Last-minute gifts don’t have to be lame.
Lazy picks are what miss the mark.
If it feels like a drugstore stop, it shows.
Socks. Gift cards. Random cologne grabbed five minutes before checkout. That’s not “last minute”. That’s low effort. And everyone can tell the difference.
The good news? You don’t need weeks of planning to give a gift that lands. You just need something that actually gets used. Something that fits into his routine and quietly upgrades it instead of collecting dust.
That’s the difference between a panic buy and a smart one. It;s why grooming gifts win — especially when they’re built for real routines, not novelty.
If you’re up against the clock, skip the panic buys. These are the best buzzer-beater gifts for men.
