Every year around this time, I have the same problem. I know what I want to gift to my friends and my family during the holidays, but when people ask me what’s on my list, I have no effing clue. If I find something I like, I tend to just buy it for myself without thinking that this might actually be something good to add to my wish list. Well, this year, I’m trying to hold off with the impulse purchases and actually leave some things on my list that I like or, even better, love.
Amazon is pure magic in the sense that if you can think of something, chances are you’ll find that special something on their website. And even better for last-minute shoppers like me, they have that magical Prime two-day shipping. But the options are literally limitless when it comes to gift options, so I’ve rounded up some of my favorites to add to our Amazon Prime Gift Guide this year.
These products run the gamut, so there’s probably something perfect for everyone. Or you can be like me, add this all to your Amazon wish list, and email it to your family. (In fact, do that today, if they’re still bugging you for a list.)
