Curious what other people are giving this Christmas? Well, today's your lucky day because I've rounded up the most popular Christmas gifts that Yahoo readers have added to their carts this holiday season. One thing's for sure: Useful finds dominated in 2023. I'm talking silicone air fryer liners, cooling towels and reusable car cleaning gel (which was far and away the leader of the pack). All of these picks make life a little bit easier, cleaner and in some cases cozier — and really, it doesn't get much better than that, does it?
Even better: Every single item on this list comes in at $20 or less and they're all available on Amazon. And yes, and you can get them all in the nick of time with Prime delivery! Still in need of a few stocking stuffers? These wool socks rock! Hoping to tack on something small to your mom or dad's main present? The aromatherapy pillow spray will inspire a good night's rest, aka the best gift of all.
Don't wait to grab something that catches your eye— all of these gift ideas are popular for a reason — and we expect many will sell out before Christmas.
You can vacuum your car all you want, but getting the gunk out of the cupholders, dash and in between the buttons is hard to do — unless you have this squishy cleaning gel. Like the slime kids love, this sticky gel is designed to adhere to dust and other debris, but not your hands. It also doesn't leave any residue, despite its sticky, slimy texture. Plus, you can reuse it until it turns black.
One shopper shared: "This product works like magic. I’ve vacuumed and used an air hose on my car console, and they never get it like I want it. I ordered this product, and I was amazed! I rolled it around and it got every bit of dust and miscellaneous things, every bit. I took four minutes to do my whole giant console area."
They love their air fryer, but cleaning it? Not so much. Pop this food-grade silicone liner into the basket, then just wipe it clean or run it through the dishwasher after messier meals. Just make sure you know what size appliance they're working with — either a 3-to-5-quart or 5-to-7-quart basket.
Your handyman is about to be a whole lot, well, handier. When he wears this magnetic wristband, he can keep screws, nails, bolts and drill bits literally within arm’s reach.
If you're in the market for new gloves, look no further than these checkered beauties. Amazon reviewers back up Oprah's claims, with one saying that "they are lightweight, warm and the touch screen works pretty well." Every color is now available for $20.
Made with natural sleep aids such as lavender, chamomile and vetiver, this will help calm her mind and get her snoozing in no time. Just spritz pillowcases and bed linens just before bedtime.
Make her cracked dogs springtime-ready! She can apply her favorite moisturizer, slip these on to lock it in and wake up to soft, happy feet.
He works hard, he plays hard, and sometimes he overheats. He can run this under water for 10 seconds, wring it out and drape it around his neck for some blissful relief. It will stay cool for up to two hours on the hottest days.
Stick all five pairs in her stocking or divvy them up between a few of the special women in your life. Don't let the price and pretty colors fool you: "The colors are even more vibrant than the picture. The socks are well designed and extremely warm, without making your feet hot or sweaty. I would not survive the winter months without them," one happy customer wrote.

Now they can adjust their specs without schlepping all the way to the optometrist. Switch between the five different magnetic bits depending on the screw size. It'll also come in handy for fixing timepieces, computers and other appliances.
This isn't your average poncho. Nope, this one has buttons running down one sleeve, so you can either: 1. go for the asymmetrical look 2. wear it with the buttons down the middle to make it a batwing cardigan or 3. unbutton it and drape it around your shoulders. It comes in 35 colors, but only select colors (like black, navy and burgundy) will arrive in time for Christmas with Prime.
