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 researching the best steals, deals and sellers in every department.
This month, Amazon has created a holiday hub that’s packed with stellar gifts, stocking stuffers, decorations and more. I’ve been digging through the holiday treasures to find the best gifts for this holiday season, including the ones I hope to find under my tree this year, all of which will 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 products from Apple, Yankee Candle, JW Pei and more.

Oprah’s favorite makeup palettes are a real stocking stuffer – get them for $8 each
Dearfoams Fireside Sydney Slippers, $50 (Save 44%)
Buy on Amazon $89 $50
I had my eye on these Dearfoams slippers for months, especially knowing they were from one of Oprah’s favorite brands. They are lined with ultra-plush and toasty shearling for warmth and feature a memory foam insole for long-lasting comfort. The sole is made of thick, durable rubber that provides enough grip for outdoor wear, so there’s no need to take them off before running to the mailbox. And 50 reviewers said 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 shade, but I also love the look of dusty pink and coffee. You can buy slippers with a discount of up to 44 percent in sizes 1 to 11.
Sol De Janeiro Cheriosa ’62 Hair & Body Mist, $38
Sephora
Buy on Amazon $38
Over 80,000 Amazon customers have purchased this Sol De Janeiro Hair and Body Spray this month, so it’s safe to say it’s going to be a hit this holiday season. I’ve been a longtime fan of Bum Bum Brazilian Body Lotion which has the same scent as the mist, so I know I’d love a spray in my collection. The smell is sweet, but not overwhelming – it has notes of vanilla, pistachio, almond, jasmine, sandalwood and more. “[It’s] one of my favorite on-trend fragrances right now,” said one reviewer. “I get compliments all the time.”
13 gifts under $30 on Amazon that customers love — including Crocs, Laneige and Yeti
Yankee Candle Pink Sands Scented Candle, $15 (Save 50%)
Amazon
Buy on Amazon $31 $15
The biggest discount I’ve found is on this Pink Sands scented Yankee candle, which is currently 50 percent off. Every summer lover will love its tropical fragrance, which includes a mix of citrus, spicy vanilla and sweet flowers. The large jar candle can burn for up to 150 hours, according to the brand, meaning it will last through relaxing bubble baths, movie marathons, or anywhere else you want to add some aromatic, cozy ambiance.
You can still win gifts in time for Christmas on Amazon. Read on to see the rest of my favorites, but act fast to grab them before these last-minute gifts turn into too-late purchases.
