The first night of Hanukkah is tomorrow and Christmas is next week, yet we've barely made a dent in our holiday shopping list. Sound familiar? Well, we're feeling a lot better knowing that Drew Barrymore is just like us. "God bless the people who are organized about it," she says. "I am not." Defining her shopping style as "last minute and frantic," the actress, producer, and Flower Beauty founder gave us her top 11 gift picks, just in time for us procrastinators. From fellow beauty addicts to your friend with Pinterest-worthy decor, you're guaranteed to find the perfect present. Looking to make your gift really special? Drew recommends something personalized. "It's not too intimate, and it doesn't seem thoughtless," she said. "Anything that you get personalized or engraved is not something that is going to sit around somewhere."

The Elf on the Shelf

The Elf on the Shelf

"I just got the Elf on the Shelf for my daughter. Every morning, she looks for the elf and knows the elf is going to report to Santa whether she is being naughty or nice. She loves the whole concept and has given him a name. I love the book, and I love what these women did with it."

Mini Lip Crayons

Mini Lip Crayons

"I wish we sold them [in this size] all year-round because they are so pocket-friendly! I find that when products are made in a smaller size, they are usually of a lesser quality, but this is still our really top-of-the-line formula just in miniature. I am pretty obsessed with them!"

An Ornament

An Ornament

"I have gone all over town looking for ornaments, and I ended up buying most of my ornaments at Rite-Aid — I am not kidding! I got all my balls there. But ornaments always have a story . . . 'so and so gave me this' or 'we found this in Napa.' Each ornament can really be a memory."

Wine

Wine

"A bottle of wine with a big red bow on it says 'I love you!' For Christmas, you can go really bold and earthy and red or really light and crisp and white. You really can't go wrong."

Casal Garcia Vinho Verde ($10)

Personalized Post-its

Personalized Post-its

"I love personalized Post-its. Stationery is a big commitment, and you may not know someone's style, but everyone needs Post-its. With your name on it and in a cute color, it is a genius gift. Someone got them for me years ago, and I am coming to the end of them. I am devastated."

Pink Animal Print Post-it Notes ($34)

Radiant Fragrance Set

Radiant Fragrance Set

"This has a nail, a lip, and a fragrance. It is very feminine, pink, and pretty — and girls love pink! Radiant is a sparkling, dewy green floral [perfume]. I think it is a nice thing to rock to a holiday party, smelling like sparkling flowers."

Flower Beauty Radiant Fragrance and Color Set ($20)

Magazine Subscription

Magazine Subscription

"The Week is my favorite magazine. It's a weekly aggregator of everything that happened on the planet. You can be so smart, so quickly about everything. It also has amazing restaurants, museums, novels, art exhibits, and travel, but it is literally in this tiny-tiny little magazine. I don't know how they do so much in so little, but it has a sense of humor. And the crossword puzzles in the back are my favorite."

The Week 50-Week Subscription ($60)

Cookbook

Cookbook

"I really love the Williams-Sonoma 365 'Of the Day' cookbooks. They have salad of the day, soup of the day, pasta of the day . . . They take the guesswork out of it for you. Every day has a date on the calendar for you, and it has a great recipe."

Williams-Sonoma Salad of the Day Cookbook ($35)

Table Linens

Table Linens

"I love the gift of linen napkins or pretty place mats for someone's table. I just think that table settings can be so eclectic. You could have a little floral dish and a pretty linen napkin, and it just feels special. They are not expensive, and they can really make a nice kind of breakfast or lunch or dinner moment."

Williams-Sonoma Jingle Bells Napkin ($15)

Globe

Globe

"A globe is an awesome present. It's useful, it's decorative . . . you can stare at it and dream of places you may or may never get to go to. I have been a globe collector my whole life. When I found this one website, 1worldglobes.com, I was like, 'Oh, this is a good curation.'"

Mother of Pearl Ocean Globe With Gold Tripod Stand ($700)

Makeup Brushes

Makeup Brushes

"I can't tell you who our lab also makes brushes for, but please trust me when I say that they are the top of the line! They stand up, they're weighted, and have rose-gold accents. The bristles are ombre, and they are just to die for."

Flower Beauty Brush Up! Set ($20)
