11 Last-Minute Items to Get Before They Sell Out on Amazon

by Tom Philip

Well, here we go again; You told yourself this is the year you don’t wait until the very last minute to buy your holiday gifts, but we’re sitting here with less than a week to go until Christmas and you’re currently scanning your bookshelf for something you can wrap and pretend you think your mom might find it “interesting.”

So, we’ve put together something of a last-minute gift guide for everyone in your life, and it’s all stuff you can get on Amazon whizzed to your house the moment you hit that “Place Order” button. From the season’s hottest headphones to the best mug in the world (no, really), here are the best last-minute gifts to get before they’re snatched up.

Toshiba 50-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV

The best cheap TV in the business is still on sale for $70 off. With 4K, HDR, and Fire TV capabilities built in, it would be a bargain even at double this price.

Tile Slim - Phone Finder. Wallet Finder. Anything Finder

The Tile Slim has, to put it mildly, saved my idiot ass time and time again, even if most of what it does is tell me “your wallet is in your room literally seven inches from where you’re standing, under a hoodie. Clean your room, Jesus.” I may be projecting some of this onto what is a perfectly benign and useful item.

YETI Rambler 14 oz Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Mug

Simply put: The best mug in the game. The Yeti is big, its handle is big, and it’s built beautifully. What’s more, with thermal insulation and a lid, it will keep your morning coffee hot for hours.

Instant Pot 6 Qt 6-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker

The Instant Pot is, as we’ve said before, the perfect thing to buy any time of year. This is Amazon’s best-selling item across all home goods, and there’s a reason for that: it rules, and changes home cooking in ways you never imagined, even if you’re mostly a microwave ramen dirtbag like me.
