all over Canada. The fairies have flown over from Fairy Valley in what appears to be the largest fairy migration in North America in recent history. With different personalities and needs as those of their human roommates, the fairies live in the baseboards, gardens and walls of homes, marked by tiny wooden fairy doors, which they set up upon arrival.

Some great gifts here. I do have a Squinkies Clubhouse & an Irish Fairy Door lined up for my grandkids birthdays and for me I’d love a Tile since I’m forever ‘losing’ my phone it would certainly come in handy. 🙂
These ideas are great but my favorite is the tile mate because I’d never have to worry about losing anything
These are all great gift ideas and something for everyone!!
great ideas!
Looks like some great gift ideas! My husband sure needs the Tile as he is forever losing his keys!!
Those are neat ideas,my granddaughter loves Squinkies
Gotta love those Tile Mates!
Looks like great gifts for some kids.
awesome gift ideas , the Tekno Newborn is on my list of gifts to buy , my grandson has been raving about it for months 🙂
Ugh I seriously forgot about Tile Mate, that is the perfect gift for my daughter who can NEVER keep track of her keys!
Good thing she has a birthday soon!
Thanks for the wonderful list!
Great ideas! My daughter would a Tekno Newborn!
These would be great gifts to get for birthdays, especially if you aren’t sure what the child likes.
All great ideas, I really need to get the Tile for my wallet, since I am always setting it down and forgetting it!
Great ideas. Those squinkies look adorable!
I really liked all these ideas. I always keep searching for birthday gift ideas and finally I found that. This will help me a lot. Thanks for sharing!
Great ideals love the little puppy chiot
The tile mate is pretty cool , id have to stick it to my phone lol ! I never lose the purse or keys but when it comes to the phone its always gone lol
These are all great idea, I especially like the PL-UG Build Your Own Fort kit.
The Tekno Newborn is a really cute toy. Good for boys or girls. My son loves his.
I need a Tile Mate! Actually I need about 20 of them. Keys, phone, purse, glasses. And Thing 1 and Thing 2 definitely need this. Might be a perfect way to start out their reading weeks, and family day with a handy present from Mom.
I actually received a Tile Mate as a Secret Santa gift just this past Christmas! It is a great gift for anyone- i know I was very happy to receive it. It’s such a great little gadget that is quite affordable too. I am thinking of getting one for my husband because I think he would also benefit from having one – He is always losing his keys!
Great list! I think anyone receiving any of these as gifts will be very pleased! I know my nephew would have loved to receive the Tekno Newborn, and my little guy the S’Mores maker.
Great list ! Every thing on it looks so fun and I love that everything is affordable !!! I’d love to make s’mores !
Great gift idea! I really love the The Irish Fairy Door Company. Such a great idea and I love fairies!
The Tile Mate is a great gift & so useful for anyone! I have a few things I need to attach one to as losing things is so frustrating!
I loved the idea of the Tile Mate until I learned they need to be replaced/have a shelf life. Too much of a cost for me – though it would be SO helpful for a forgetful gal like myself…
Great list – I love the variety! The PL-UG Build Your Own Fort is especially neat – my little daughter loves building forts from our couch cushions!!
Great gift ideas!
A great selection. Love the fairy door.
