Uber Eats Is Saving Us This Season And We’re So Grateful

In partnership with Uber Eats

In life, there are people who start Christmas shopping in October and have everything wrapped and under the tree by the day after Thanksgiving. And then…there’s us. And if you saw us texting the family thread “what does everybody want pls respond quickly” on the 20th last year, no you didn’t.

The good news? This December, we’ve got a secret weapon that’ll save us from our perpetually last-minute selves. Introducing (drumroll, please) gifting with Uber Eats. I know what you’re thinking — Uber Eats? The app that always delivers my tasty desk salads and late-night sushi splurges? Well, what if we told you that on top of bringing you the sandwich you’ve got a sudden craving for, it could deliver perfect presents to the people you love? Would you scream? We did.

All you have to do is order the gift you want to give, put in your loved one’s delivery address, and track it as it makes its way to their doorstep. You can click “Send as a Gift”at checkout to add a gift card and note and let your recipient choose and schedule a delivery time so that it arrives at exactly the right moment. And you can order hundreds of gifts. Hair tools? Done. Headphones? You’ve got it. An inflatable kiddie pool with a waterfall feature? I mean, go off queen, but yes — that too.

And as if that weren’t enough, Uber Eats has teamed up with some of your (and our) favorite stars to add a sparkly bow on top of every gift you send through their app. When you click “Send as a Gift” at checkout, you’ll be able to include a video from a special panel of celebs. Think: Megan Thee Stallion, the Jonas Brothers, Jake Shane, and Tracee Ellis Ross. There’s no extra charge, and it’s guaranteed to make your giftee’s day — plus give them a great story to tell over family dinner, and who doesn’t need that?

Consider yourself the ultimate celeb? You can opt to record your own video message to send. Whatever you choose, your loved one will get a great gift, a message of holiday cheer, and the knowledge that you’re thinking of them this season. It simply doesn’t get any sweeter.
