60 Things From Amazon That'll Make Perfect Last Minute Gifts

Honestly, happy holidays to this gloriously intricate charcuterie board only.

1. A beginner's guide to calligraphy that is far more thorough and specific about technique and ink types than other versions, so they'll be sending you fancy pants formal invitations to their dog's Zoom birthday party in no time.

2. A pair of glowing light saber chopsticks to bring balance to the Force *and* to their sushi — whether they're repping the dark side or the light.

3. An adorably encouraging daily planner they can fill out throughout the course of each day — a super cute gift for the friend who likes to keep organized.

4. A pair of wireless sleep headphones that will play white noise or the music of their choice (read: all of Harry Styles' Fine Line) in a comfy headband, so they don't have to risk their ears getting sore while they snooze.

5. A beloved Carharrt beanie (that has over 100,000 positive reviews!!) to help them stave off the cold all winter long, keeping their noggin both super warm and — perhaps most importantly of all — color-coordinated to their other winter gear. This comes in so many colors that whoops, you might just buy one for every person on your list.

6. A compact light-therapy lamp to mimic the morning sun and give them a lil' boost of energy and happiness — this UV-free lamp has three different brightness settings to bring the perfect amount of light to their life.

7. A heat-changing retro Super Mario Bros. mug so they can use their coffee to level up to whatever Bowsers they encounter through their day.

8. A super popular time-marked water bottle that comes in a bajillion different colors to help motivate them to stay hydrated. Come for the fun colors, but stay for the super handy flip top lid and silicone, leakproof spout that actually makes drinking water seem — dare I say — fun?

9. An Embark dog DNA test perfect for anyone with a furry friend. All they have to do is send a swab of Fido's cheek, and it'll narrow their doggy heritage down to 250 breeds *plus* test for over 160 diseases and drug sensitivities!

10. A hanging eucalyptus so they can spruce up their space with just a smidgen of sprigs. Honestly, they won't beleaf what a difference this wall decor makes!

11. A love language card game that'll be a fun way to spend your holiday together, while teaching you both how best to show your love to each other.

12. A set of three tarot tapestries (in a blessedly '70s color palette) they can hang on their bare walls to make them instantly brilliant.

13. Crafting with Cat Hair to let your BFF know you love them *and* their furocious affection for their four legged baby.

14. A cooling weighted blanket with natural glass beads on the inside for weighted pressure, a gift that will quickly become their favorite thing in their bedroom — a lot of reviewers mention it's helped them with insomnia and anxiety.

15. A carbonated face mask for helping them feel bubbly inside and out.

16. A pair of suede boots that'll match everything in their closet (even dresses they still want to wear during the winter) and still be comfy to walk in when it's cold outside.

17. Bond Touch bracelets that'll give your partner a subtle sign of love whenever they're missing you. They'll seriously melt when they receive a "touch" and their wrist lights up during the day or night.

18. A fun coloring book because it'll let your friend end their work day with happy hour animals. Each coloring page has drink recipes, so they can sip on a spritzer or cosmo while they color their heart out at home.

19. A bath caddy because they'll love spending their OOO time sipping wine and reading a juicy bestseller in the tub. This tray is expandable and can also fit a tablet, in case they want to binge-watch their fave TV shows too.

20. A Bed Head Wave Artist Deep Waver if they want gorgeous, beachy waves without spending hours at the salon. Boost shine and keep strands frizz-free with this great styling tool.

21. A pair of trainers they'll love if their feet hurt all the dang time. The sporty-chic design and fresh foam midsole makes them both cute and comfortable enough to wear all day.

22. A charcuterie board and cutlery set for the host or hostess with the most or mostess in your life. This bamboo set of goodies will get anyone excited to slice up some meats and cheeses.

23. A spirit infusion kit to take 'em from rookie to mixologist in no time. Handcrafted pomegranate vodka? How do you sign up to be a taste tester...?

24. A cable knit turtleneck sweater they'll wear all cold-weather season long because it's so darn cozy.

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this! It’s the perfect fall/winter cozy oversized cable knit sweater. Perfect length for high or mid-waisted jeans and true to size. I normally wear an 8 but went one size up for a looser fit... the medium would have been perfect for a more fitted look. Material is SO soft. Can’t wait to wear this over the holidays, looks and feels like an expensive designer one!" —Bee Dav

Price: $39.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 41 styles)

25. A custom-dyed, ribbed-stretch hair wrap — in possibly the most gorgeous set of colors I have ever laid my eyes on — that they can style in a variety of ways. But guys, the colors...

26. A set of whiskey- and rum-aged coffee beans because just like you and your bestie, booze and brew go together like PB&J.

