Order these through Amazon before Sunday night and they’ll arrive in the (Saint) Nick of time
You’ve waited until nearly the last day possible to pick out some Christmas gifts, did you? Now you’re worried about what you’re going to get your friends and family members. Not to worry, we’ve got your back.
We have compiled a list of great products, from brands we trust, that will make the perfect last-minute gift for everyone. Just don’t tell them you waited, goofball. We can keep a secret.
First things first
The first thing you are going to need to do is sign up for an Amazon Prime account. This way, you get free two-day shipping that’s guaranteed to arrive in time for Christmas just so long as you order before December 22.
Two-Day Shipping (FREE with Amazon Prime)
Order as late as midnight EST / 9 p.m. PST (varies by item) Sunday, December 22
Note that Amazon Prime accounts can be canceled at any time you want but after your 30-day free trial it costs $79.99 per year. Actually, moms and students get a discounted plan so check that out if you haven’t yet!
Unless otherwise noted, these gifts are under $20 each.
Gift Card
Should you absolutely run out of ideas and have no clue as to what your friends want or need, this one works in a pinch. Actually, you can order these and have them emailed to you contacts within minutes. It doesn’t get any more last-minute than this, but it works!
For what it’s worth, it’s possible to have them delivered via Facebook or printed out at home.
In addition to selling Amazon gift cards, you can also scoop up brands like Starbucks, Regal Entertainment, Applebee’s, GameStop, Kohl’s and others.
Targus Stylus
Perfect gift for your friends or family members who own a tablet or Kindle Fire. Toss it in the pocket or purse or keep it at the office for those times when you need to mark up a document or draw mustaches on photos.
Galaxy S4 Wallet Case
Great protection and utility in one bundle, it’s exactly what the Samsung smartphone needs to stay safe and secure. Slim and low profile, it comes in at least eight color options.
Belkin SurgePlus Mini Travel Swivel Charger with Dual USB Ports
Whether your loved one is a jet-setter or a college student, this handy gadget will prove to be beneficial. Not only does it turn your standard outlet into three plugs, but it adds a pair of powered USB ports (1A, 2.1A) as well. Swivel in 360-degrees and lock into one of four position – very convenient!
SanDisk 8GB microSD Card
SanDisk 8GB microSD Card
It ain’t the fastest memory card on the block but it might be more storage than they already have. Most phones have 8GB or more internal storage with the option to expand via microSD. And, with so many adapters and readers out there, this also helps with digital cameras, MP3 players, and other gadgets.
6’ MicroUSB Cable
Fact: you can never have enough MicroUSB cables. It’s like science or something, too. There’s nothing wrong with tossing a few of these around the house. Keep a couple on deck for when guests drop by and need some juice. The best part is that these are six feet long; no need to crawl behind the couch.
Samsung Handsfree Stereo Headphones with Mic
Chances are good that someone you know owns a Samsung smartphone. Why not hook them up with a pair of official headphones from Samsung? Features volume control, microphone, and answer/end key and soft earbud rings.
Car charger
As great as battery life has gotten over the last few generations, GPS can still be quite the drain. Put a charger in your car and top off on the way home from work.
Tablet Stand
This portable stand can fold up and travels with virtually zero footprint. A great companion accessory for 7-inch devices like the Kindle Fire HD or bigger tablets like the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. Watching movies, reading books, or simply browsing emails – whatever the case, this makes it much easier.
Toshiba Canvio 500GB Portable Hard Drive $50
How about dropping half of a terabyte of storage into a stocking? Compatible with USB 2.0 or 3.0, it’s small and able to withstand the occasional drop. Just because you can put everything in the cloud doesn’t mean that you have to. A great way to backup pictures, videos, and other media.
AmazonBasics Accessory Bundle
A goodie bag of must-have accessories, this one includes a stylus, a 2.1A USB wall charger, a USB 1.0 AMP DC charger, and a Micro USB to USB charging cable. If for no other reason, buy this as a backup kit to take on trips or to keep in the car. It’s almost guaranteed that you’ll reach for one of these components at some point.
GreatShield Flex Grip Lightweight Universal Car Mount Holder
Whether you’ve got an Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone lover in your life, this one will do the trick. Attaches to the windshield or dashboard with a twisting lock/suction and swivels your phones in any direction, 360-degrees. Fits most smartphones save for those larger devices such as the Galaxy Note 3
5200mAh High Capacity Portable Power Backup
Toss in a bag or purse and you’ve got enough juice to take a phone from zero to to one hundred twice over. Small and sleek, it pulls double duty as a flashlight for up to 250 hours. Bonus points for the LED indicator to keep users in the know.
Cruzerlite TPU Case
Tons of color option and designs to choose from; one of our favorite ways to protect Android smartphones. Odds are good that you’ll find something you’ll enjoy for any number of key devices released in the last year or so.
Google Chromecast $30
You don’t really need us to explain why this guy is the best $35 you can spend, do you? With a fast-growing list of apps with support, this is one of our favorite gadgets of all time and it’s only getting started. Output your favorite movie apps, streaming services, and so much more. Better buy a few of these so you can put one in each room.
