The clock is ticking! Last-minute gifts and stocking stuffers
Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? If not, you’re running out of time.
You’re probably already aware of that, though. With only a few days until Christmas, we’re down to the wire on the shopping timeline. If you don’t get it done now, you’re going to be stuck with minimal choices. Most of the Christmas shipping deadlines have already passed, so the clock is winding down.
Luckily, you may still have time if you get moving right now. Amazon is still offering “Arrives by Christmas” shipping on tons of items, so make sure you look for the icon when placing an order. That’s your best shot at on-time gifts this year. To help you get started, here are 10 last-minute gift ideas that will hopefully arrive by Christmas.
1. Give the gift of memories
Looking for a heartfelt gift for your favorite relative or friend? This Atatat Digital Photo Frame is a great way to share all of your amazing memories with them. The 8-inch digital screen is large enough to showcase all of their favorite images, and they’ll be able to customize the frame to their heart’s content.
Promising review: “This is a birthday present I gave to my cousin. She is a photo collector. I originally planned to purchase another gift package for the photo frame. But when I received this item, I thought I didn’t have to buy another gift package. This is a very beautiful box. Insert the SD card and adapter, select “Photo”, after a few seconds, the photo frame starts playing my picture, Nice, really Nice!! The picture quality is very clear and natural, just like on my MacBook Air.“
2. Any tech fanatic will love this
Who doesn’t want a smart speaker? The Echo Dot (4th generation) is a great option for any smart home fanatic or novice. Your loved one can use it to ask Alexa questions, play music, keep up with the news headlines or to control their other smart devices. There’s a reason the Echo Dot is the most popular smart speaker with Alexa: it’s easy to use, affordable and has about a million different uses. They’ll love it.
Promising review: “I love my new echo dot! It has a nice sound speaker with an amazing app that’s been improved so much over the years. I received it today and enjoy so much for so many reasons. It has a really sleek design and an improved sound system from the first generation for sure. I have had Alexa in my house for a couple of years now and it has been a great experience. Highlights of this generation: Great new sphere design with a light ring on a bottom; quality of material; sounds with bass is amazing and I feel it. Will be super nice in stereo mode; climate Pledge Certified; and easy set up as always.”
