Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are especially tricky this year and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A holy grail 11-in-1 Instant Pot (and cookbook!) for the easiest meal prep *ever* thanks to recipes for just about everything from cheesy party dip to hearty Thanksgiving sides.
2. An adorable kitchen timer to keep you on track for that casserole you have cooking in the oven. Remember, you don't have to use your phone for every last timed task!
3. And an actual standup Kitchenaid mixer that comes with a 5-quart stainless steel bowl large enough for all sorts of tasks, like whipping up nine dozen cookies, four loaves of bread, or seven pounds of mashed potatoes in a single batch. If that won't be useful around the holidays, idk what would be.
4. A rechargeable lighter (no lighter fluid needed!) that'll help you quickly, safely light your pumpkin-spice or pine-scented fave without scurrying around the house to unearth your stash of restaurant match books.
5. And a rapid fire starter if you like to grill through the winter or have a wood-burning fireplace. The quicker you get that fire going, the sooner you can get to other things on your to-do list.
6. A double extension cord to help you create more access for those animatronic reindeer you put up in your living room before you eat your way through all the Halloween candy. No more shuffling around the plugs for the table and floor lamps.
7. And a wireless remote kit to make turning on your holiday village, twinkle lights, or simply just ~mood~ lighting a total breeze.
8. A rapid egg cooker that'll make the hardest step of your famous deviled eggs (hard boiling 'em) minimal effort. It even has a built-in timer!
9. A robot vacuum can suck up all the nasty crumbs, dust, and debris around your house while you're doing other things, like icing cookies. Let someone else do the vacuuming for once!
10. A charging station so allll your devices will be juiced up in preparation for loved ones calling you because they can't remember which house on the block is yours or for when your kid is complaining about being bored. No more hunting for free outlets!
11. An electric knife so you can efficiently carve that turkey, ham, bread, or other scrumptious edible for PEAK presentation.
12. A digital food thermometer to get an instant temperature read, keeping you from being intimidated when cooking a turkey.
13. A timed safety shut-off plug in case your holy grail hair straightener doesn't have an auto-shutoff and you're a tad forgetful. Let's not have the fire department pop in for a visit this holiday season, eh?
14. A sunrise-simulating alarm clock that'll be even more effective than a regular model when it comes to convincing your body to wake up for the day — even if Santa stayed up late into the night wrapping gifts.
15. Or a bed-shaking alarm clock with an extremely loud alarm if you sleep like you're in hibernation for the winter.
16. A Google Nest Hub to answer all your cooking questions, tell you tomorrow's weather, queue up holiday tunes, and act as a smart picture frame while not in use.
17. A programmable coffeemaker I made my brother buy our parents years ago with an easy-to-wash carafe pot that'll let you drink hot coffee hours after you brew it. Coffee is KEY, folks!
18. A countertop ice-cube maker that can create up to 26 pounds of ice in 24 hours. No more running out for bags of ice before the event!
19. An automatic pet feeder to dispense up to four meals a day while you're on the prowl for that special cheese you need to re-create a Pinterest recipe. Bowser's gotta eat.
20. An air sanitizer/deodorizer that'll one-up those little glass vials of seasonal scented oils and your diffuser because you'll only have to switch out a light bulb twice a year to keep it going. Your house only seems as clean as it smells.