27. A fashion watch that only *looks* expensive so your wallet can be just as happy as them when they open this!

28. An oversized, 25-ounce prosecco glass that *computes math* is equivalent to one champagne bottle. Yup. I will let you figure out who needs this one.

29. A salt shooter so they can hunt the trickiest game out there: the pesky housefly. That...or use it to season their food in the most exciting way possible.

30. A 6-quart Vortex air fryer for making all of their favorite comfort foods — we're talking everything from wings and glazed donuts to charred Brussels sprouts and sesame chicken — *without* having to use hot oil. It's even great for crisping up leftovers!

31. Out of Print toddler socks for the littlest bébé in your circle. To be honest, this is more of a gift for yourself. I mean, their little feet! In these little library socks! It's the joy we need in 2020.

32. Cravory Cookies so delicious, they'll probably eat all 12 treats in a single sitting (fair). Here are all the individually-wrapped flavors that come in the box: birthday cake, chocolate chip, cookie monster, lemon bar, salted caramel cream, and red velvet. Two of each. I am drooling at the thought.

33. A durable and nonstick brownie pan that adds delicious, chewy corners to every brownie they bake for a dessert that has *just* the right amount of crispness. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to a) order this for a friend and b) order this for myself.

34. BuzzFeed's Goodful stainless-steel straws for a more eco-friendly approach to sipping their iced coffee. This set comes equipped with two collapsible straws, a cleaning brush, and a carrying pouch — plus, both straws are adjustable in size and can accommodate different cups.

35. A quilted fleece pullover they'll feel super cute and super warm in. It doesn't get much better than that!

36. An illuminating essential oil diffuser to give the gift of aromatherapy to anyone who would enjoy some soothing scents flowing through their home.

37. A pair of versatile high-waisted leggings with pockets (!!!) for the friend or sibling who lives in leggings. Trust me, they can never have too many!

38. A pair of microwavable lavender scented plush sloths to be the best cuddle buddy for anyone who needs one. When heated, this little guy can help soothe aches and pains and the lavender scent just makes it that much more relaxing.

39. A pair of cozy unisex slippers with plush lining and foam midsoles so they can experience optimal comfort around the house. The rubber soles are an added bonus so they can run out to the mailbox or take out the trash without digging through the dreaded shoe pile.

40. A Corgi succulent vase that's a ~dog~-gone good way to bring a smile to your friend's face and a bit of happiness when they look at it and remember who gave it to them.

41. A loop-through faux fur stole perfect for the bougie-est person on your list who take their style seriously. This epic stole will make them feel like a million bucks — and look like a million bucks at the same time.

42. A Thaw Claw to defrost meat up to seven times faster. All they have to do is suction it to their sink, fill the sink with water, and then put the frozen food under the claw. It will be defrosted in no time — and they'll never have to remember to take the meat out of the fridge in the morning again. (Why is that always the hardest thing to do?!?)

43. A microwave popper so they can make delicious homemade popcorn in a matter of minutes. Once they try it this way, they'll realize it's a much ~butter~ way to make this delicious snack than buying all those microwave packets from the store.

44. A portable blender so they can make a delicious smoothie in seconds anywhere. Yep, you read that right, *anywhere*. We're talking at work, home, on the street, or at the gym.

45. A pair of socks they can put on after they've had a long day and need a bit of R&R (aka some wine).

A pair of grey socks where one says "If You Can Read This" on the sole and the other has "Bring Me Some Wine" on it with the box next to it

46. A gorgeous authentic jade roller and gua sha set they can treat themselves to during a much-deserved DIY spa day (or every day, tbh).

47. A heated back and neck massager which will definitely win you the title of "Best Gift-Giver EVER" in anyone's book.

48. A Himalayan salt rock night light that'll give off a warm, comforting glow, act as a natural air filter, and add a little extra ~zen~ to their home.

49. Or a set of Himalayan salt shot glasses to add a little stylish saltiness to a tequila connoisseur's bar. Great for sipping or for shooting back and desperately sucking down a lime.

50. A National Geographic break-open geodes kit for aspiring geologists or crystal-lovers of any age. This gift is interactive, educational, and gives your loved one the option to decorate their space with tons of unique geodes.

51. A Homesick candle inspired by your giftee's home state or current digs. Each one has its own unique scent that'll transport its owner back to sipping on some whiskey in Tennessee or basking in the air of the maple trees in Vermont.

We gave Homesick a shoutout in our roundup of the best candles available on Amazon.

