Ulta, Zara, Best Buy, Apple & Sephora

Traditionally speaking, giving a gift card or chunk of cash as a gift gets a bad rap, but it doesn’t have to be a last-minute gift that looks like you put zero thought into it at all whatsoever. Especially if you have to celebrate milestones or holidays with loved ones virtually, 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.

Best E-Gift Cards at a Glance

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 recipient 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.
