1. For the driver: custom-design, personalized floor mats

Time for a shameless plug here: The custom-fit car floor mats from our Design Your Car Mats™ line make great gifts because they are unique and because you get to custom design them and personalize them to your liking. Best of all, we make and ship your mats in only two business days. As the picture above shows, Santa Claus designed his with black carpet, red serging, a red heelpad, and his catchphrase embroidered in red: HO HO HO. 

There are only four steps to design a set of personalized floor mats but thousands of possible design combinations. You pick from one of 10 carpet colors, choose one of 41 edging options, then pick an optional heelpad shape and color, and then personalize it. You can choose an embroidered name, or message of up to 10 characters (including spaces), add a monogram or initials. We have two font styles available -- block text or script -- and 18 color choices. If you prefer an embroidered image instead of custom text or a personalized monogram, we also have 16 logos to choose from. Click here to see more details for each step.

Each set of designed mats are one-of-a-kind, and we can make custom-fit floor mats for all makes and models. You can even personalize a trunk mat or cargo mat with a custom message or monogram! All mats are made and shipped within two business days, so you won't have to wait long to get your hands on this unique gift.

Design Your Car Mats™ to get started or shop Car Couture™ if you prefer to give leopard, zebra, camouflage, or oriental floor mats. We have 11 patterns to choose from in our luxury floor mat line. 

2. For the foodie: Cheese of the Month

If you have someone on your list that likes fine wines and cheeses, then why not sign them up for a Cheese of the Month Club? It's quick and easy, and like our custom floor mats, you can design your own program. Gift memberships are available from 2 to 12 months and can be sent monthly, every other month, quarterly or even on specific months that you choose. Your generosity will be remembered for months to come.

The site also allows you to print off a certificate instantly that you can present to the lucky foodie on your list, or you can have it emailed to them, and they promise a variety of traditionally made, artisanal and farmhouse cheeses made from the best natural ingredients.

3. For the interior designer: home mats

If anyone on your list loves to design and style their home with the finer things in life, you should browse the GGBailey.com For Your Home section. 

In addition to sheepskin rugs, we have home carpet mats available in medium (30"x17"), large (48"x25"), extra large (57"x25"), and double door sizes (72"x32"). There's no need to sacrifice fashion for utility when you can get a GG Bailey mat that protects your floors in high-traffic areas while adding style that complements your fine decor. Whether the desired style is traditional, contemporary, or a little of both, you'll find the right fit among our 11 designs of Car Couture™ luxury-weight carpet.

Our woven polyurethane carpets come in Beige Chariot, Topkapi, Red or Black Oriental, Beige Plaid, Camouflage, Leopard, Zebra, and Tiger. Our Subtle Style carpet, available in beige and grey, is specially made with high-quality nylon yarn that is cut to create a simple and elegant two-tone pattern.

4. For the live entertainment fan: tickets

Another way to get some instant gratification for your gift giving needs is to buy tickets online. From concerts to plays to sporting events, ticketnetwork.com has lots of ideas to help you find the perfect gift for just about anyone on your list. They offer an assortment of hand-selected, top events in live entertainment and they give you the option to pick Gift Notes you can give if tickets don’t arrive before the holidays.

The site also has a Holiday Events Guide in case you want to find something for the family to do together during the holidays. TicketNetwork provides a secure exchange for buying tickets online, but you can also call their live ticket agents, and they offer a 125% money back guarantee.

5. For the person who wants to be comfy: sheepskin

If there is someone on your list who likes to enjoy their commute, then our sheepskin products will add style and comfort to their drive. GGBailey.com's Sheepskin Seat Vest Cover and Sheepskin Bucket or Bench Seat Cushion products are available in seven colors, universal fit for all seat types, and they are every bit as durable and elegant as they are comfortable.

Our thick, deep Sheepskin pile provides natural springy comfort allowing air flow, making seating cool in Summer and warm in Winter. The patented trim cut allows your seat to show, which pleasantly accents your leather or fabric seats.  All of our Sheepskin products are made from the highest quality 100% Merino Sheepskin and with non-skid backing. 

As with all of our GGBailey.com products, we ship our sheepskin products in two business days or less, and you can take advantage of FREE ground shipping* during the holidays. 

6. For the all natural person: the gift of trees

If you have someone on your list who loves nature, then this last minute gift idea might be perfect for them. At AmericanForests.org you can donate money in someone's honor. Every dollar you donate will plant a tree in honor of that special person. In addition, the recipient of your gift will receive a certificate emailed to them stating the number of trees planted in their name through your generosity. They will also receive a one-year gift membership to American Forests which includes a subscription to their magazine, American Forests.

There is a minium $25 donation, but no limit to the amount you can give. Their program, Global ReLeaf, plants trees in all U.S. states and around the world. 

7. For the pet owner: Pet Car Mats and pet placemats

If you know someone who really loves their pet, then we also have a few gift ideas from GG Bailey.

8. For the dreamer: name a star

They have named hundreds of thousands of stars for people from all walks of life. So, whether it be for your friend, family member, co-worker, or whoever, a star name makes a unique and welcome gift.

Available in black or grey, our washmitts can be used both wet and dry and with any soap that is safe for vehicle paint. Simply rinse your mitt afterward and it will last a lifetime.

For the interior, we also offer a Sheepskin Duster, ideal for safely removing dust and debris for your car dash, and our Oreck XLAUTO Car Vacuum. This lightweight sleek silver vacuum plugs into the cigarette lighter and has a 15-foot cord for reaching into the trunk and other hard-to-reach places. Plus it’s small enough to store in your trunk or cargo area, so you can take it along on your road trip.

10. Gift Certificates
