34 Gifts For The Most Impatient Person You Know

I think we all have someone we're picturing in mind right now....(and if this person is you, you can just buy these for yourself).

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.

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*.

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 stainless-steel, dishwasher-safe ice cream scoop (hello, dessert-lover's stocking stuffer) with a ~chiseled edge~ and ergonomic grip for effortless serving — no letting their ice cream sit out for 10 minutes, no microwaving, no chipping at it slowly with a spoon. And it'll make dishing up a sundae feel less like arm day at the gym.

4. 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!
