Read on to find out our top picks!

Experience Gift Vouchers

Of course we’re biased, but we happen to think an experience gift voucher makes the ultimate last-minute gift. With hundreds of experiences to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find an activity they’ll love, no matter what their interests are. From abseiling to afternoon teas, there’s an experience to suit any giftee and any budget.  

Maybe they want to snorkel with seals in the beautiful False Bay? This unbelievable marine life experience day will see them get up close to one of the sea’s most majestic creatures – an ideal Christmas gift for those who love the water and sea-life. 

Or perhaps they just need a getaway. A personal favourite of ours is this deluxe Glamping Adventure with a Hot Tub, a relaxing overnight stay for two in Paternoster.

From luxury hotel stays that include a helicopter ride, to glamping getaways with the family, there are overnight breaks to suit any budget. 

If they’re an adventurous person, this Scenic Flight in Cape Town will make an utterly unforgettable gift, allowing them to admire the stunning views of South Africa's iconic capital.

An exciting Driving experience is sure to get an adrenaline-lover's heart racing. Why not check out this Quad Biking experience in the white sands of Atlantis? 

Stuff is all well and good, but memories last a lifetime – and they’ll be telling the story of their Christmas Experience Day for years to come!

Yoga Membership from Find What Feels Good 

Yoga with Adriene is one of the biggest yoga channels on YouTube, and all the at-home yogis out there will probably already know about her – but did you know she has a paid service with even more yoga and meditation content?

This Find What Feels Good membership gift is the ideal last-minute digital Christmas present for the yogi in your life, or anyone who’s looking to get healthier in the new year. Containing hours of yoga, meditation and creative workshops, this is the gift that keeps on giving and will serve their physical and mental health.

The best part is this can be at a high or low end of the budget. Membership starts at just $12.99 (R 240,95) for one month of access, and goes right up to $129.99 (R 2411,15) for a full year. You can even choose a custom amount for your giftee to redeem at their own pace. 

They’re bound to feel lighter, more energised and relaxed in 2023 thanks to you!

Takealot Gift Voucher 

Looking to buy a Christmas gift for a shopping addict? Gift them with a Takealot voucher.

This is a pretty fool-proof gift as they can spend it on all manner of things, from skincare to gadgets to groceries! The best part about this last-minute Christmas present is it takes the guesswork out of gifting, so treat them to their very own shopping spree. 

Audible Gift Voucher 

If they are into their podcasts or always have their nose in a book, they’ll be thrilled with an Audible gift subscription. If there’s not much to do at home over Christmas, settling into a comfy chair with their favourite drink and getting lost in an audio book is the perfect recipe for a cosy holiday. From Michelle Obama’s autobiography, to the Harry Potter books narrated by the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry, to Audible’s own original podcasts, there’s no shortage of content for them to sink their teeth (or ears?) into. 

This Audible gift subscription starts at R 187,98 for a month’s listening, and goes up to R 1 646,64 for a year. Subscribers have one credit per month, which entitles them to one audio book of their choice. Once they’ve downloaded, it’s theirs for life – even if they cancel the membership! They’ll also have access to all of Audible’s original podcasts and exclusive discounts.

Curiosity Stream Gift Subscription 

Another excellent Christmas gift for the giftee who loves a great story. 

If your Christmas giftee is addicted to documentaries and always looking for the next fascinating doc to sink their teeth into, a Curiosity Stream gift subscription will keep them entertained for months to come. 

Whether they’re interested in nature, history, technology or society, this streaming service has thousands of titles to suit every interest. Their selection is expertly curated by a savvy team, so your giftee is guaranteed to have their curiosity piqued – pardon the pun. 

Give the gift of a great story this Christmas.

Exclusive Books E-voucher 

If you are looking for an instant gift for a bookworm, let them choose their own reads with this Exclusive Books e-voucher - a great digital Christmas gift for all ages. 

Whether they want to get stuck into the Hunger Games series for some serious escapism, learn more about their favourite historical figure with a biography, or maybe gain some mouth-watering recipes from one of the expert chef-penned cookbooks, their mind will be nourished this festive season with this voucher.

Clarins E-gift Certificate

Everyone deserves some pampering after a difficult year. If your giftee is a skincare junkie, treat them to an indulgent shopping spree from Clarins. They can use their gift to splurge on makeup, skincare, pampering or whatever takes their fancy!
