The 12 Best Gifts You Can Still Get at Amazon, According to a Shopping Writer — Up to 50% Off

Holiday shopping is no easy task — that’s why we shopping writers do the work for you. As an Amazon shopping writer, I spend hours scoping the best steals, deals, and sellers in every department. 

This month, Amazon created a holiday hub that’s chock-full of stellar gifts, stocking stuffers, decor, and more. I dug through the festive treasures to find the best gifts to give this holiday season, including ones I’m hoping to find under my tree this year, and they’ll all arrive before Christmas. Even better, so many of my finds are on sale right now — you can save up to 50 percent on top-rated picks from Apple, Yankee Candle, JW Pei, and more.

Dearfoams Fireside Sydney Shearling Slippers, $50 (Save 44%)

I’ve been eyeing these Dearfoams slippers for months, especially knowing they’re from one of Oprah’s favorite brands. They’re lined with ultra-plush and toasty shearling for warmth and  have a memory foam insole for long-lasting comfort. The outsole is made from thick, durable rubber that provides enough traction for outdoor wear, so there’s no need to kick them off before running out to the mailbox. And 50 reviewers raved that they could wear the slippers “all day” at home. 

My big dilemma is deciding which of the 20 colors I want the most. Chestnut is a classic hue, but I also love the look of dusty pink and coffee. You can shop the slippers for up to 44 percent off in sizes 1 through 11.

Sol De Janeiro Cheriosa ’62 Hair and Body Mist, $38

More than 80,000 Amazon shoppers bought this Sol De Janeiro hair and body spray this month, so it’s safe to say it’ll be a hit over the holidays. I’ve been a longtime fan of the brand’s Brazilian Bum Bum body lotion that bears the same scent as the mist, so I know I’d love the spray in my collection.

The scent is sweet but not overbearingly — it has notes of vanilla, pistachio, almond, jasmine, sandalwood and more. “[It’s] one of my favorite scents trending right now,” one reviewer shared. “I get compliments constantly.”

Yankee Candle Pink Sands Scented Candle, $15 (Save 50%)

The steepest discount I found is on this Pink Sands-Scented Yankee Candle, which is 50 percent off at the moment. Any summer-lover will adore its tropical scent, which includes a blend of citrus, spicy vanilla, and sweet floral. The large-jar candle can burn for up to 150 hours, according to the brand, which means it’ll last through relaxing bubble baths, movie marathons, or anywhere else you’d want to add some aromatic, cozy ambiance. 

You can still score giftable goodies in time for Christmas at Amazon. Read on to see the rest of my favorites, but act fast to snap them up before these last-minute gifts turn into too-late buys.
