But when it comes to the second week in December, many of us start to panic because we haven’t bought a single present. What about these five ideas for gifts that you can buy quickly?

Give someone a place to put pen to paper

MoleskineTarget not accessible notebooks are now legendary.

The notebooks can be ordered in the online shop and are also available from travel centers. The shop lets you know whether it’s worth your while going to the station as it shows current stock levels. And if you’re looking for something more digital, you can’t go wrong with the Smart Writing SetTarget not accessible from Moleskine – what you write down on the pad is directly linked to digital end devices, so the sky’s the limit for your creativity.

Give someone your time

In our hectic lives, perhaps the nicest and most valuable thing you can give is your own time. No other gift is as personal and individual as that. Whether it’s inviting friends, relatives and acquaintances over to cook together in your kitchen, taking someone on a hike or devoting some time to a joint hobby, the choice is yours. And all you need to do it is write a few words in a beautiful Christmas card, which is one thing that can definitely be bought at the last minute!
