We’ve all been there, right? You forgot someone special off the Christmas list and it’s the 19th of December. No retailer will deliver, but you need a special gift to say you’ve thought about the person in question.
These are some of the online Christmas gifts I’ve bought for loved ones in the past and would love to receive from someone.
A voucher or a last-minute tailored online gift doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. I’ve sometimes intentionally opted for this type of gift if I didn’t know what to buy someone.
Quick note: Some of the links contained on this page are affiliate links and if you go through them to make a purchase, I will earn a commission. I only recommend products I use myself and think would be useful for you.
I’ve created a list of great online vouchers you can purchase straight to your inbox. For the special person in your life.
An online course
If you follow the blog, you all know I love learning and frequently do free and cheap courses.
Is there a person in your life who loves learning? What a great idea for an online Christmas gift.

A romantic meal in the local pub
We have a few pubs near us where the food is upmarket and the drinks are fantastic. You pay a little more for your night out, but you have a lovely time and feel like you’ve been to a restaurant.
One year we didn’t have a clue what to buy for family members and we got them a voucher for a night out. As it turns out, we ended up all going together for mothers day the following year, but their meal was paid for and it was a lovely night. What a treat.
You can buy a voucher for the pub chain we visited here. Gift cards can be emailed to your loved ones. Simple.
Village Hotels voucher
We love an overnight stay at Village hotels. They have everything you need all in one place and it’s an affordable treat.
Even better, you can purchase a digital voucher for someone you love. The recipient can look forward to a relaxing stay at a time of their choosing.
The perfect online Christmas gift.
Buy a Gift
I have used this company many times in the past. Not only for online Christmas gifts but also birthdays and anniversaries.
We once bought a weekend away voucher for my parents and they loved the experience. The beauty of it is most vouchers you buy, provide a range of dates and hotels you can visit. Meaning your loved one still has a choice about where they go and when.
Final thoughts
I hope these ideas have inspired you if you’re struggling to buy for someone, or you need an additional voucher to add to their overall gift.
Feel free to use this list as a last-minute purchase, if you’ve forgotten someone. I am sure I will forget a lot of important tasks over Christmas.
Let me know your thoughts on vouchers in the comments below.
Awesome ideas! These are great for hard to shop for people…Or last minute gifts!
Thank you. I hope they will be useful for other people.
These are all amazing ideas! Some friends are very difficult to buy for, simply because they honestly have everything! This helps a bit x
It’s the same with our family. People just buy something when they want it. I might be using this list myself!
Oh this is such a good idea! There’s so many that would appreciate something like this instead. I’d love a National Trust membership xx
I thought I would share my fave online gifts.
We would also love National Trust, but it’s a little expensive. Maybe one day we can buy a lifetime one.
Ha. I appreciate any gift guides I can get as I could be terrible at getting gifts for people lol. I think the idea of a buyagift voucher and a meal at the local pub is just fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
I hope it helps. I’m not doing great at buying so far. I might be referring back to this list, haha!
These are great online gifts! As a blogger I would love for someone to buy me a few online courses and even some subscriptions.
Great ideas! I swear there always someone that you end up forgetting or not knowing what to get for them and time ticks away and before we know it, we need to get them a last minute gift!
I totally agree. I’m always forgetting someone or something these days.
