Last Minute Gift Ideas That’ll Still Seriously Impress

We’ve all been there. Christmas is creeping up, your mate’s birthday is next week, or you’ve just remembered a secret Santa you swore was sorted. And yep… you’ve still got nothing. No worries. There’s plenty of time to pull off a gift that actually hits the mark.

And we’re not talking servo snacks and gift cards from the petrol station. We’re talking proper, impressive, flavour-packed presents that show you’ve still got great taste (even if the calendar got away from you).

Forget panic buying. These last minute gift ideas are high on impact, big on quality, and guaranteed to impress!

For the mate who’s impossible to shop for (but always loves a good time)

The ULTIMATE Beef & Brew Hamper

  • Perfect for: Beer buffs, BBQ kings, snack connoisseurs
  • Why it works: It’s got jerky. It’s got beer. It’s got socks. What else do you need?
  • Bonus points: Aussie-made, ships fast, packed to impress from box to belly

This isn’t just a gift… it’s a flavour-packed experience. Inside, you’ll find 14 bags of jerky (yep, 14), a 4-pack of DECADE IPAs from Limestone Coast Brewing, socks, a stubby holder, and a tote bag to haul it all around in. It’s the ultimate bundle for the bloke who reckons he’s seen it all, until now.

Only available online, so it’s best to grab one before they vanish like a cold beer on a hot day.

For the indecisive foodie who wants to try everything

“Sample Them All” Hamper

  • Perfect for: Jerky lovers, curious snackers, and foodies who can’t pick just one
  • Why it works: A tour de flavour (jerky, snap sticks, droëwors, and more!)
  • Extra win: Comes packed in a branded box, ready to wrap (or not… we won’t judge)

This one's a flavour buffet in a box. With 7 jerky bags, 4 snap sticks, 2 droëwors, and a Jerky Co tote, it’s a no-brainer for anyone who loves trying the full menu. They can smash through it or savour it slowly—either way, this hamper’s packed with enough variety to keep tastebuds on their toes.

Only available online.

For the “oh damn I forgot…” moment (but still want to nail it)

TJC Meat Money – E-Gift Card

  • Perfect for: Last-second shoppers, long-distance legends, or your “no idea what they want” friend
  • Why it works: Lands in your inbox instantly and lets them pick their faves
  • Extra win: No wrapping involved!

Need a gift in 10 seconds flat? Sorted. TJC Meat Money is your instant save, a digital gift card you can send with a few clicks. They’ll get access to our full range of jerky, biltong, snacks and more, and you’ll look like a gifting genius.

Online-only and seriously easy. Just pick a value, hit send, and consider it handled.

For the biltong fan who already has everything (except this)

The Jerky Co. Biltong Slicer

  • Perfect for: Biltong loyalists or anyone who takes their slicing seriously
  • Why it works: Turns biltong into a full-blown snacking ritual
  • Extra win: Magnetic stainless steel tray, non-slip base, and damn good looks on the benchtop

This one’s a gift with bragging rights. It’s the kind of slicer they didn’t know they needed… until they start using it. Quality blade, clever design, and the sort of satisfying feel that makes slicing biltong just as enjoyable as eating it.

For the flavour fiend who loves it hot (and award-winning)

Beef Biltong - Extra Hot

  • Perfect for: Spice lovers, snackers who like it bold, or anyone who reckons they can handle the heat
  • Why it works: Just crowned Champion at the 2025 Perth Royal Food Awards. And yeah, it’s earned it
  • Bonus perks: High protein, low carb, and air-dried for juicy texture and next-level flavour

This isn’t your average spicy snack. It’s moist, marinated, and made to impress. Packed with MSA-grade Aussie beef and coated in our signature spice blend, this biltong brings serious firepower without losing the flavour. It’s the ultimate flex for anyone who likes their meat snacks with a kick (and a trophy).

Tip: Set them up with a Jerky Co Subscription Box and save up to 15%!

For stocking stuffers that don’t suck (or melt in the car)

Jerky Co Merch

  • Perfect for: That one mate who already owns all the jerky, or when you just need a little something extra
  • Why it works: It’s cheeky, giftable, and way more fun than socks from your nan (even if ours are actually sick)
  • Includes: Stickers, socks, stubby holders, playing cards, totes and more!

Not all great gifts need to be chewed. Our merch range brings The Jerky Co flavour to the rest of your life (from toe to tote). These are the bits that round out a hamper, add a laugh to a stocking, or just scream “yep, I know good gear when I see it”.
