Traditionally speaking, giving a gift card or chunk of cash as a holiday gift gets a rap, but it doesn’t have to be a last-minute gift that looks like you put zero thought into it at all whatsoever. Given strict social distancing limitations in place this year, many of us will be celebrating the holidays with our loved ones virtually, which means giving e-gifts over the Internet is more acceptable than ever before. Besides, in all reality, gift cards allow the giftee in question to get whatever they want, so you don’t have to do the guesswork to try to figure it out. However, shipping gift cards in the mail is risky—sadly, they’re often stolen en route.
Look, I’ll admit it—I’ve definitely been one to scurry into the nearest grocery store to pick out a last-minute (and super generic) gift card on my way to Christmas gift exchanges with my family in the past (I mean, I highly doubt my grandmother wanted a gift card to Home Depot, but hey, that’s all that was left) but now, it’s so darn easy to buy and send thoughtful e-cards online from stores and services that the giftee in question will actually love—and it takes even less time than sprinting to the CVS around the block and checking out IRL. Scroll through below to check out some of the best last-minute e-gift cards you can buy and send online without looking like a massive procrastinator.

Personalized E-Gift Cards
Okay, so gift cards often get a bad rap when it comes to the “thoughtful gifts” category, but when you personalize with a chic design or a special photo that the giftee will love, that’s an entirely different story.
