Last-minute shoppers are now feeling the weight of having mere days to shop online before shipping cutoffs won’t guarantee pre-Christmas delivery. Thankfully, instead of fighting the local dads at the grocery store’s gift card stand on Christmas Eve, you can shop through Amazon to find out which items will ship in time for holiday gifting.
When scouting gift ideas on Amazon, you’ll now see the phrase “Arrives before Christmas” above the “Add to Cart” button. If you’re logged in, the site will use your shipping location to determine if the product is close enough to you to get there before Christmas, but you’ll have to order immediately to ensure that’s true.
The only other time-consuming part is trying to find good gifts for those on your shopping list. Men’s Journal has been gift shopping for the last two months, finding the best gifts for women, the best gifts for gym lovers, and the best gifts under $50, among others. The good news is that many of the most popular gifts are still available to ship in time for the holidays.

“I bought this air fryer for my mother on Christmas and she was reluctant to try it out,” a shopper said. “Now she uses it almost daily and makes the best foods with less oil. The settings were simple enough for her to learn after a bit of practice and the recipes that were included were also easy to follow. She definitely came around to this and says it’s much easier and safer than using the stove.”

Some shoppers count on these to help with their health issues that are exacerbated by the cold of winter. “I live in NY and I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and the cold is not kind to my hands,” a shopper said. “It’s so warm, I don’t even have to go past the first setting, and it heats up in like three seconds. It fits right in the palm of my hand…I ordered another one immediately to be able to have one in each hand. It’s a lifesaver for sure!”
