IS it just us, or has Christmas crept up quicker than Usain Bolt on a sprint to his local corner shop?
And while the festive season is about so much more than presents, if you have forgotten to buy a gift for someone really special, do not worry.
We’ve found five cracking plant gifts that you can order today (and some even tomorrow!) for delivery before the big man comes.
And they don’t have to cost a bomb – we’re talking prezzies from a tenner, plus postage costs.
Most are pretty hardy too (just in case you are doubting the green-fingered credentials of the receiver), but even so - throw in a pot with the gift and at least some of your present should last forever.
