Christmas is practically hours away, but there’s no reason to panic if you still haven’t finished your gift shopping. Though shipping deadlines for Christmas Eve delivery have come and gone for some retailers, many will let you order items online and pick them up in store. That means you can still get your gifts in time for Christmas and avoid the chaos of the last-minute crowds. Below are some of our favorite retailers who are providing this service, plus a few gift picks to help you out. Keep in mind that not all of our selections may be available in your location, so be sure to search by your local store’s available products when browsing. Need more last-minute gifting inspo?

Capri Blue’s signature Volcano scent is a bona-fide customer favorite that’s regularly carried in all stores. Gift the diffuser version for an everlasting infusion of this fresh scent.

Currently running tons of holiday deals, Bed Bath lets you easily shop by what’s in stock at your local store and then it can be ready in just two hours—just be sure to place those orders by 11 p.m. tonight, Dec. 23. Have a look at the gift tabs, which offer a curated list of ideas by recipient, price or interest, such as cooking, beauty, tech or coffee gifts. We like the 64 oz. NutriBullet, which can take any recipe to the next level with its sheer power.

3. Macy’s

Skip the shopping crowds and head straight to your local Macy’s to pick up your online purchase. Be sure to get those orders placed by 3 p.m. local time on Christmas Eve, though. Luckily, there are still plenty of deals on home, beauty, apparel, and accessories. Try using code GIFT for an extra 15-20 percent off most items. The quality of this Martha Stewart cast iron Dutch oven is top-notch and the price is shockingly reasonable. It’s hard to find one this large for less than $300. Get this for someone who already has a 6-quart. Trust us, a bigger Dutch oven can ALWAYS be put to good use.

Nordstrom‘s pick-up services are really letting us wait until the very last second. Get those orders in by 3 p.m. EST on Dec. 24 for online order pick up. Among the candles, beauty sets and cold-weather gear, you’re bound to find something that screams BEST GIFT EVER, such as this whiskey tumbler, which just oozes cool. It’s punk, goth, design-y, and an all-around great gift for anyone who likes to have a drink after work. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="See%20more%20of%20our%20favorite%20gift%20picks.<br><br><strong>Buy:%20</strong><a%20href=" https:>Nachtmann Punk Whiskey Tumbler, $20

In a bind? You have until two hours before store closing ( typically 6 p.m.) on Christmas Eve to get those orders in and get yourself to your nearest Target. If you need ideas, Target has curated over 20 last-minute gift lists for all types of recipients, from those who deserve a little “me-time” to brewmasters and everyone in between. This practical quip electric toothbrush, one of the first accepted by the American Dental Association, helps to remove plaque and reduce gingivitis using sonic vibrations—plus who can resist that sleek aluminum design?

Walmart

Santa’s elves are working hard to get all those toys and electronics orders filled from Walmart, so be sure to make those purchases today by 4 p.m. local time today to pick up your items on Christmas Eve. We love these floral-patterned plates from Flower Home, which are as stylish as something you’d find at Anthropologie.

In addition to its regular assortment of mid-century furnishings, handwoven rugs, plush bedding, and more, West Elm is also a great destination for gifts.

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters is always a fun place to find fun gifty items. However, the countdown clock is on, and you need to get those orders in by 9 a.m. EST on Christmas Eve to pick up your purchase in time to get it under the tree. Among the sloth-shaped novelties and Instax cameras, we like this Five-Minute Journal, which promotes mindfulness and gratitude. See more of our favorite gift picks.
