You still have a few hours left to pick out the perfect healthy gift, but if you're typically an online shopper (and you don't feel like shelling out big bucks on overnight shipping) you're out of luck.

Not to fret: We rounded up a few great, healthy picks you can send instantly with a click of your mouse, as well as some homemade presents you can put together in minutes.

Let us know in the comments if you've finished your holiday shopping or if you'll be putting these (or other!) last-minute ideas to good use!

In 2010, the CDC found that only about one third of Americans eat fruit or drink fruit juice at least twice a day, according to the AP. That's a far cry from half-plate of fruits and veggies the USDA now recommends.

Make healthy eating easy by having a selection of fresh picks sent directly to a loved one's door with a year-long (or few month) membership to a fruit-of-the-month club. We love the variety of Harry and David plans. Prices vary, harryanddavid.com

No time to shop? Here's the biggest tip anyone ever will give to you-CHRISTMAS COMES THE SAME DAY OF THE YEAR, EVERY FRIGGIN' YEAR. There is no excuse for last minute shopping. The date didn't suddenly...TA-DAH!...sneak up on you. Your shopping, except for a very few perishables, should have been done months ago.
