They’ll come in time for Christmas.
I’m no stranger to the “Sunday Scaries,” but this week, mine were even worse than usual. Reason being? I realized I still had several family members that I needed to buy Christmas gifts for. Luckily, my Amazon cart was already filled with presents I’d been carefully selecting over the past few weeks—all that was left for me to do was to head to checkout.
For last-minute shoppers like myself, Amazon’s quick shipping, which you can access with a Prime membership, is seriously a lifesaver. Equally as helpful is the retailer’s impressive gifts selection, which includes everything from tech must-haves to cozy loungewear.
Now that my holiday shopping is finally done, I’ve taken it upon myself to help out my fellow procrastinators—consider it my submission for the “Nice” list. Below, you’ll find 10 hand-picked presents sure to please even your pickiest loved ones—and, if you order now, these will all arrive in time for Christmas.

- Carhartt Cuffed Beanie, $20 Burt’s Bees Mask Bundle Gift Set, $13 Burt’s Bees Hand Salve, $8 (Originally $10) Insmy Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker, $29 (Originally $35) Coach Cadie Watch, $295 Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask, $29 Hanes Ecosmart V-Notch Crewneck Sweatshirt, $9 (Originally $18) Hotor Hanging Travel Toiletry Bag, $17 Litfun 3-Pack Fuzzy Socks, $15 (Originally $16) JBL Tune Bluetooth Headphones, $30 (Originally $50)
When shopping for the person who has everything, it’s best to stick to everyday essentials that’ll get frequent use. Since my mom falls into this category, I bought her this hydrating Burt’s Bees hand salve, which is made with a natural beeswax that’s perfect for softening dry, rough hands. If you’re hunting for fashion items, though, cold-weather must-haves, such as a knit beanie or a roomy Hanes sweatshirt, also make thoughtful presents. And of course, fuzzy socks, a classic gift for a reason, are definitely an everyday essential in the winter—while they’re a solid standalone gift, they also work as a great stocking stuffer option.

Even those with expensive taste will be impressed with a gift from Amazon. You can’t go wrong with anything from Meghan Markle-used brand Tatcha, so grab the plumping lip mask for your resident skin care snob. There’s also plenty of elegant designer jewelry, such as a sleek Coach watch.

Because he’s very picky about his clothes and self-care products, my dad was especially difficult to shop for. However, he is a huge gadget nerd, so I finally landed on buying him a bluetooth speaker. What sets the speaker apart is the fact that it’s waterproof—you can safely bring it to the beach, pool, or even use it in the shower. If you’re also shopping for a tech-obsessed music lover, Amazon has tons of budget-friendly headphones, too, including a $30 pair from JBL.
