2018 Gifts for Golfers: Last-Minute Gift Ideas

Best in Golf

The holiday season always flies by faster than expected. Christmas is less than a week away, but there is still time to pick up some last-minute gifts for golfers on your list. Check out these golf gift ideas that will arrive by December 24.

Keep in mind that the USPS deadline for first-class and priority mail service is Thursday, December 20 and the 22nd for priority express service. December 20 is also the cutoff for UPS 2nd day air service. FedEx’s last day for Express shipments to be delivered by Christmas is December 18. If you’re more the Amazon type, you can order with standard shipping up until the 18th.

Prime members have until December 22 for free two-day shipping. The site also advertises free one-day shipping for prime members so that you can order up until Sunday, December 23 or even same-day delivery on the 24th, but that might be cutting it close for even the most last-minute shoppers.

Seamus
Specialty golf shops typically have a strict cut off for holiday shipping about 10 days prior to the big day, but Seamus understands the last-minute nature the majority of us have. The company is guaranteeing UPS Air services to deliver items by 12/24. USPS orders are not guaranteed, but you’ll have a better chance the sooner you shop. Ball marks or bag tags can be purchased up until 12/21 at 3pm EST. Headcovers take a little more time, so you’ll only have until 12/18 and will have to pay a production rush fee.

Electric Eyewear
Select styles of Electric eyewear are eligible for Amazon Prime, so if you’re a Prime member you can take advantage of that free two-day shipping. The Dude glasses have a lot of retro style paired with the company’s trusted eye protection. The Grilamid frames make for an extremely durable construction and the lenses have 100 percent UV protection and 98 percent blue light protection so your eyes can rest easy whenever the sun decides to come back. For more traditional eyewear types, the Nashville XL is a shape that will flatter just about any face. In a variety of colors, gloss black looks luxe while the tortoise has a regal feel. It’s a brand to trust, a style that will please and the shipping speed you need.
