Last Minute Christmas Gifts
When people tell me that they have already finished their Christmas shopping I want to roll my eyes. How is this even possible? Maybe it is just ingrained in me to wait to the last minute. Whether, its from my past life as a buyer knowing that merchandise will be marked down just days before Christmas. Or maybe its the Christmas Eve days I spent at the mall doing all of our last minute shopping with my Dad – which I actually enjoyed – having our Christmas shopping done weeks before Christmas will never happen in our house. So for all of you procrastinators out there I have brought you a Christmas list that will cover almost anyone on your list directly with the perfect gifts to give.
In case you have been living under a rock Amazon is slowly taking over the world and its one the few massive retailers out there where you can literally buy anything and everything and have it delivered in record time. Ohhh and let’s not forget their shipping policies. Amen for Amazon Prime and my gift guide below. So to all my busy ladies out there – fret not – Amazon and I have you covered! Its super simple, sign up with your email address, create an account, and then tackle that long list of holiday gifts you have to give.
Last Minute Gifts That Will Arrive By Christmas
Tech Gifts
ONE – Fitbit Fitness Tracker
Another product that has been on my tentative list that just got bumped up to my yes I need this list is the Fitbit Fitness Tracker. I am actually most interested in two of the features below. Tracking my steps on days I can’t get to the gym and my sleep patterns – yikes! Here is everything is has to offer
TEN – Alexa Echo
So Alexa has been on my tentative list. I finally looked all of her capabilities which I have listed out below and will now be adding her on to my please I was extra nice this year list.
- All-new Echo (2nd Gen) has a new speaker, new design, and is available in a range of styles including fabrics and wood veneers. Love, love, love the grey!
- Echo connects to Alexa to play music, make calls, set alarms and timers, ask questions, control smart home devices, and more—instantly. Everything I need to happen in my life everyday but never have a free hand or minute to do so!
- Just ask for a song, artist, or genre from Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and more. With multi-room music, you can play music on compatible Echo devices in different rooms. Echo can also play audiobooks, radio stations, news briefs, and more. We recently moved our tv out of our kitchen and unless I scroll news feeds I feel like I miss out on current events every morning. This is a great opportunity to get my morning news and evening doo-wop playlists back into my daily routine.
- Call or message almost anyone hands-free with your Echo device. Can we rely on Siri to ever call the right person? Rarely.
- With seven microphones, beamforming technology, and noise cancellation, Echo hears you from any direction—even while music is playing. At least someone in this house will be listening to me.
- Just ask Alexa to check your calendar, weather, traffic, and sports scores, manage to-do and shopping lists, control your compatible smart lights, thermostats, garage doors, sprinklers, and more. Manage my to-do lists is all I have ever wanted in life.
- Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new features and skills. Just ask Alexa to control your TV, request an Uber, order a pizza, and more. Ahhhh…the fight on Friday nights is over. Alexa can order the pizza for the family!

Overnight Shipping Gifts
Just click on the sidebar on Amazon and select next day shipping to filter on gifts that will arrive by Christmas. To be honest next day shipping the day before Christmas gives me anxiety. My suggestion would be order a gift card from this link right here. You can’t go wrong with a gift card. My mom always kept four gift cards to Target at our house and would place them in holiday mugs. In case she forgot someone on our list she could hand them a versatile gift that everyone seems to love. Amazon is the new Target so take advantage of Amazon’s cute gift card card holders. Take a look at this Santa Suit Amazon Gift Card Holder or this Happy Holidays Gift Card in a Snowflake Tin.