Promising review: "My boyfriend’s family travels and is pretty well-off, which makes them all EXTREMELY hard to shop for. My go-to has been always been candles, but certain smells can make or break your reputation REAL quick. THIS CANDLE CRUSHED IT. My BF’s mom was born in Hawaii, and the scent of this brought a huge smile to her face. Later she showed me all the things she’s kept from the islands and added her new candle to her collection. Truly the best gift, for her (and for me)." –Hilary

Price: $34 (available in all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico, Northern and Southern California, and certain cities)

52. An easy-to-use cold brew coffee maker that'll knock the socks off of any of the many people in your life who need a daily dose of iced caffeine before getting anything done.

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my husband's birthday, not really thinking much of it. He’s a coffee enthusiast and honestly I didn’t think this would become a staple in his coffee making, just another coffee gadget. He LOVES this thing. He fills it will ground coffee before bed, adds water and puts it in the fridge. His only complaint is that it can be a little tough to get all the grounds out into the trash, but that’s just a common problem with diffuser filters like this. He also loves that it’s plastic because he can be pretty accident-prone. It’s thick and so far we have not had any warping or discoloration. We hand wash this only, I don’t think I would put it in the dishwasher. Overall, awesomely priced product and great gift for coffee lovers!" –Steph

Price: $27.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors)

53. A stainless-steel watering can and mister set they'll cherish in action and love as decor. Plant parenting (plarenting?) has never looked so good! 😍

Promising review: "This watering can is so easy to use, and it holds a lot more water than you would think by the size. I also love the cap that comes on the end of the spout — a great way to avoid spills!! Appreciate the pretty mister that comes with it, too. Both look very nice on the shelf where I house my plants in front of a window." —MC Phillips

Price: $26.99+ (available in three colors)

54. A mini Fujifilm Instax camera because they're sick and tired of trying to understand the inner workings of Night Mode on their phone. This will let them snap pics in a fun and unique way, plus make their memories feel *extra* special.

Promising review: "My niece and nephew visited me this summer and I thought it would be a fun way to document the things they did. They enjoyed the pictures and making a book with all the activities they did with family and friends. It's easy to use. The instructions are small so you might need a magnifying glass for them, but once we figured it out, we have taken it everywhere with us." –Bonni Hammer 

Price: $73.99+ (available in five colors and in different bundles)

55. Baby Nessie tea infuser that'll make steeping their favorite herbal blends easy and adorable!

It has two detachable pieces made out of silicone so your giftee can toss Nessie in the dishwasher after dumping out their tea leaves!

Promising review: "I love Nessie! Such a great little strainer. Very fun seeing their head stick out of my tea mug. Holes are a good size and don't let too many tea leaves go through when straining. Very easy to clean since Nessie is made of silicone. If you have someone who loves tea, this is a great gift for them!!" –Haley Decker

Price: $16.95 (available in three colors)

56. set of pearl claw clips to elegantly elevate their obsession with the resurgence of the Y2K trend. Each set comes with claw clips of varying sizes and styles, so they'll be covered for both half-up-half-down looks and updos!

Promising review: "These clips hold well and give a dressy look to putting your hair up. So far, the quality is very good. Many sizes for different hair styles. Great price!" –Nana11

Price: $8.99+ (available in three styles)

57. pair of rainbow drip taper candles that take the ol' "candle as a last-minute gift" scenario (that we all know too well) from drab to fab. Their dining room table just got sooo much cooler.

Promising review: "Candles were awesome! They did just what they were supposed to: melt in colors, create ambiance, and be a cool decor piece. They burn really slow, so the individual colors run for a while. I placed a doily under them and placed them in used bottles (I did shave the bottoms down so they could fit) and we were good to go!" –Kerstein Dorvil

Price: $5.73 (for two)

58. A colorful cloud-shaped bath bomb made with green tea, honey, lavender, and chamomile to help to transport them ~somewhere over the rainbow~ at the end of a long day, where everyday stresses and responsibilities don't exist. 😍

Promising review: "I received these as a gift from my daughter. Wow! The scents are heavenly and they were boxed well and wrapped exquisitely! I love the rainbow colors of this bath bomb, what a brilliant idea! These would make for perfect gifts." —Ali's World

Price: $19.97 (for a set of four)

59. Or some essential oil-infused lavender shower steamers, if they're not much of a "bath person." These lavender gems will help to relieve things like stress, fatigue, and even congestion (!!!), all while they fizzle.

Promising review: "I kept seeing this product pop up on TikTok so I decided to buy a pack and I'm SO GLAD I DID! These smell so good and are a perfect way to relax while in the shower. I now recommend them to everyone I know!" —Merry

Price: $23.98 (for a pack of 15; available in other varieties)
