Need last-minute Christmas gifts? We’ve got you covered

As the festive season kicks off, there’s plenty to get excited about. But as the days slip by and you realise you might have left your shopping a tad late, the holiday stress can start to creep in.

With decorating, party planning, and juggling work and family, it's easy to lose track of time in the hustle and bustle. Suddenly, Christmas is around the corner, and you’re not quite sorted with the gifts. This is where you might need some last-minute gift ideas.

If you find yourself in a bit of a time crunch, don't worry. Not only are our personalised photo gifts ready to order with speedy delivery, but they’re high quality, too. From custom photo books to quirky keepsakes, you can give gifts that look anything but last-minute.

Our top picks for last-minute photo gifts

Personalised photo gifts are thoughtful, memorable, and one-of-a-kind, making them ideal for anyone on your list.

Photo gifts are brilliant for last-minute gifting because they’re easy to create, and feel far more meaningful than a standard last-minute buy. From custom mugs to framed prints and wall art, they’re gifts that feel special without the stress. And with our quick delivery, we’ll make sure your gift gets under the tree in time.

Here are a few of our top recommendations for last-minute Christmas gifts that feel personal and polished — no one will guess you ordered them in a rush!

Personalised Photo Books

If you have a little more time to order but need something that’s quick to make, our Standard and Premium photo books are ideal — just order by the 6th of December.

In just a few minutes, you can upload your favourite photos to our easy-to-use platform and start designing a completely unique album. The best part is, you can tailor your photo book to your recipient. Plus, you can use our handy templates to come up with a professional-quality design quickly and easily.

Got a friend who just had a baby? Create a cute mini photo book filled with photos of them and their little one. Alternatively, go for a Standard Softcover Photo Book and add our Baby Beautiful design — the ideal template, packed with sweet yet sophisticated stars and the option to add frames and stickers.

Had your first holiday away as a couple this summer? Use the Valencia coffee-table template to make a stylish travel album for your partner, capturing everything from beach selfies to late-night bar photos — it’ll look right at home in your living room as a coffee table book.

Or, if your sibling loves a bit of nostalgia, create a book filled with funny photos from your childhood — think family holidays, silly costumes, and school sports days — to give them a good laugh over Christmas.

Easy Photo Books

And for when time really is of the essence, our Easy Photo Books are just the ticket. With 20 pages to fill, these 8”x8” photo books provide plenty of space for memories. Each one has an elegant plain-colour cover and can be delivered in just 4 working days.

When to order

You’ll need to order any of our Premium (Hardcover, Softcover , Mini ) and Standard (Hardcover, Softcover, Linen ) Photo Books by the 6th of December. However, our Easy Photo Books are available with a super-quick turnaround — get your order in by the 18th of December to make sure it arrives by the big day.

Acrylic Photo Blocks

Have you seen our Acrylic Photo Blocks ? These sleek little gems are perfect for adding some personality to any space, whether it's a desk, shelf, or windowsill. They’re great for last-minute Secret Santa gifts as well as fun stocking fillers.

For your sparkle-loving friend, pop a Silver Glitter Photo Block in your shopping basket. Frame a selfie of the two of you together or another memory you’ve shared — then give it a shake for that extra shimmer.

Then there’s the Snow Frame Photo Block for a seasonal vibe (or the mate who’s off in the Alps snowboarding whenever they can). Just upload a photo from their latest trip, and you’ve got a personal, wintry keepsake that’ll bring some festive cheer to their space.

When to order

To make sure your last-minute photo block gift arrives in time for Christmas, order by the 18th of December. If it’s for a colleague as a Secret Santa present, we recommend ordering a little earlier to make it in time for the office party!

Custom calendars

Custom Calendars are a solid choice for a last-minute Secret Santa gift that still feels personal and thoughtful. Not only does it help them jump into the New Year in style, but it’s also a great way to keep your giftee organised with a personal touch.

Whether it's a colleague who has a phone full of pet pictures or your grandparents who love looking through photos from days gone by, upload your recipient's favourite photos and pick a design that suits them. Choose an A4 Wall Calendar, sleek Slim Calendar, or a stylish Wooden Block Calendar.

For an extra personal twist, why not make it themed? Each month could be a different holiday destination from their travels or relate to the month itself — add a photo of their latest summer getaway for August or a picture of their child trick-or-treating in October.

You could go for something heartfelt for a family member. Alternatively, why not showcase your colleague’s finest (read: most embarrassing) moments at last year’s office Christmas party? Who wouldn’t want to see those late-night karaoke snaps?

Either way, a photo calendar is a personalised gift that’s both practical and entertaining.

When to order

You can order your Photo Wall Calendar as late as the 18th of December for your recipient to unwrap on Christmas Day.

Custom canvas prints

Turn your favourite photos into works of art with a Premium Canvas Print. Whether it's a stunning landscape, a family portrait, or a candid snapshot, MyFUJIFILM can transform your photos into beautiful canvas prints that will adorn your loved ones' walls.

Has your friend just moved home and needs to spruce up their walls with a touch of their own personality? Maybe a loved one is heading off to university for the first time and could use a piece of home on their wall. Either way, a personalised canvas is a thoughtful way to make their space feel like theirs.

Pick a photo that means something special — whether it’s a snap from a memorable trip, a candid moment with their pet, or a fun birthday celebration. The key is to go for something vibrant, and be sure to choose a high-res photo so it looks sharp when it’s stretched onto the canvas.

When to order

So your personalised calendar is ready to gift by Christmas day, get your order in by the 18th of December. Why not order some Photo Wrapping Paper at the same time for iconic packaging they’ll adore?

Personalised mugs

You can’t go wrong with a personalised photo mug as a Christmas gift for someone special. No matter what they drink, what better vessel than a photo mug? From their morning cuppa to their evening hot chocolate (and a coffee or eight in between), our Custom Ceramic Mug is a fun yet practical way to add a personal touch to your loved one’s daily routine. The pop of colour — choose from red, yellow, or blue — makes it all the more vibrant.

If you're gifting to grandparents, how about uploading a photo of your little one’s drawing for them to enjoy with every sip? Or, for your partner, a beautiful photo from your wedding day would make a lovely and sentimental touch.

When to order

Whichever photo and colour you choose, order your photo mug by the 18th of December. You could even add a Personalised Photo Card so you can include a festive message.
