Amazon devices and other great gifts with delivery by Christmas

Add as a preferred source on Google

There are just three days until Christmas, but you don’t have to restrict your shopping to local stores to buy gifts in time for the holiday. Amazon adds new deals to its Last-Minute Deals campaign daily. If Amazon has full confidence in its ability to deliver to your home in time, the words “Arrive before Christmas” are printed in green letters a few lines below the product price. Whether you’re searching for great bargains or looking for perfect presents, Amazon has loads of great gifts ready for shipment to arrive before Christmas. Don’t delay long if you decide to buy one of these products, however, because a deal that’s available for pre-Christmas arrival when we check early in the day may not be available as the day goes on.

Amazon product pages indicate whether delivery is possible before Christmas. Because Amazon knows your address when you log on to the site, shipping availability will likely vary depending on your location and is proximity to the nearest distribution center that has a specific product in stock. There is no such thing as absolute with delivery services, but the estimates are a big help. If an item is not going to be in stock till a date after Christmas, the pages include that information, which is a big help. When we selected the products listed lower in this article, for example, delivery before  December 25 was a required criterion.

You can find excellent deals on 4K TVs, Apple Watches, Fitbits, Garmin smartwatches, and Bose products. There are still high-quality headphones from Sony, Bang & Olufsen, and Bose, Roomba and Ecovacs robotic vacuums, Instant Pots, and Nespresso coffee makers available for a timely delivery.

Amazon dropped several new deals leading up to and beyond Christmas. Until today, December 22, for example, DeWalt Tools have special savings.  Also through today, Amazon has a last-minute discount on Noot NP20T Bluetooth Earbuds. .

Amazon continues to offer excellent discounts on its owned-brand products, including such as Echo, Kindle, Fire, Ring Video Doorbells, and Ring and Blink security cameras. There are still good deals on most Amazon Echo smart home devices such as the Echo and Echo Dot, Echo Shows, Fire TVs, Fire Tablets, and Kindle e-readers. Be on the lookout for exclusive deals on Amazon device bundles with unprecedented savings. We also continue to see new sales on third-party Alexa-compatible devices, including video doorbells, smart security cameras, speakers, lights, robot vacuums, and other appliances.

If you start your shopping on Amazon’s Last-Minute Deals page , you can search by category, which is a significant time-saver if you know the type of gift but not the specific brand or model — you might as well look at the deals first. That same page is a good starting point to check out the day’s lightning deals, short-term, limited-quantity sales, and exclusive bundles. We’ll update this page with the very best deals in the categories we monitor.

Some prices are a tick higher than during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but there are still tons of killer discounts.

Some of the best deals are on Amazon Echo devices, but you can also find excellent deals on Apple Watch Series 3, 4, and 5, iPads, iPhones, Fitbits, Sonos speakers, Instant Pots, 4K TVs, and more. Selected Amazon devices from categories such as Echo Dots, Fire TV sticks, and Ring lights and cameras are all available during the extended holiday sale.

Apple’s first HomeView hasn't reached customers yet, but the company is reportedly working on a more ambitious version. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is developing a higher-end model with a roughly 9-inch display mounted on a robotic arm that can rotate a full 360 degrees.

The current $299 HomeView is still on preorder, with deliveries beginning November 13. It uses a fixed 7-inch display on a speaker base, and Apple also sells a wall-mounted version.

Hot on the heels of the Welcome Home event, Apple is preparing to launch another batch of new hardware, and we may now have a better idea of when some of it will actually reach stores. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is planning a retail store “reset” overnight from November 5 into November 6, potentially pointing to a Friday release for at least some of its upcoming Macs.

Earlier reports pointed to an October 27 launch with several Mac updates and a new iPad mini. The lineup could include redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens, alongside a separate 14-inch MacBook Pro that keeps the current design but moves to the M6 chip. An updated M6 iMac is also reportedly in the works.
