No matter how much we shop and plan ahead, it seems like we’re always scrambling for last-minute items during the holidays. It might be a gift for that cousin you forgot about (everyone does it) or missing ingredients for the eggnog — every year it’s something.
If you find yourself in one of these predicaments, our recommendation is DoorDash. The delivery service does much more than meals from local restaurants, offering deliveries in under an hour from retail and grocery stores. That means you could get everything from a cashmere scarf to a special bottle of whiskey the same day as your white elephant party or family gift exchange. No need to deal with the cold weather and the chaos at your local mall.
DoorDash is also a great solution if you’re hosting a holiday party and suddenly realize something is missing. You’ll be able to get the item delivered (again, in under an hour) while you finish getting everything ready at home.
DoorDash Holiday Deals
To make things even more jolly, DoorDash is running some great deals during the holiday season.
One DoorDash holiday deal gets customers a $10 gift card when you spend $100 or more on Sephora, Ulta Beauty, Macy’s, Airbnb, Fortnite, and other select egift cards. Put that $100 gift card towards something you’d buy anyway (maybe groceries or gifts) for a money-saving hack.
Another (sort of) DoorDash deal is their DashPass subscription service. It’s not a discount, per se, but it’s an opportunity to save big on all deliveries. For $10 a month, DashPass removes delivery fees and lowers service fees on orders. It also lets you save up to 10% on select digital gift cards, and it comes with partner perks like Lyft discounts.
