33 Gifts For The Most Impatient Person You Know

And if you're impatient yourself to get the holiday shopping started, now's a great time.

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. An Instax instant camera for printed photographs they can share with friends, use to decorate, or Instagram for a little ~photograph inception~ — all in a *snap*.

The light green camera and the rectangular photo it prints out

2. A handheld electric milk frother so they don't *have* to leave home to enjoy a fabulous cafe-quality latte or cappuccino. It only takes a minute or two, and it even works on iced bevvies!

3. A trio of Mario Badescu facial sprays that'll hydrate their face in just one spritz, making them the perfect thing to keep at their dry office or in their purse. They even go right over makeup for a dewy effect that's good for your skin!

The three spray bottles

4. An Amazon Fire TV stick they can simply plug into they existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music they want at the push of a button. They can search for a title and immediately find which streaming service it's on — no browsing for hours and hours looking for a movie.

The HDMI stick and remote

5. The newest version (it has a built-in light now!!) of the original basic Kindle so they can *instantly download* their next read. No walking to the bookstore or waiting two days for a paperback to arrive with Prime shipping.

The black kindle with text 'holds thousands of books"

6. A pulled pork and chicken taster pack that'll show up at their door already cooked, seasoned, and sauced with a Memphis-style BBQ sauce so they can enjoy that sloooow cooked flavor — in just a few minutes. Bring on the BBQ pork nachos.

Shredded meat being made into sandwiches

7. A waterproof, smudge-resistant eyeliner stamp with two sides: a triangular stamp on one end and a felt-tip eyeliner on the other to create the perfect winged liner look in lit'rally one second. It's a great shady gift for your bestie who is always running late perfecting their cat eye.

8. A retro Sega Genesis mini console with an old-school look that's *pre-loaded* with 42 games, including Tetris, Sonic the Hedgehogs 1 and 2, Street Fighter 2, and many more — so they can plug in and get playing without having to buy any extra games first.

9. A Foreo Luna Mini 2, a silicone face-cleansing brush designed to totally remove their makeup, dirt, and oil, AAAAND gently exfoliate your skin in just 60 seconds (I know, it's a gamechanger). It's like a quick little baby facial every day.

10. Two pairs of self-tying shoelaces for your runner friend who likes to head out the door for a quick jog *truly* quickly — they can just slip them through the loops of any lace-up shoe and slip 'em on their feet.

A pair of sneakers with the black shoelaces — which have a tightening toggle rather than a tie

11. An Instant Pot so they can whip up press-the-button-and-watch-the-magic-happen dishes and meals — in much less time than a slow cooker!

14. A pet hair–removing roller with a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid their lovely black sofa of all their furry friend's shedding in a quick roll — so they can get back to cuddling together.

15. A microwave rice steamer to make burnt stovetop rice (or waiting like...40 minutes for your rice cooker to finish) a thing of the past. They can just add grain, water, and pop in the micro. It's a great gift for college students, too!

The red rice cooker filled with rice, with a paddle scooping some of it out

16. A pair of bag-carrying handles if they're the type who REFUSES to make multiple trips to carry all the groceries into the house. They want to carry ALL the bags at once (without hurting their hands)? These'll do the trick.

Two people carrying several bags in each hand hung on the blue handles

17. A rapid car charger with a whopping FIVE USB ports and a FIVE-FOOT cable to power up the whole family's devices on the go. No more waiting in line for the communal charger.

21. A quick-drying top coat so they can finally stop saying "oh sheet!" when they see the indents pressed into their fresh manicure after waking up in the morning. This baby'll have their polish fully set looooong before they go to bed (like, in a few minutes after applying, max!).

22. A Revlon one-step drying brush with a unique oval-shaped barrel so they can get an effortless blowout, smooth hair, and majorly boosted volume at the roots — in THREE MINUTES like the reviewer pictured here.
