The countdown to the holidays has begun and shipping deadlines are fast approaching.

Don't worry, I, like you, am marathon shopping in the days leading up to Christmas. So, from experience, I know some of the best last-minute gifts you can get for everyone on your list. Plus, I have something for every budget, from stocking stuffers to big ticket items that no one needs to know they ordered days ago.

That said, I wouldn't wait any longer. If you're not already a member of a retailer with fast shipping benefits, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime at Amazon. As the end of December approaches, I will post other items such as gift cards and other ideas that you can manage even if you are short on time. Check below for the best items for last-minute gifts.
