A shoutout to Oso and Me for gifting us this adorable outfit and making it so easy to dress little boys for Hanukkah parties!

It’s officially last minute gift season. No matter how organized you are, you probably have at least one person on your list who still needs a gift. Don’t worry! These last minute gifts are actually some of the most special. A short story to explain why I think so: After I gave birth to my second baby I ran out of face wash. Refilling it was the last thing on my mind. It had been several days since I washed my face when my best friend delivered face wash. It’s a gift I remember so vividly, not because face wash is so special, but because she knew what I needed when I couldn’t remember. What could be better?

A reoccurring delivery of something a loved one already uses and needs is a special thing, especially if that person happens to be overwhelmed. You can set this up the night before you need it, and write a meaningful card that goes something like: “For the next 6 months, your face wash will deliver to you regularly. I’ll always remember that you need to wash your face when you don’t.” So thoughtful! A similar equation works for gifting experiences, memberships and more. Here are a bunch of my favorite ideas like this for everyone on your list:

Face Wash - As described above, this is my favorite pick for a new mom. My favorite brands that offer reoccurring delivery are Goop, True Botanicals, and Osea. This is also a great one for husbands who still buy face wash at CVS :)
