But first, what's the shipping deadline for Christmas?
If you're asking that, you're probably procrastinating, in which case, please just buy the dang present already. For USPS, domestic packages should generally be ordered by Dec. 17 for Ground Advantage and First-Class, Dec. 18 for Priority Mail, and Dec. 20 for Priority Mail Express to hit that Christmas deadline. Private carriers, like UPS and FedEx, deadlines vary by service, but popular options like UPS Next Day Air and FedEx Overnight typically require shipping by Dec. 23.
Now, if you're ordering from somewhere like Amazon, you might get away with overnight shipping—but don't risk it. Order early and triple check with your retailer or shipping provider for specific deadlines.
Best Deal
This belt bag has repeatedly sold out on lululemon’s site, so you know it’s good. Despite how small it looks, lululemon’s Everywhere Belt Bag is much roomier than you’d think as it can hold a liter. She can wear the water-repellent bag around her waist or as a crossbody, either way, she’ll be perfectly on trend every time.
A 100% cashmere sweater for just $50? You read that right. Commerce Editor Jessica Dukes has one and can vouch for its quality. As a shopping editor, she has seen other Mongolian cashmere sweaters that cost two or three times as much.
This fun and chic beaded bag is the darling of accessories over on TikTok, and it’s not hard to see why! The olive/martini print and vintage-inspired design make it a total statement piece, but 13 other styles are available too.
Set her up for success in the new year with a new planner. It gives her a monthly, weekly, and daily view of her life, with plenty of space for notes. Choose from dozens of beautiful designs and even customize it with her name.
Elevate her earring stack with this set full of adorable studs. She’ll be able to easily switch out her lineup according to her mood (and outfit) all for just $25.
Just consider this: Fresh mini donuts at home whenever she wants. That's it. That's the gift. If you're lucky, she'll make you a batch, too.
If her wrist could use some new bling, take a look at this dainty watch from Breda. We’re obsessed with the sleek and vintage combo for a timeless timepiece, and she literally won’t want to take it off.
You’ll get a guaranteed smile on their face if you get them a wearable blanket, because who doesn’t love a cozy, snuggly gift? BTW: It has a super spacious front pocket to hold their phone and/or snacks. Movie night, anyone?
Is her nightstand or dresser defined by cluttered chaos? Get her this custom tray for her jewelry, hair accessories, and miscellaneous items. You can also choose the color and customize it with her initials for a personal touch.
If you really want to make sure she’s cozy all winter long, gift her this fluffy blanket. It comes in 16 colors so you can find one that matches her decor. The only drawback? The faux rabbit fur is SO soft, she might be tempted to cancel plans with you just to stay in and snuggle with it.
Anyone would squeal while opening up this ridiculously cute candle from Anthropologie. If you really want to surprise her, shop the other shapes, too—there's a whole pantry's worth of noodle candles to choose from.
For the woman who loves to entertain or simply appreciates a gourmet treat, this Greek EVOO and Italian balsamic vinegar will delight her senses. Pair it with a fresh baguette from a local bakery.
This is the kind of gift that says, “Hey, I really care about you and your safety.” The compact personal alarm is easy to carry. If she’s ever in a situation where she feels unsafe, she can activate a loud siren and flashing light with just a quick pull. It fits right onto any keychain and can easily blend in with her other keychains. It’s a thoughtful gift she’s sure to keep with her at all times.
The Medicube Booster Pro is a skincare game-changer that’s even gotten the stamp of approval from Hailey Bieber. As a model and new mom, Mrs. Bieber reportedly uses this device to help with skincare product absorption. With advanced microcurrent technology, it’s like a spa-worthy treatment you can do right at home.
Give the candle lover in your life a new way to enjoy her collection. Instead of lighting them, this candle uses a heat lamp to slowly melt the wax, releasing its scent. It’ll look nice on her nightstand, too.
If this Old Navy tote is good enough for Jenna Ortega to take on a press tour, it’s good enough for your bestie. We love this one for a stylish, everyday carry-all, and that it costs less than $40!
Looks like self-care Sunday is about to get even better. They’ll love wrapping themselves in a 100% soft, Turkish cotton robe for a feeling of absolute serenity.
Even if she’s in love with her earbuds, we bet she’ll appreciate a pair of noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones. They have more than 31,000 perfect five-star ratings on Amazon, and reviewers say they sound great, connect easily, and have a long battery life (up to 40 hours per the brand).
Anthropologie’s subway tile mugs are always a popular gift—but have you seen the festive holiday version? Grab one with her initial on it, and it’ll be her new favorite hot chocolate mug.
To use this cool digital picture frame, all they have to do is download the app. And if friends and family want to send photos to the frame, all they have to do is email them to the frame's exclusive email address and they’ll appear instantly. You could even take it up a notch and upload some sentimental pics before gifting it.
