The Ultimate Guide to Last-Minute Gift Ideas from Amazon
Can you believe it – Christmas is only a few weeks away! Every year I try my best to get my shopping done before Thanksgiving – and luckily this year I managed to achieve it. The only problem is, when I shop early, I tend to CONTINUE to shop well into the holiday season, and then end up overbuying – anyone else have this issue?
For those of you who might be struggling to grab a few gifts before Christmas arrives, I’ve put together my recommendations for the last minute holiday haul to check out!

For the Ladies
Looking for something for your bestie, wife, mom or MIL? Here’s some of my favorites:
- A small shoulder bag: I absolutely love the white and brown color – I actually REALLY adore this bag and it’s at a great price point! It’s actually on sale right now if you hurry! You guys have also loved this bag as well from my Gucci Dupe post; so check it out if a solid color is more your style.
- Shower Steamers: Absolutely adore these. A simple gift if you’re just looking for a small something!
- Sol de Janeiro: Really any of their products: the scrub, lotion, or spray would be a win. It smells SO good, and reminds you of a sunny day at the beach. Perfect for the cold winter days to mentally escape after you’ve had a nice shower with your steamer!
- NEST Reed Diffuser: I love these scents. They have candles too, but something is so elegant and posh about the diffuser that elevates it to more of a Luxe gift.
- Luxe Skincare: Every woman loves to try new skincare products. I’m loving the Summer Fridays products, especially this moisturizer – leaves a small shine to make you look refreshed. The packaging is also so minimalistic and appealing.
For the Men
This area is not my strong suit – ha! – but here are some finds for the husbands, brothers, and men in your life:
- Portable Bose Speaker: For the golf bag, to keep in the car, or anywhere in a pinch: this little speaker is affordable (and on sale!) for a perfect gift.
- Indoor Putting Green: Practice putting anytime in the basement, bar, or putdown and pickup whenever needed to help get through cold winters. We have this exact one.
- Pocket Hand Warmers: These would come in handy for hunters, while shoveling snow, or walking in the winter. Super practical and affordable for a stocking stuffer.
- Magnetic Dart Board: Avoid the hole-in-the-wall with the popular magnetic dart board – on sale at the time of posting!
- Mantry Gift: I’ve gifted Rick this a few times, and it’s always a fun gift. It’s a crate of food tailored to men. Each box comes with things like barbecue sauce, spices, snacks, recipes and more. The crates are great for pantry storage after.
For the Toddlers
Some tried and true products we already have in our home and I would recommend if you’re looking for an extra winter gift under the tree:
- Kids Play Tent: We Got Ana this for her birthday, and all three kids have a lot of fun playing in the house.
- Soft Building Blocks: Another huge hit around here. The boys AND Ana adore these blocks and play with them every single day. We also have this set of climbing blocks that they use too!
- Magna-Tiles : A crowd pleaser, always. ALL of my kids love playing with this.
- Play Kitchen : Pretty much a staple in any home, we have this play kitchen and all of the kids love it. They “make” food and “cook” almost daily. The kitchen itself is really simple and not too large.
- Kids Art Easel: We got this for last years big Santa present, and the Ana really enjoyed it. Love the simple design and it adjusts height to grow with your kid.
