What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it. You can see Amazon's full shipping information here.

1. A portable espresso machine for your coffee-loving friend who can't bear the idea of being without their morning espresso. This is perfect for people living in dorms, or for your adventurous friends who spend practically every weekend outdoors.
2. A dartboard that'll have you hitting the bullseye with the best gift of the season. Consider giving this to the pub- or sports-loving friend in your life.
3. A jade roller and gua sha set, because this'll boost the radiance in your loved one's complexion and give them a daily facial massage. There's no wondering why gua sha tools have been a staple for centuries.
4. A Kindle Oasis that is pretty much the best gift I've ever received! Well, truthfully, I gave it to myself — the reason being is that it saves me shelving space that would've gone to paperback books, it has a warm light feature that won't keep me up at night, and it has an ergonomic back (unlike other Kindle's) that makes holding this device in one hand a breeze.
5. A fitness tracking smartwatch for the fitness friend in your life who's always excited to share how many steps they've taken a day. This smartwatch pretty much does it all — from letting you know the weather and reminding you of your schedule, to monitoring your heart and taking notes of your sleep cycle, this smartwatch is pretty much always working. Plus, this watch is Alexa compatible, which is perfect for any tech-loving person in your life.
6. An ice cream maker that I've received as a holiday gift in the past — and boy oh boy, as an ice cream lover, this was the gift that kept on giving. This machine is simple to use; all your recipient really *has* to do is put their ingredients into the machine, turn it on, and in about 20 minutes they'll have a fully churned, velvety bucket of ice cream. This machine also works with nondairy milk for a vegan-friendly option, and can even make some delicious frozen yogurt.
7. A portable instant photo printer so that the up-and-coming photographer you know can have tangible photos to add to their portfolio.
8. An electric milk frother, just in case you've never seen your loved one without a latte in their hand. This works great at frothing milk of all variations (both dairy and nondairy) to a creamy, velvety state with a simple push of the button.
9. A set of cute cat socks, because who isn't in need of more socks?! Consider this cute gift for your kitty-loving co-worker.
10. An oversized duffle bag to help the jet-setter you know have a more pleasant travel experience. Multiple compartments, a cross-body strap, and a timeless design? This one is a no brainer.
11. A pour-over coffee maker so that your loved ones can ditch their old-school coffee pot and have a coffee-shop quality cup of joe every morning.
12. A pair of fuzzy slippers, because what's better than being gifted a pair of fuzzy, warm slippers? Being gifted a pair of fuzzy, warm slippers that has a secure ankle strap, that's what.
13. A charcuterie board set that'll have your foodie relatives showing off their intricate fruit and cheese boards with pride. You can use this board while it's closed for a simple circle spread, or open the board, exposing the utensils, for more surface area for your prosciutto.
14. A massage gun so that your fitness buddy can properly loosen up all the kinks in their muscles from intense workouts. This massage gun has 10 different head attachments that are great for either a light massage or a pin-pointed release session.
15. A sleek essential-oil diffuser that looks more like decor than a diffuser. This is perfect for your zen loved ones who are always chasing the aesthetic.
16. A donut making machine so that your little ones can take Sunday breakfast to a whole new level. They'll surely love the chance to learn about working in the kitchen while they glaze and sprinkle their morning away.
17. A 29-piece grooming kit for the person in your life who seems to spend every other day at the barber shop. This kit is perfect for all your face, head, and body grooming needs.
18. A plush reversible throw blanket that doubles as both a decor piece and a super cozy blanket to nuzzle under. Consider this for your friend who LOVES sprucing up their Netflix binge experiences.
19. A mini mushroom grow kit for your friend who absolutely ~cannot~ stop talking about mushrooms. This gift is fun, as your giftee will watch their mushrooms sprout before their very eyes. And it's also rewarding! Your giftee can eat their mushrooms once they're fully grown!
20. A complete bartender set that'll be pretty much heaven-sent for anyone who is always on the hunt for the perfect Negroni. Now, they'll be able to make it themselves.
