Christmas 2020: Best last-minute gifts for your last-minute meet-ups

You might have settled all your gifts for the upcoming holiday season. But with phase 3 upon us, and group-gathering numbers increasing to eight people from Dec 28, 2020 (plus, the 12 days of Christmas to get through),  you might not have factored in gifts for the extra three friends.

We’ve got some last-minute gift ideas here, and we love that they come nicely packaged so you won’t need to fuss with wrapping paper.
